Big coffee roast aroma. Small white head. Dark coloured rich on the palate strong in alcohol and hoppy with a crisp and bitter dry roast finish. Cletus (5055), Connecticut, USA

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 27, 2009 750 mL bottle shared at Logan’s 2009 pre-GABF Party. Black pour with a light tan head. Big, coffee aroma. Coffee and dark chocolate flavors. It’s crazy that I had to go all the way to Denver to try a beer brewed in my home state but this is really excellent.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 15, 2009 22 oz bottle acquired via trade. Poured out a deep brown, nearly black with a hefty tan head. This bottle was actually quite the gusher, which you don’t see every day from a stout. The aroma was coffee, coffee, coffee with a light bit of chocolate and some roasted malt. The flavor was also hefty coffee, with the chocolate, roasted malts and a wee bit of smokiness lingering in the background. This beer was a little too carbonated for me and had too thin a mouthfeel, but it was still tasty. All in all somewhat of a disappointment however.
Edit: Forgot to mention that I consumed this with my good friend Juan Valdez, which did make the event a little more special. DMRz (224), Durham, North Carolina, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Aug 9, 2009 Bomber. Pours a dark brown-black with a substantial light brown head. Interesting coffee aroma (like a more fragrant Tanzanian Peaberry) with chocolate and roasted malt. This is a true pleasure to drink with flavors of sweet chocolate, coffee, malt, and a hint of smoke. The rather bitter finish, however, prevents me from rating this higher. On the other hand, this is enjoyable enough to cause a serious distraction when operating heavy machinery such as a supertanker. RCL (1477), Waltham, Massachusetts, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 9, 2009 Big mocha aroma. Nice dry flavor with a lot of nice rich coffee notes and hints of super dark coffee.
