Aug 2, 2009 Damn this is good!! Black pour. Tons of espresso hit your nose followed by roast and molasses. Flavor is again up front coffee slap in the face with molasses, chocolate and roasted malt. NICE.

Appearance: solid black, fine tan head, lots of lace
Aroma: big coffee and black chocolate aroma
Body: creamy body
Flavor: rich roasted and dark chocolate flavor, lots of coffee character is well balanced with the malts, hint of dark caramel sweetness brings out the dark chocolate, light bitterness keeps the balance
Overall: the coffee adds a nice additional richness but stays well in balance with the base stout, also drier than the standard dark star
