Oct 15, 2009 One of the best beers I’ve ever had. I love the stout, but this one gives lots of chocolate and roast coffee notes, with a very smooth finish and likable aftertaste!

Oct 12, 2009 750 ml bottle. Pours blacker than a thousand midnights. Like a black hole devouring all light that attempts to pass through. A thin, small but creamy head forms slowly. At the onset the aroma is so obviously coffee, but then it begins to divide itself into many different coffees. Dark roast, espresso, even mild. Hints of chocolate? Can the taste ever live up to its bouquet? As I slowly tip the glass I’m at first leery, and fearful of disappointment. But then I’m taken away and actually get chills across my shoulders and back. All the complexity and wonderful diversity of the aroma is maintained … no … surpassed as I get near giddy at the sheer joy of the experience. All the while, that wonderful coffee presence at its core. Soft carbonation, a bit sticky, it leaves me smacking and licking my lips wanting to make sure that I don’t miss a single opportunity for pleasure. I bought this about a month ago, and it states right on the bottle that it’s best if aged 6 to 24 months. Bottled on 8/4/2009 would have meant I’d have to wait until around March of 2010! Alas … I wasn’t strong enough. Then again, if waiting meant it could be even better, I’m not sure I could have survived the experience.

Oct 9, 2009 (bottle - 750 ml) Got this in a trade from jb. Pitch black pour with a creamy tan head. Aroma is full of roasted coffee and roasted malt notes. Flavor is much the same. Tons of roasted flavors explode throughout the beer. A smooth and heavily roasted middle gives way to a roasty and coffee-like finish. Outstanding.
