Oct 17, 2009 Pours midnight black with a thick creamy tan head.
Nose is heavy on dark cocoa powder and freshly ground coffee.
Taste is good, flavors are very in tune, a little too carbonated for my taste, nice chocolate and coffee flavors, loads of coffee, slight creaminess, hints of vanilla.

Sep 5, 2009 Bottle thanks to smokepot23!
Dark brown, thin off-white head. Sweet nose, like a sugary pastry, plus chocolate which leads to brownie, and light coffee. Sweet, potentially diacetyl-ed body of heavy roast, some minor creamy coffee, and a slightly sour note. Thin body, not much of a finish. Odd beer.

Aug 6, 2009 Thanks sebletitje for the share. Pours dark brown with a khaki head. Nose is roast, dark fruit, chocolate, and some lactic sweetness. Flavor is very interesting with roast, some slight sour notes and lactic sweetness. An interesting contradiction within itself that holds its own. Enjoyable.
