| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 19, 2007 Bottle from hopdog via Mystery Swap 2.0. Pours deep blackish with 1-finger tan head. Aroma of big coffee grounds, roast dark malt, some hops and jalapeno oil. Very coffeeish aroma. The taste is roasty malty, with a rich flavor of coffee and jalapeno oils...similar to Bell’s Java stout but perhaps not as smooth. It gets a bit tarter as it warms. Very unique.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Mar 18, 2007 Bottle poured into my Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale snifter.
Pours a very dark brown. There is no head to speak of. Only a little froth ring around the perimeter of the glass.
Not a whole lot in the nose. But what you do get is some roasty coffee flavor.
Taste is roasted coffee in your face! Some good roasted/burnt coffee flavors going on here. Not getting alot of other flavors than the coffee. However, the coffee used seems to be decent so it works for me.
Mouthfeel is medium and pretty carbonated. Decent for a stout. This is a good java stout. Not over the top. Just an all around well made beer. hopdog (5592), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 7, 2007 Bottles acquired in trades with Sephiroth & BigErn (thanks!). Poured a dark black with a large sized tan head. Aromas of strong coffee grounds with roast, and chocolate. Tastes of coffee, roast, oats, and light vanilla. Now this is what I expect from a coffee beer - strong aroma and tastes of coffee!
