Pours pitch black with a thin light brown head. Lots of dark roasted coffee on the nose. A lot of coffee flavor upfront, with a twangy lactose quality, and a hit of cocoa in the finish. Slick mouthfeel. Rich and full flavored, but not so overwhelming that I couldn’t put down a few pints. Wow, a sessionable coffee stout? Nicely done!

Sep 28, 2008 Updated: Sep 29, 2008Jeckyl and Hyde, Yin and Yang, Good and Bad. This was that beer. While it carried with it a really inticing aroma of chocolate covered espresso beans, treacle, and toffee, the flavor really was a let down. It had a nice coffee/dark chocolate beginning and then, bam...nothing. It just dropped off the palate in an instant and what was left reminded me of drinking a seltzer water. A nice black hue, medium bodied with a one-finger thick tan head. I think if the beer had more depth of flavor, it would score much higher with me. Decent beer, but could have been much, much better.

Sep 10, 2008 Pours inky black with a very quickly receding mocha head. Aroma of cold coffee, black strap molasses, roast bitterness, and wood. Taste of cold, french press coffee, strong roast, earthy oak flavors. Mouthfeel is full bodied with soft carbonation.

Sep 6, 2008 poured thick black with small head that slowly crept up from the bottom of the glass and disapeared quickly. Aroma of coffee- taste is ok - not overly complex but drinkable
