Huge roasted coffee aroma with slight hints of chocolate. Pours a dark brown with no transparency and a moderate tan head that lasts a minute or so. Like aroma, the flavor is loaded with roasted coffee. Light dark chocolate in the background. Cafe mocha finish fades to a black coffee aftertaste. Chocolate presence increases slightly as you drink. argo0 (6966), Washington DC, USA

The beer has a beige bubbly head atop a dark black body. Excellent lacing. The aroma is really light. Coffee and chocolate notes. Oatmeal? If this beer had some aroma it would be much better. The flavor has tons of coffee and espresso. Dark bitter chocolate. The palate is medium bodied and allows the flavor to linger. StewardofGondor (1934), Washington Heights - Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 14, 2005 Tap @ GTMW. Opaque coffee black color with a deep tan foamy head. Woodsy aroma accentuated by milk chocolate, dark chocolate and Milky Ways. Nice creamy dark chocolate flavor. Mocha and caramel macchiato elements add depth and dimension. Loving the palate feel. Some dark cigar wrappers and coffee beans, along with caramel ribbons running through fudge brownies. Deep espresso roast resonates in the finish. Solid.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jun 25, 2005 Pours a robust dark opaque with a thick, lightly-lacing tan head. Aroma is dry and roasty with some smokiness. Body starts with a nice malty thickness, an earthy palate, and some dry smoke. A nice, easy drinking porter at least compared to the Dark Knight.
