Uber-rich chocolatey flavor. Black as midnight. Bitter like strong coffee, but only a slight coffee flavor. More like a bitter dark chocolate. Delicious.

Jan 3, 2010 My god. Not much head, but a very thick pour. A well balanced and powerful stout. Aromas like a merry-go-round of coffee, roast, chocolate, bitter stuff, ripe fruit. Oily, sticks to the roof of my mouth palate. This was aged 10 months, would like to try an older one. One of my favorites!

Jan 3, 2010 Bottle. Black with hints of burnt mahogany. Very little head to speak of. Smells of chocolate and vanilla. Heavy and sweet on the tongue with a hint of sour. Perhaps the last is the result of a bad decanting job, but I’ll be able to tell better on the next bottle. Rich and creamy hints of coffee chocolate and oak with a taste that lasts and lasts.

Jan 3, 2010 The appearance is a black color, dark tan head, with a vicosity which clings to the glass. Very beautiful. The aroma is equally beautiful, chocolate, coffee, vanilla, an earthy quality, and a spicy/soy component. The flavor is also nice dark chocolate, roasted coffee, vanilla extract, cream, and a little bit of soy sauce again. The finish was a lovely hop bittering, with notes of pine, grapefruit and resin. Gorgeous thick, oily mouthfeel. Among the best.

Jan 3, 2010 Picked up in a trade from Exiled.
2007 vintage. Pours pitch black with basically no head. What little head is present is is a brown color. Aroma is strong coffee with some roasted malt and dark fruit. the flavor is heavy on the roasted malt with some smokiness. Some dark fruit and bitter chocolate as well. There is also a slight soy sauce character to the beer. The alcohol has a nice alcohol warming affect. Very thick body and low carbonation. Slightly creamy mouthfeel. This one might have improved with more carbonation.

Dec 31, 2009 Pours jet black with a small brown head that sticks around for a while. The aroma is dominated by chocolate and coffee notes. Taste is pretty complex with the strongest notes being bitter dark chocolate and coffee. Alcohol is masked pretty well. GREAT STOUT.
