The aroma is a massive dose of chocolate and coffee with accompanying burnt/toasted dark malt notes. The body is full on black and holds a lasting mocha head. Huge coffee component, dark chocolate. Very smooth mouthfeel and clean with well defined flavor demarcations. Nice. shp555 (1690), Atlanta, Georgia, USA

| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jun 10, 2007 Sampler at the Nashville location - Poured a dark black/brown with an almost non-existent tan head. Carbonation is very low. Aroma is strong of roasted malts, but has an unpleasant sharp burnt smell (too much black patent malt?). Flavor was also strong of roasted malts and, unfortunately the flavor of burnt malt and the accompanying astringency was definitely present. Disappointing, given its reputation... freekyp (903), Thomasville, North Carolina, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | May 10, 2007 Awesome towering tan head and opaque black body with a thic chocolatey aroma. Chewy and oily on the tongue with a coating chocolate sweetness throughtout, mitigated by a late bitter coffee finish. Nice roastiness settles on the tongue for a long drawn out finish. eaglefan538 (2401), Wilmington, Delaware, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Apr 14, 2007 Draft in Chattanooga w/ Shag/Clash. Poured the usual dark brown-black color (how black, dunno, lighting was poor), thin initial head, almost a nitrogen type appearance, mediocre lacing. The rest of the experience was pretty run of the mill: light roast, coffee, some chocolate in the aroma and flavor, although the flavor was fairly watery and slightly sour/citrusy? Mouthfeel was thin within style. Drinkable, but not stellar.
