| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 14/20 | Oct 10, 2006 Draft... GABF ’06... Black ale (mostly clear, brilliant copper when held up to bright light) with a small, tight, beige head. Decent retention. The aroma is a vortex of quality French roast coffee and rich chocolate. Creamy, rich, chocolatey, coffee flavor. Light to medium-bodied with a velvety mouthfeel and lively carbonation. Lightly tangy, espresso finish. CaptainCougar (5458), Rockville, Maryland, USA

Mildly smokey coffee aroma has a subtle touch of roasted malt and sweet dark chocolate. Body has a fairly full sweetness and good slightly drier coffee notes, but could use a little more sweetness. Very smooth and drinkable. ¾ (4999), Colorado, USA
