presario (2501), Calgary, Alberta, Canada Jun 17, 2008 12oz bottle. Thick brown head on black. Doesn’t look too thick or oily. Aroma is a bit winey but mostly chocolate and smoke. Very smooth coffee and dark chocolate flavour. A hint of a bit of tin and wine in the finish.
Beershine (1515), Miami Beach, Florida, USA Nov 28, 2008 Pitch black, tan head is rich and thick. Rich clean dark chocolate plus coffee liquor aroma. Mouthfeel a little prickly and surprisingly thin in finish but that keeps it moorish. Very nice chocolate and coffee bean flavors. Is clean, good, simple. TheOrange (361), Kent, Ohio, USA Nov 28, 2008 Nice black pour with a small brown head. The aroma is of dark roasted malts, and hints of chocolate and coffee. The flavor is what the aroma leads me to expect, there are some additional sweet tastes of fruit/caramel. The body is on the lighter side of full, the carbonation is a bit aggressive. this finish is long and thick. Very enjoyable.
doubelknv3 (507), Illinois, USA Nov 27, 2008 Dark brown with creamy tan head. Sweet malt, caramel, and notes of dark berry. Very sweet malt body: caramel, mild chocolate, and raisin. Sweet front to back with mild burnt roast finish. Boring. msante79 (341), Orland Hills, Illinois, USA Nov 27, 2008 12oz bottle. Pours dark reddish brown with tan head. Aroma is mostly roasted malt and chocolate. Flavor is roasted malt, chocoalate, caramel, and a little coffee. Mouthfeel is a little thin. Finishes bitter with good chocolate flavors. Pretty enjoyable.
jb (775), Rochester, New York, USA Nov 20, 2008 Nice chocolate notes in nose. Light toasted grain, some coffee. Nice looking, very dark pour, tan head, stays around, decent lacing. Oily mouthfeel, light tingly carbonation. Rich feel to the palate. But not as rich as a typical imperial stout.
