Nov 5, 2009 Draft at Capones. Poured a deep dark black body with an average sized frothy beige head. Aroma was perfect!!! Lots of coffee, oats, chocolate, roasty..simply awesome. The body was slightly thinner then I was expecting with soft carbonation and a bitter finish. The flavor had some definite earth and dirt notes, coffee grinds and bitter dark chocolate. As good as this beer was the aroma had me expecting a little bit more.

Oct 15, 2009 12 oz. bottle - dark brown with thin tan head; oats, roast and some chocolate; texture is thin as is the flavor profile; much like the TOO, this one was pretty bland and disappointing

Sep 6, 2009 Black pour with a brown head. Aroma of sweet malt, roasted malt, a little bit of coffee. Taste is nice and creamy, roasted malt, a little burnt taste. It left lacing on the glass. It leaves a nice roasted flavor in the mouth. All the tastes combine well. I bought a 4 pack and wish it came in a 6-er.
