Jan 7, 2008 GABF 2007. I could sware this was labeled "Coffee Double Black" Nonetheless, this was an awesome brew. Excellent blend of espresso, chocolate, alcohol, vanilla, and cream. A thick mouthfeel. Very, very good and very, very strong.

Aug 20, 2009 wow, this was a lot better than i expected! smells fantastic and tastes even better! enticing black pour, an inviting bouquet of smoked prunes and burnt salty caramel. chocolate and coffee permeates all aspects of this brew. it is a tiny bit hot still, subtly revealing the high abv, but it is still quite suiting as it gives you the internal whiskey warmth on the way down. it says not to drink it for another 14 months, so i am going to age a few, i expect they will mellow nicely and become even more stellar! very nicely done beer!

Jul 18, 2008 22oz bottle from BevMo La Jolla. Pours black with a medium sized beige head that became a thin ring after a few seconds. Tons of cocoa dust, bitter chocolate, coffee, spice, and some dark fruits on the nose. Flavor was big and bold just like the nose. Alcohol was abundant but not over powering. Amazing mouth feel similar to that of Abyss but a little smoother.

Jul 20, 2008 Aroma is a deep, sweet roasted scent. Color is a solid black with a tight head and light carbonation. Taste is rich, sweet and tasted. Starting with a full body it goes down easy with a sweet bite at the end. Finish comes in sweet with a roasted malt taste and a little dried fruit then a bitter chocolate flavor. After taste is more of the same with a little alcohol showing. Wow this is an amazing brew, its extremely complex, rich and bold and soo tasty you just can’t stop drinking it

Sep 30, 2008 Bottle: Poured a dark brown/black...nose had massive amounts of chocolate, vanilla, coffee, brown sugar as well as the oak/bourbon. In fact, I don’t think anything about this brew is subtle...the mouth feel is medium-full and lingers for a bit. The taste on this is just ridiculous...an explosion of vanilla-oak-bourbon hits immediately giving way to the chocolate and coffee. A very subtle hoppy finish is noted...though ass-bag-pidites would probably say I’m mistaking it for astringency. Whatever, it’s amazing.
