Dec 21, 2008 11.5 oz bottle. Winter Storm Blast 2008, being snowbound and stuck at home leads me to a cellar stash break in to see what is calling my name.
Nicely complex brew pours out and leaves large small bubble head. Thick with a strong coffee flavor and sticky chocolate and dark fruit. Nice alcohol that blends so nicely into the beer leaving a warmth and resonance in your mouth.
If you like coffee, no make that GOOD coffee, this is a beer for you.

Dec 19, 2008 Bottle. Pours a deep blackish brown color, with a lingering espresso foam colored head. Flavor is, well, lets break down everything I taste in here. Fresh black coffee, chocolate malt, dark chocolate, black licorice, a hint of smoke, ripe fruits, a hint of earthy wood barrel. Full bodied, sticky and chewy on the palate. The more this warms up the more flavor comes out. Ends on a dry note. Damn, as a good coffee lover, this is delicious.

Dec 18, 2008 Tasted 11/1/08. 12oz bottle. Pitch hue with two fingers of beige head, Chocolate and fruity aromas. Notes of cocoa and toffee with a touch Belgian yeast character. Spicy anise. Very complex and layered aromas. Full bodied with a big palate. Whole lot going on. Initial chocolate maly flavor that turns into red berry fruit, then dried fruits. Finishes with a woody warming alcohol note. Sticky palate. Flavors of coffee and dark chocolate with a decent alcohol note. Touch smokey. Mildly cloying, but that just fits the palate. Trace hop profile. Somewhere a slight plum note crosses the tongue. Big and smooth and warming. The coffee note really permeates as it warms. Biggest coffee stout I have ever had, but not quite the biggest imperial stout. This is one to share.

Dec 18, 2008 Absolutely one of the best beers I have tried, and stout is not one of my favorite style. This is a deep red/black beer with a deep tan head. Beautiful!
Aroma of coffee, more similar to Starbucks than Dunkin Donuts. Taste is coffee, coffee, coffee. I rarely drink the same beer twice, but I want to savor another bottle of this beer!
