Sep 26, 2008 Bottle. I absolutely loved this beer. Poured an obsidian black with a one finger brown head that lingered for the entirety of the beer, and produced a huge amount of lacing. Aroma of was of coffee....and lots of it. Also present were hints of roasted malt and bitter chocolate. Flavor was intense coffee with a dry chocolate aftertaste. Body was slightly too thin to be rated a "5", but overall, one of the best impys I’ve had. If you don’t like coffee, this beer isn’t for you.

Sep 25, 2008 Updated: Jan 26, 2009Rerate. bottle, 2008. Appearance: black; THICK light tan cheesy head. Huge roasted coffee bean aroma; very dry roasty. Flavor - bitter roasted coffee bean; ’burnt’ dark chocolate. Extremely drinkable, medium bodied, impossibly long roasty bitter finish, almost acidic in its roast. It seems I had this severely underrated when I last had this at the brewpub.
On tap at DDC brewpub. Served almost warm in tulip. Black w/ creamy head. Concentrated coffee bean aroma. Creamy, acidic, some roasty bitter. Very good, very well made. Original score: 8 4 8 4 15 3.9

Sep 24, 2008 Bottle. Excellent coffee character. Slightly carbonated but goes down smooth. If you love coffee, this is a great choice.

Sep 24, 2008 Bottled sample via (and shared with) oakbluff. Jet black in colour with moderate carbonation. Aromas of roasted malts, caramel, vanilla, mild coffee, and earthy hops. Flavors are well balanced between dark roasted coffee, sweet vanilla chocolates, and earthy+grassy hops. Medium bodied for an imperial stout. Not really a blockbuster, but quite solid.

Sep 23, 2008 Updated: Sep 25, 2008Bottle @ Plan B, Copenhagen. Ooozed from the bottle black and tan. I didn’t get the huge coffee blast I expected, more like a mocha latte, but that’s not taking anything away this is still a great beer! Lots of roasted malt and bitter chocolate with coffee notes of course. Great body and a nice dry finish. Maybe my habit of drinking coffee without sugar has come back to bite me.

Sep 21, 2008 Beautiful black color. Awesome coffee, fine tobacco and fruity bubble gum aroma, with hints of spice and red pepper. The flavor is smoooooth coffee, probably expresso, with a complimentary amount of malty vanilla sweetness. I just loved it, and am giving the first 10 I have ever given for flavor. I must put up a couple of these for special occasions.

Sep 20, 2008 Bottle at Volo. I am SO glad to see this beer finally available in Toronto! Kudos goes to Ralph’s son who informed me of the Peche Mortel after I was sadly informed that they were out of Oak Aged Yeti.
This is a treat! Coffee. And I mean a LOT of coffee - and this is good coffee my friends. Thick black heavenly liquid swimming in chocolate, roasted malt, caramel and loads of coffee. If you are a fan of the latter, you must try this!
