Jun 9, 2008 Bottle courtesy of HogtownHarry, thanks a lot for this one Harry! Dark, black liquid poured from the 12 oz bottle, and left a frothy, creamy, mocha head that lasted. In the nose, I got freshly brewed black coffee, rich dark chocolate, some vanilla, with a touch of wood smoke and hops. The flavour profile was quite enjoyable to me, as I love coffee. Fresh dark roast with loads of bittering hops, vanilla, dry, bitter dark chocolate, some smoke. Bitter with long lived coffee aftertaste. Creamy, and very drinkable considering the ABV. Quite a treat. Thank you Harry! :)

Jun 8, 2008 12 oz. Expensive @ 4.99 I think. Pours black and opaque with a creamy tan head - this one just looks good in the glass. Aroma features coffee, chocolate, molasses, lots of roasty notes and more coffee. Flavor again shows off the coffee, roasty, sweet maltiness with a nice balancing tanginess on the tongue, earth and bitter chocolate. Full, creamy mouthfeel - very smooth.

Jun 8, 2008 Flaske. Minder mig om min allerførste rating. Kold kaffe, men på en yderst delikat måde. Mundfylden er ikke tyk og olieret men er alligevel ikke tynd på en dårlig måde. Alt i alt en fantastisk øl. Tt på et mesterværk.

Jun 8, 2008 Bottle@Home, #4000. Sweet esprresso with chocolate aroma. Black color, large thick brown head, very nice lace. Sweet, bitter, very roasted, grined coffee beans, some black chocolate. Medium body, light dusty. Very flavorful, powerful, very coffee!

Jun 7, 2008 Yep, this is coffee beer alright. Deep dark pour with bubbly dark tan head. Hit the spot when I was fading last night. Best word to describe it is bitter. Bitter in a good way. Coffee grounds and intense dark chocolate on the nose and on the palate. Somehow still a bit sweet, hitting more on the back of the palate. Almost a burnt brown sugar/syrup aftertaste. A little good must, too.

Jun 7, 2008 Black color, with a huge beige head. It has a delicate coffee aroma, still quite simple. I’m not overy impressed by the flavor, but I have to acknowledge a few qualities, among which the nice espresso flavor, with an original touch (dry liquorice and light spices); it has a good body structure. The final has still a quite intense power, with a pervasive dry roasted malt, that this time I like. Undoubtly good,

Jun 6, 2008 Opaque black pour. Not much head to it, but there is some dark tan foam. Lots of coffee on the nose. It reminds of 7-11. A strong coffee aroma, with some unidentifiable funk on top. Sweet coffee flavor with lots of alcohol. Not much going on here, just a strong coffee stout. I was a bit disappointed by this one.

Jun 6, 2008 Bottle I’ve been waiting for this forquite some time, so there is a fair it of anticipaion built up behind this rating. The 11.5 oz. bottle unleashes a dark black liquid and a massive head. I’m sitting with pint glass and I woul guess that only half of the bottle is in the glass right now. Aromas are dark and roasty with big coffee presence and a touch of must. Flavor is almost like coffee with whisky and chocolate added. Bitter coffee ground aftertaste and a nice creamy texture. Very, very nice.
