LooseCannon (914), Norfolk, Virginia, USA Sep 9, 2009 11.5oz bottle. Pours black in color with thin brown head which does not last long. Aroma dark chocolate, coffee and roasted malt. Taste strong roasted, coffee and dark chocolate with bitter finish. Ygberg (82), Sweden Sep 9, 2009 Aroma of coffe, lots of coffe, vanilla and a kind of dusty, metalic sent. The appearance is night black with a nice brown head and great lazing. The flavor is coffe, vanilla and tobacco. The beer is also very bitter. Overall an amazing beer with great coffe taste. tunneler (112), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA Sep 6, 2009 Aroma of stale coffee which thankfully didn’t translate into a stale coffee taste. The 10% was well hidden, which I appreciated. Opened up nicely as the glass got warmer and warmer Gypsy19 (603), California, USA Sep 5, 2009 Pours a very dark brown with a nice light brown head. Aroma is indeed full of coffee, but a little bit of anise, licorice, and paint thinner also appear; I like the aroma a lot; It has good fumes for under 10%, though well-balanced. Flavor is a pleasant mix of chocolate, coffee and hearty malt. Very drinkable/guzzleable. Thick, rich, elegant mouthfeel. Overall, excellent. DuffManSW (283), Riverside, California, USA Sep 2, 2009 Bonus bottle from FlssmrBrewAlum..Pours black with a mocha head.. Aroma is obviously coffee with some dark chocolate and a slight sweetness...Flavor is ... big surprise coffee (black), dark chocolate, roasted malts and earth.. Just a tad to thin and over carbonated for me but still a awesome brew. jmm635 (249), Havertown, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 1, 2009 Really sexy thick, black pour. Thin dark brown head. Coffee, coffee, and coffee aromas and a good bit of roastyness. Extremely inviting so far! Intense coffee flavor with some good bitterness on the back of the tongue. Rolls happily along in my mouth. Has a long, flavorful finish. I’m already sad it’s gone. hoppy2beerhere (8), Apollo Beach, Florida, USA does not count Sep 1, 2009 Pitch black pour. The nose is coffee and deep roasted malt. The flavor is coffee and cream with a subtle sourness that mixes well with the alcohol warmth of the finish. Good juice. MOboy (446), Kansas City, Missouri, USA Aug 30, 2009 Black as pitch with a tight, crema colored foam. Roasted coffee, chocolate, alcohol and dried dark fruits make up the aroma while coffee, roasted malts, chocolate, and a slight taste of alcohol. The mouthfeel is full but not cloying and the finish is appetizingly dry. The saving grace of this beer is the coffee addition because otherwise, it would be a mediocre imperial stout.
