Oct 25, 2009
Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured thick, black and oily with a large dark brown head that lingered. The aroma was full with sharp floral hops, loads of cocoa and moderate vanilla, malted mild and toasty malts. The flavor was very malty and toasty with strong notes of malted milk, vanilla and cocoa and touches of port wine and cherry. The finish was long and toasty with floral hops, port wine, cocoa and vanilla touches lingering. The body was thick and full. Some alcohol shows through on the flavor but the richness of the brew offsets this pretty well. Excellent.

Dec 5, 2009 Reviewed 9/12/2009 (bottle):
Pours an extremely dark brown color body, with a small tan brown head, diminishing. Strong aroma of coffee, espresso. All I get is the coffee. Very carbonated, strong coffee taste, biting. Might be the alcohol. Alcoholy aftertaste for sure. Roasted taste. A little too strong coffee and not much else for my liking.

Dec 5, 2009 Bottle. The color was completely black, the head was brown and looked very creamy. The wonderful aroma was dominated by coffee there was also some chocolate, roasted malt tones and even a touch of vanilla.
A huge dose of coffee in the taste but also some chocolate and roasted malt, as in the aroma. The beer was really nicely balanced. Full-bodied, a little greasy feeling at the liquid and a long and pleasant aftertaste. Very nice!

Dec 4, 2009 Deeeep black colour, thin brown head and a thick lacing on the glass.
Aroma is full of coffee, coffee, ashes, tar almost like an ash tray, but in a good way. Flavour is also dominated by coffee, is extremely unbalanced and acidic so much so that it makes it fantasticly interesting and also demanding. Mouthfeel is smooth, just smooth. One word Ashes!

Dec 3, 2009 Pours the darkest brown color possible with a massive brown head. Aroma is a blend of espresso and dark chocolate. Taste is the same, starting with the bitter coffee flavor, blended with a bit of vanilla, but finishing with a dark, hershey bar flavor.

Dec 3, 2009 A spectacular blend of espresso and an excellent stout. Strong coffee aroma... it almost sends an alarm where you think they may have overdone it. But drinking it clears any doubts; the balance is perfect. Mighty dark and complex appearance. Has nice feel to it, with the perfect level of thickness and carbonation to go with the rest of the beer. Very impressive.

Nov 29, 2009 Bottle. Strong coffee aroma. Big tan head that diminishes slowly. Black and almost opaque. I have never seen a beer this dark. Taste is sweet and very alcoholic, with huge coffee flavour. Mouthfeel is about right. I like this beer, I just didn’t dig the coffee taste.

Nov 28, 2009 341ml bottle bought from the local dep. It pours a deep black with a thin head. The nose is a chocolate/coffee which is not unpleasent. The taste is medium bitterness with a malt chocolate after taste. The mouth feel is oily with soft carbonation and a long finish. Over all a nice beer, but not something i would drink on a regular basis.
