Black colour with low head. Green peppery coffee aroma with a fair deal of sweetness. Bit too much of pepper in my personal opinion. Flavour is different, here is much more balance, with chocolate and a fair share of sweetness. Lots of flavouring and bitter hops I belive, which is a good thing here. Slight peppery in flavour, just on the right level for my personal likings. Low-medium, but noticable, biterness with long flavour. I like good coffee alright. This was not very tasty. ratman197 (3273), Arvada, Colorado, USA

| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jul 18, 2006 My 1100th rating! Bottle shared with HogTownHarry, GregClow, jerc & tupalev -- my bottle courtesy of hopdog. Bottled August ’05. I’ve been saving this bottle for one of my milestones for a while now and I’ve really been looking forward to it! It did not dissapoint. Pours pitch black with an average size diminishing creamy tan head. Awesome aroma with tons of coffee, dark malt, toffee, bourbon, chocolate, hops and more -- man that smells good! Sweet delicious flavour of predominently coffee followed by roasted malt, cocoa and hops. Alcohol is extremely well hidden. Medium bodied, dry & creamy mouthfeel. This was so effin’ good that I can’t wait to someday try this on tap, damn Dieu Du Ciel! makes good beer. BeerandBlues2 (3237), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA
