Loads of roasted and coffee notes from this one. coffee predominates with some malty sweetness and a mild bitter aftertaste. really chewy full palate. A monster of a beer. rwaters (27), Anchorage, Alaska, USA

| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jun 3, 2009 Aroma - Wow, smells like fresh coffee grinds, roasted malt, and hint of vanilla. Appearance - black as midnight with a thin tan head which has good retention. Flavor - light sweetness, lightly bitter like dark chocolate, and most of all it taste like black coffee w/ 1/2 of a sugar and a vanilla finish. Palate - medium body, creamy, flat, very long finish. Overall - If you like black coffee, you’ll love this beer. It’s awesome, expensive... but awesome. grandgenie (252), gatineau, Quebec, Canada
| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Jan 16, 2009 Updated: Jan 17, 2009Premier embouteillage au Québec en Septembre 2007. Dégusté dans un verre tulipe de dieu du ciel. Évidemment à une température de cellier. D’une apparence brune profonde tirant sur le noir avec une faible carbonation, de léger dépôt et une belle mousse brune. Une senteur de café espresso, de vanille légèrement torréfié et de chocolat au lait. Je dirais plus précisément qu’elle dévoilent une senteur de caramel et de vanille française avec un soupçon de mélasse. Un goût bien gazéfier avec une bonne amertume, une rondeur en bouche et sur les gencives. Du chocolat, du café, un peu de caramel et surtout de la qualité. Cette bière offre aussi un vieillissement exceptionnel car j’ai eu la chance de dégusté celle-çi au 10e de dieu du ciel âgé de 2001 et 2002. Encore meilleure me demanderai vous! hors du commun, je suis resté bouche bée! Mais encore une fois des moments comme ceux-çi sont difficillement possible dans exprimer et dans communiquer une notes.

| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Sep 23, 2009 Trade bottle from ygtbsm94. Been anxious to open this one for quite some time now. Poured a dark black color with nice head. Aroma and taste of fresh ground coffee, big roasted malts, chocolate and espresso. Medium to full carbonation. As the commercial description states, the brewer blended cofee and a stout seemlessly. Awesome stuff, thanks Brad! hellomisterp (38), Pennsylvania, USA
| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 19/20 | Dec 13, 2009 12oz bottle. huge coffee aroma to start. A creamy nutty taste with coffee hanging around the whole time. The carbonation comes through very well and ends with a nice bitterness. The ABV can not be found. I really wish it was lower, so i could enjoy this quality stout all night long. This is a must try. My highest rated beer to date.
