Best lacing EVER. Black body with a mocha head and black roasted coffee bean aroma. Pure, unadulterated coffee blended with dense mocha delight and a hint of cherry. An absolutely splendid drink worthy of the gods. mtjoseph (36), Murderapolis, Minnesota, USA
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Sep 9, 2008 Bottle. Jet black pour with a very small frothy head. Aroma FULL of Dark, dark chocolate and heavy, rich, black coffee. Upon tasting I was absolutely delighted that a "stout brewed with coffee" finally delivered! Thick and delicious! Think of oily, cold-press coffee, that isn’t cut with water. There’s just not some coffee hidden in the background, this beer has coffee featured at the forefront, they way it should be. Very happy and impressed. It lived up to the hype, and is one of the best coffee beers I have every had. arminjewell (112), Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jul 9, 2009 Excellent stout, poured black with a thick lacy brown head. Smelled of excellent coffee/espresso with some sweet chocolate/sugar backing it up. Tasted of strong and excellent coffee beans, alcohol is present but adds more than detracts. Very thick and full of flavor, an excellent coffee stout! Savvy1982 (318), Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jun 19, 2009 Bottle. Wow. Pours a thick, viscous, oily black, with a presistent and lacy dark tan head. Big cappuccino aroma, with roasted barley, chocolate, fruit, great! Palate was both intense yet surprisngly drinkable. Huge coffee throughout, with more complexity than I would expect from even the best cup of coffee. Just floored me. Hopper (323), San Antonio, Texas, USA
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Sep 16, 2009 My mouth is a coffee bean roaster. A dark black beer with little to no head. Aroma of roasted, alcohol, & coffee beans. The taste is roasty toasty coffee beans, & bitter. It is like your mouth is a coffee bean roaster. Like tasting coffee without much sugar because in no way is this beer sweet. What I find so good about this beer is not that it tastes like a coffee drink but you can taste the beans in a nice raw sort of way. FlyingTaco (112), Massachusetts, USA

Awesome, thick banana nut bread head. Lacing starts nicely. Huge espresso-roast body. This looks awesome.
Vibrant coffee notes with huge malt and grassy hops - a little BBQ char and some residual sweetness of cinnamon sugar.
Very well-blended roasted malt with strong coffee component. Alcohol is present but lifts overall flavor profile nicely. Very strong bitter coffee with grassy hops - similar to nose. Nice stuff.
Velvety, coaty, warming stuff. Coffee strong on finish. Excellent.
Nicely drinkable for style - still a sipper.
