| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | May 26, 2008 On tap @ Dominion brewpub - May 2008 Poured black as night. Some medium to strong coffee aromas. Surprisingly thin body and flavor - very watery and very mild. Some hints of coffee and chocolate malts, but so water it was tough to pick out.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | May 16, 2008 Sampler off the brewery taps 05/10/2008. Very dark almost back with small creamy head. Coffee dominates aroma with roast and chocolate malts.
Nice coffee flavor with the support of roast and chocolate malts. A small amount of fruity yeast flavors with enough hop bitterness to support. Fairly dry finish and light mouthfeel. gotohelunc (473), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 13, 2008 Draft at the brewpub. I’m rarely a fan of nitrogen dispensed beers, but this could be my favorite beer done this way. Dark brown color, big creamy white head, cascading carbonation like a Guiness. Massive coffee aroma dominated the nose. Roasted espresso flavors mix with some nice sweet malts and a touch of chocolate. Has a bit more carbonated mouthfeel than you’ll often get from nitrogen, which was a pleasant surprise. Really smooth, nice finish, and over all a hell of a good beer. maniac (2628), Richmond, Virginia, USA

Dark black body with ruby highlights and a medium creamy off-white head. Big coffee aroma with roasted malt and caramel. Strong coffee and light roast flavor, some faint caramel. Medium light body with fairly low carbonation.
