May 30, 2005 Updated: May 31, 2005Bottle: Black, dark brown hues, medium beige head, spotty lacing. Roasty nose, slight vanilla and bourbon as well. A bit of alcohol as well. Forwardly roasted malt on the tongue, strong oats as well. Enjoyable body and mouthfeel, fairly big. Slight apple skin accompanies the roasted malt finnish. The bourbon/vanilla has seemed to escape at this point. Simple, yet fairly nice.

Mar 17, 2005 Looks nice, black as coal with toffee, coffee and alcohol on the nose. Bitter coffee flavor, too alcoholic, or at least they could have masked it better.

Jan 17, 2005 Updated: Jan 23, 2005BLACK BLACK BLACK JACK is what this beer should have been called. One of the blackest beers I have ever had. Not to mention one of the smoothest I have tasted as well. This is a great stout and could be offered to anyone, even if they dont like black beer. They should enjoy, but if you are reading this you will enjoy

Dec 17, 2004 A fantastic coffee stout. Rich roasted mixture of mocha, barley, and of course coffee. Deep black color which light doesn’t penetrate. The espresso of beers. Fantastic.

Dec 17, 2004 Rich, dark, can barely see the maglight from the other side of the tasting glass (on tap at RFD tasting). No lacing. Smells like toast, roasted barley. Awesome flavor, very smooth, dominant roasted flavor. Excellent imperial (though only 7.6% abv).

Nov 30, 2004 Updated: Jul 30, 2007Sampled @ RB Gathering, thanks Scraff. Really, really black color with a decent sized (for a growler pour) head. Aroma of beautiful roasted espresso. The body is creamy smooth with full flavors of dark, bitter chocolate and creamy, sweet coffee. What an awesome beer. I could easily drink a growler of this myself.
