12 oz. pours pitch with cocoa head. aroma is bitter sweet chocolate and a hint of coffee. mouthful is rich with big chocolate up front, the finish is sweet and yummy. very nice:)

Bottle pours a tan head with a dark brown body. Smells of coffee and chocolate. Flavor is the same. Good weight in the mouth. Smooth finish. Strong flavors.

2008 Consumed in 2009 Aroma is loads of coffee, chocolate, Taste is lots of rich chocolate, coffee, and sweet dark malt, bright fruit, and bitter hops. Molasses colored head. Nice retention. Finish is slightly cloying, a bit bitter, and full. Wow, awesome. 2007 batch consumed next to 2008 in 2009 A bit more dirty in the aroma. Floral bright fruit and cheap coffee and chocolate. Chocolate, coffee, a bit more dirt in the taste. Good, but the fresher one was better.

like pouring brown ink. smell both chocolate and espresso very defined. cinnamon. smoke. the taste is dark sugar, herbal, dried cherry, and alcohol. body is flat and slimey. late finish.

I took a sip of this beer and I woke up. I could definitely taste the coffee. Definitely not a beer I’d drink more than one pint of in a sitting, but I’d be more than willing to get one again.

notes from turkey day 2008 served @ room temp agressive pour leaves 1/2" tan head and a body that is pitch black.. smell is coffee coffee coffee like jaun valdez and his mule popped out of the bottle and said "Buenos dias" - beyond the coffee is some nice chocolate and raosted malts. taste is even better then the smell bitter chocolate with lots of coffee and a nice earthy hop bite finish. mouthfeel is thick and creamy but not too much that you feel you have to use your molars to chew it down. overall this is one of the best stouts i have had. this stout is best when fresh say 1month after bottling. after that the coffee fades and takes it out of that mind blowing beer level.
