Nose is coffee and chocolate. Tiny tan head that laces the glass wonderfully. The taste - the fucking TASTE! Its everywhere! Its coffee, its chocolate, its roasted, its bitter and its smooth. A nice milky texture on your palate. This is one to take slowly and admire every last drop. Jesus Christ... watson1977 (265), , Pennsylvania, USA

Totally toasted coffee grounds and chocolate aromas make their way for a light raspberry fruitiness which was absolutly astouning. I had Attributed these aromas and flavors aas contamonant by outsiders who had also tasted this beer; but these were deemed irrelevant. Wow was a beer. Complex and evolving with immense character and expression. Great mouthfeel and entire palate experience. Very nice indeed which runs the gamut of flavor. RedXIII (127), Powell, Ohio, USA

It has perfect color and thickness with a huge roasted coffee and dark chocolate aroma/flavor, all while being not too sweet, and not too bitter. Creamy and soft on the palate with a full body. The mouthfeel is unbelievably smooth. This stuff is phenomenal. nefarious (203), Clarkston, Michigan, USA
