Oct 10, 2009 Bottle. I’m new to this style, so my rating might be scewed. Pours pure black. Tastes of roasted malts and hints of chocolate with a hint of the coffee. Very easy to drink, very smooth and no hint of the alc.%. It still didn’t wow me though, but i’m a hop head going through an adjustment here to a new style.

Oct 10, 2009 Draft. Pours deep amber/black with a thick, biege head. Dense aroma of coffee, spice, chocolate, malt, and pepper. Heavy body with a bold, creamy finish. Great stout.

Oct 6, 2009 One of my favorite if not my favorite. I tried this right after a KBS and I have to say while amazing and a bit more complex I prefer this to KBS. The oatmeal comes through so much better and makes for a thinner more pleasing mouthfeel IMO. If I could get my hands on this easily, I’d be drinking it everyday.

Oct 4, 2009 Bottle courtesy of DA from Fever. Thanks! Pours jet black with a tan head. Smells of coffee, chocolate. Definite coffee. Tastes of coffee too. Doesn’t even taste like beer....tastes like iced coffee. Bitter, but a perfect balance of bitterness and subtle sweetness. One of the best I’ve had.

Oct 4, 2009 This is a battle between coffee and chocolate. But I like it. And at only 8.3% alcohol it doesn’t knock you down. A little carbonation helps balance the brew.

Oct 4, 2009 Enjoyed from a 12oz bottle in a pub glass. The beer pours an opaque black with a small medium brown head. The nose brings notes of coffee, unflavored oatmeal, burnt sugar, and a little bit of espresso. The palate is smooth and nicely full, thoroughly helped by a low but perceptible level of carbonation. The beer shows coffee/espresso up front, flowing into some roasted malt notes, an assertive level of bitterness, and the smooth texture lent to beers by the addition of oat flakes. I really like the idea of adding oats, as it mitigates the other notes, and helps to mask alcohol, of which there is just barely a trace in this example. The finish is long, a bit bitter, and roasty. Very well done.
