huge coffee aroma and flavor, lots of coffee bitterness, a bit ashy, over the top, but still tasty, the rinse water produces a beautiful copper hue

May 19, 2005 Updated: Jun 19, 2005Murky very dark brown. Very coffeeish aroma, like cold-ass Tim Horton’s. Blech. You go into a good coffee bean shop, something like Casa Acoreana in Kensington Market. You smell the beans, it’s wonderful. Nothing at all like this beer. Massive coffee flavour, very green and vegetal. Hint of chocolate. Big and thick, but simple. The coffee bludgeons everything with its vegetal harshness. Probably the most overrated beer I’ve ever had.

Feb 14, 2005 Black beer; thin creamy brown layer. Very nice coffeish aroma. Good coffee beer, with an expected malty sourness, good malt. Very good! Thanks Mads Berg for sharing this bottle.

Feb 24, 2008 [Courtesy of Storm, session @ yespr] Black with medium brown head. Burned malt in the aroma with coffee and liquerice. Same goes for the very burned malty flavor.

Feb 6, 2005 Motor oil black body, small borwn head. Aroma is medium sweet, coffee, roasty, coffee, coffee. Taste is mild sweet, very coffee. Smooth, medium-full body. I like but I do not love -- then again, I am not a coffee lover. Thanks jeffc666.

Nov 14, 2005 Bottle at London Gathering Nov 05. Black beer with thin lasting beige head. Lots of coffee and bitter chocolate. Really like the coffee on this, although most of the others at the gathering thought that the coffee was a bit too strong. However, for someone who drinks espresso all day at work, this beer was a real joy. Could have easily had the bottle to myself

Pitch black, huge brown creamy-cloudy head, lots of lace. Dark roasted malty aroma with tobacco and some chocolate. Full-bodied - heavy, coffee and pipe tobacco overdose. Tarry finish. Soft palate. Some hops in the aftertaste. This is not a beer for fast drinkers!

Aug 3, 2007 Thank you Yngwie for sharing this marvellous stout, it’s been very high on my wish list!! It’s pitch black with a dark brown and creamy head. The aroma is COFFEE, roasted malt and hints of smoke. The mouthfeel is oily and the beer clings to the glass - yummiiii... The flavour has notes of bitter, roasted coffee, a very light chocolate sweetness and light, smooth oats. It’s a beer that I wish would go on for ever..... 2448
