Oct 30, 2007 On tap at the Great Lakes Brew Fest. Pours black with a beige head. Lots of coffee in the aroma. Reminds me of Bunn coffee pot of coffee. Roasted, burnt, nice. Coffee in the flavor with roasted, toasted, and nutty malts. Creamy palate. Burnt finish. Thanks to the guy pouring, I drank a lot of full pours of this fine brew.

Jun 14, 2008 12oz bottle courtesy polomagnifico. Pours black with a thick tan head. Big silky oatmeal coffee aroma that is just beautiful. Chocolate, coffee, oatmeal, silky smooth with a slight bitterness. Really a nicely balanced stout that combines some great flavors of coffee and chocolate. An awesome stout.

Aug 30, 2009 Big thanks to drowland for this one. Pitch black pour with a nice tan head that rests on top of it. Gorgeous warm chocolate aroma. Some amount of roasted coffee ground also. Very nice aroma. Wow wonderful taste. Chocolate with soft coffee taste. Starbucks would be envious! Smooth mouthfeel with a roasted aftertaste that provides the right balance to the taste. I love this!

Jan 30, 2005 Sample at Extreme beer fest. Coffee grounds. Compost pile scent. Clean Black as night color. Bitter flavors, again coffee rules the day, molasses too. Full body, creamy mouthfeel, bitter dry finish. The compost aroma was a turn off, but maybe its just me.

Jan 13, 2006 Updated: Apr 9, 2006Thanks to Ron Bush for this gem. Pours a pitch black color with a small brownish beige head lacing. Aroma is FRESH coffee beans and a hint of dark rich chocolate. Flavor is a coffee lover’s delight. Fresh roasted coffee taste with dark rich chocolate flavor. Leaves a coffee aftertaste along with malt and chocolate. Doesnt get much better than this.

Apr 5, 2007 Courtesy boboski. Strangely silent pour. Black. Small, light brown layer of foam. Nose of roasted coffee beans, burnt malt, bittersweet dark chocolate. Similar flavor, more intense, adds fresh oats. Bitter, roasted finish. Finish and aftertaste are rather short lived. Wonderful palate on this one- medium/full body, foamy yet creamy, very drinkable. Would be an excellent breakfast beer, well named. Great stout.
