Jan 30, 2009 courtesy of Allen - pitch black colour without head; pure and intense aroma of coffee beans with notes of sage and basil; roasted; thick and oily, low carbonation, solid bitterness; very long roasted coffeish aftertaste with more undefined herbal notes - powerful and quite complex: a beautiful beer

Nov 22, 2004 strong espresso aroma, black with a reddish brown head, awesome full body with dominating dry espresso flavors, richer than scrooge mcduck with hints of currants, absolute decadence, didn’t lose too much from the tap version to the bottled version either

Dec 30, 2009 Bottle from Archer Liquors. Pours blacky brown with a multi-finger dark tan head. Aroma is coffee, chocolate and really toasted malt. Full bodied with mild carbonation. Flavor is coffee, smooth burnt malt, and chocolate. Per the label, I think this could be eaten with a spoon. If I had another bottle, I’d have oatmeal for breakfast and pour this over it. Great f***ing beer.

Feb 28, 2005 This was a very good beer but a little too coffee-like for me. Regardless, it was well worth trying and a great choice for all those stout drinkers.

Feb 19, 2005 If stouts were my thing, I’d be rolling around like a pig in slop with this one . . . over the top in its own stouty way, ridiculous amounts of coffee character in here. Pours thick, goes down thick, smells boggy murky thick, sounds thick, the full 5-senses thick. A real punisher in the appearance: just get a bunch of chunky-looking suds to sneer at the wary. There must be just a hateful level of carbs in here. Alcohol presence obvious but well-overwhelmed by all the other shit. Kudos to Founders for pushing the limits of the remotely reasonable; on another corner of the beer spectrum is its trillion-IBU Devil Dancer. If you fall head over heals for stout, put this in strong 9/10 territory. For those hop-junkies shivering, naked, over in that grimy, piss-stained corner, it’s an 8.5.
