Dec 19, 2009 Pours black with a fluffy tan head. The aroma is amazing, strong with fresh ground coffee and roasted malts. Tastes like coffee, cream, and dark chocolate. Mildly carbonated, heavy body, and silky mouthfeel. Finish is slightly bitter. This is a world class stout for sure, one of my absolute favorites.

Dec 19, 2009 Pours deep black like the joe I had this morning from the Moka. Nice robust, frothy tan head giving a strong coffee aroma. Very rich flavor - cocoa, dark chocolate, coffee - mocha like.

Dec 16, 2009 12 oz. bottle. Pours a jet black with small brown head. Rich aroma of chocolate, milk, and coffee. Flavor is of rich malty coffee. I got more chocolate in the aroma, coffee in the flavor. Lightly carbonated and syrupy. This is definitely richly flavorful, and good for sipping. At this consistency I’m actually surprised there’ not more booze in it, not that that affects my judgment of it. Excellent.

Dec 13, 2009 Bottle - It’s a beautiful beer, pouring dark as night with a massive tan head. I’ve always loved the way this beer smells -- a blast of coffee, cinnamon, a touch of milk and chocolate -- just pure decadence. Taste is real roasty, dark malt with bitter chocolate. The coffee isn’t as intense in the taste, as the cinnamon and chocolate take more center stage. The finish is a bit too bitter and burnt, but it’s still really tasty. It’s smooth, chewy, and slick. There just isn’t too much not to like about this beer. One of my all-time faves.

Dec 9, 2009 A beautiful beer. Very dark with a mocha colored head that lasts forever. The nose is all roasted malt and espresso. The flavors are incredibly layered, roast malt, coffee, dark fruits. It’s hard to imagine so much flavor that well balanced. Finish is dry and then a kind of time-release effect: a few seconds after you drink, there’s a burst of rich roastiness. Wow, why didn’t I buy more of this?
