Very dark in color, not much head. A little lacing. Good aroma of coffee and some anise. Taste has some bitter roasted coffee and dark chocolate. Better room temp.

12 ounce bottle from Beer Run in Charlottesville, VA. Pours very dark ruby red with a medium tan head. Good head retention and lacing. Aroma is roasted malts, chocolate and mild hops. Taste is thin and bitter. Roasted malts, coffee, chocolate. Thin bodied,

Moderate robust malt aroma. Black color with a medium dark tan head. Light sweet late in the beginning with a mild bitter finish. Light palate.

Pours a dark brown, sits black. Two finger creamy light tan head. The nose is buttery/diacetyl, some roast, sweetness. The flavor shows some coffee, astringent grain bitterness, pretzel bread taste, roast, some diacetyl, not too awesome. Palate is sharp, astringency that I’m not digging.

This dark brown ale poured with a massive tan head and a coffee aroma. There is a rich chocolate malt flavor, but the flavor is thin and the palate is light. Overall, not bad but not remarkable.

bottle poured a dark cola color with a one finger light brown head. aroma has dark roasted malt, light sweetness, coffee, and a touch of dark chocolate. mouth feel is surprisingly thin and the carbonation is high. flavor has some roasted malt, coffee, and light bitterness. all teh right flavors are here but it comes off somewhat thin.

Bottle from Bottle Barn. Pours dark brown with a big tan head. Aromas of coffee and toasted malt. Near medium body with moderate carbonation. Flavor is mostly coffee, but I swear there is some celery. Seems to be a touch of citrus. Finishes with sharpish flavor. A little off style to my test.

Bottle: Taste like coffee. A little watery. A good drinking beer, an ok porter.
