Apr 26, 2009 22oz bottle pours deep black and very opaque. Deep coffee, wood, earth, and chocolate in the aroma. Smooth body with lught cabonation. Bitter coffee, sweet cream, and chocolate fill the flavor. Slightly dry at the end. Bitterness lingers. Easily drinkable for >9% Very nicely done. One bottle will be kept for a while to see what happens.

Apr 26, 2009 Bottle at the ’09 Fish Fry. Pours black with small tan head. The aroma is espresso, some chocolate, a bit of ash, and not much else. The flavor is lots of espresso, with some chocolate, vanilla, oak, and nuts. The finish is roasty coffee. Very heavy on the espresso in this beer, but, fortunately, I like espresso, so I found it quite tasty.

Apr 26, 2009 Popped a bottle of this at DLD ’09. Really delicious beer. Very coffee-forward (not a bad thing) and so dark, yet still so very smooth.

Apr 25, 2009 Updated: Jun 14, 2009Bottle from Malt & Vine. Pours thick jet black with a very nice bubbly brown head. Nice roasty aroma with the coffee present. Incredibly smooth with strong vanilla and milder coffee and caramel lingering on the tongue. Can also pick up hints of the oak as well. Fantastic beer.

Apr 25, 2009 Bottle. Pours a rich, dark brown with a thin tan head. Aroma is strong with espresso and chocolatey roasted malts. Hints of vanilla also stand out. The flavor was really about the same. The finish was dry and bitter. This was an awesome beer. Great to drink in the morning to start a long day of drinking.
