| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 14/20 | May 20, 2008 Che quando la versi sembra un tazzone di caffè; complessa, appiccicosa e amara. Vale la pena. Bottiglia da 37.5cl comprata da ciobì. uhclem (189), Loveland, Colorado, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | May 17, 2008 Pours a deep black with a nice mocha head that subsides fairly rapidly. Good lacing. Nose is malt, coffee and chocolate. These are reprised in the taste. Chocolate is bitter; a nice touch.Outstanding mouthfeel - full-bodied but not syrupy. It massages the tongue and palate. Aftertaste lingers, accentuating the hops. Well done. mrw1zard (54), Birmingham, Alabama, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 14, 2008 Pours a nice dark brown/black with a tan head. Let this one warm up a bit before making your final judgement. Nice flavor or coffee and chocolate malts. Not much of an alcohol aftertaste. I want more. gfolivares (67), McAllen, Texas, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | May 14, 2008 Pours an opaque, ink-like black with a thick light tan head. Incredibly complex and aeromatic with hints of burnt caramel, roasted coffee, anise, and cacao liquer. Full bodied with a thick, oily mouthfeel. Equally complex taste, with a rich, roasted malt sweetness suggestive of rich brownie batter and toffee, which gives way to a massive, uncompromising, sasquach-sized hop flavor with hints of bitter chocolate, strong unsweetened black expresso, black licorice, and rum-soaked raisins. Warm, lingering finish with notes of coffee liquer, vanilla bean, burnt brown sugar over crem brule, and tart, bitter semi-sweet dark chocolate covered coffe beans. Try with a rich chocolate desert, banana fosters, or tiramisu. Enjoyit (1706), Vadum, Denmark
