Jul 13, 2008 Updated: Mar 9, 2009Bottle @ home. Pitch black with a beige head. Great aroma of chocolate, roasted malts/coffee, some hops, and more chocolate. Taste is very rich, with creamy chocolate, burnt coffee and a hoppy finish. Despite the high ABV just little alcohol is noticed. Mouthfeel is oily and syrupy. Very, very good.

Jun 3, 2009 Aroma - Coffee, sweet roasted malts, floral hops, chocolate. Appearance - black with a medium tan head. Flavor - sweet malts, coffee, dark chocolate, very nice bitter hops. Palate - full body, creamy, soft carbonation, long finish, bitter. Overall - Awesome beer that hits the spot. It’s very good but I think I like the oak aged yeti a little better.

Oct 23, 2009 Bottle. Awesome. Wonderful flavors with a great balance of toffee, chocolate and coffee. The color was very opaque black and a nice caramel head.

Oct 12, 2003 Wow! A coffee roast shake! Fruit complements. Nice herbal hop injection -- piney hop bitterness takes over where the bitter roast leaves off. Rich carmels. A bit sticky but not to any detriment. Excellent!

Mar 27, 2004 Uh, wooooo. Deep viscous black with a beautiful blood red head. Rich nose, chocolate and loads of malts, lots of molasses and plums. Very good flavor, strong and very vinous. Huge roasted malts, lots of chocolate, a pleasing hint of bitterness at the end. Full and creamy, yet very quaffable. Quite spectacular.

Oct 3, 2003 very black color if there is such a thing black is black right.There was a nice small head that was a creamy dark brown that lasted a very long time.malty hoppy aroma with a mild hint of chocolate and coffee maybe mildly sweet with a mild sour side,and light caramel.The flavor is very malty with a very,very,nice hop presence and chocolate or cocoa mildly sweet at first then a nice dark chocolate flavor comes through,maybe a light coffe taste as well.The after taste is malty,hops and mildly bitter,this is a fantastic brew,damn what a great trade this worked out to be.Thanks go out to Raindog for this brew,sorry the brews never made it to the weekend but hey it was well worth the enoremous buzz i have right now. Your the man when it comes to fine brews.

Black color; the head reduces quickly, but leaving a nice lace. The aroma is a wonderful mix of hops and roasted malt, dark chocolate. Dense flavor, fat roasted malt (and caramel, malt) flavor, some cardboard, maybe glue, alcohol feeling; in the end offering notes of cookies, coffee, strong liquorice; powerful body. Prepotent bitterness, in a long final, with a lot of roasted malt. Huge.

Blackest color; dark brown thick head. Strong aroma: malt, roasted malt, light liquorice. Good structure, not too thick, not too oily; extreme roasted malt character, with coffee, liquorice; very strong hopping with hidden aromas.
Chewy coffee; extremely balanced. Give me more!
