Dec 19, 2007 This stout is exemplary. Probably one of the most beautiful stouts i have ever witnessed. The blackness is Impenetrably black...like an onyx mirror. The head was like a living Picasso..alive and minimalistically artistic in seductive ways...the darkness was almost metallic, glimmering lace paints the sides of a glass upon a tilt. insane. Nose was like chocolate fog; thick head-explosive chocolate fog with a dose of holiday coffee steam. The flavors start restrictive but refined. melted chocolate an powdery cocoa,adequately sweetened, and with requisite bitterness...Mouthfeel is thick yet wet & slippery...maybe even oily..the end is almost lactic and most certainly sharp ...the thick chocolate flavors grow...and grow, ceasing their restrictiveness...basically, taking over.

Dec 15, 2007 33 cl. Opaque black with a 4 finger head that lasts. Aroma is coffee with cream, charred wood, dry oats, and cocoa. Flavors of espresso with sugar and cream, cocoa, smoky hickory, and green herbs. Medium-heavy body is smoooooth and has a just-right dry finish. Best... stout... ever.

Dec 11, 2007 Fat 12oz bottle pours black with a lasting brown head. Huge coffee aroma on this one. Malted milk balls, some chocolate, and a full blast of cold pressed coffee. Unsubtle but awesome. Taste is not as good as smell, unfortunately. Coffee flavor present but a little thin and one dimensional otherwise. A nice effort and good to try for fans of coffee stouts like myself but not one of the better examples.

Dec 10, 2007 Pours black with a large, dark head. First impression of the aroma is sweet, lactic chocolate, uncannily like chocolate milk. Swirling brings out a bitter espresso which mixes very well with the chocolate. The combination is not unlike lightly toasted baker’s cocoa. That same combination carries over into the flavor, which ends with a decidedly espresso-like bitterness. Very well done.

Dec 9, 2007 Black, with a brown head. Rich. almost decadent aroma of espresso and a hint of dark cocoa. Very rich palate. Flavor is pretty much the same as the aroma, but with a bit more chocolate. This was a nice surprise.

Dec 8, 2007 Pours pitch black wtih a mostly receding tan head. Aroma of coffee, roasted barley and stale coffee. Tastes of brewed coffee, strong burnt roast, earthy, chewy dirt like flavors. Mouthfeel is full to heavy bodied with smooth carbonation. Has some nice qualities, but this is very coffee-centric.
