Aug 11, 2009 Tap at Blind Tiger. Poured a deep rich black with a thin beige head. Big coffee and chocolate nose. Mouthful was slightly on the thin side for the style, but flavor was rich and complex with great chocolate and coffee notes, and a firm bitter finish.

Aug 5, 2009 Notes from Seattle International Beer Festival. Obviously smells strongly of coffee and chocolate. Not sure how "espresso" is included, but it certainly has enough coffee to provide an espresso-like jolt. Dark, black even, with a slightly sweet finish.

Jul 28, 2009 This poured a nice opaque black with a big tan head. Aroma was really roasted, coffee notes as well. Flavor was was really dark and roasted, but not overdone, rather smooth hints of chocolate. This one has a great balance of coffee and sweetness.
