Dec 13, 2009 On cask at the Iron Hill Newark "Cask & Ye Shall Receive"-Black, cola like pour w/a slight off white head. Coffee aroma. Strong coffee flavor w/traces of chocolate, molassis, & woodsy overtones, probably a result of the cask style. Coffee is just overpowering in this one, don’t drink if you;re not a coffee drinker; fortunately, I am! Good after dinner brew, would be great w/a sweet desert, nice bitterness to balance it out. Strong, full, bitter coffee finish.

Dec 13, 2009 On cask at the Iron Hill "Cask & Ye Shall Receive" fest. Man, this was one of the best ones I had, and it’s up there with the best of the dark imperial coffees around - think Peche Mortel-like. The pour was deep dark brown-black, decent little head, the aroma was oodles of coffee, roast, and coffee. The flavor was big coffee, including a malty sweetness and a light roasty bitterness. Nuances of nuts, roast, vanilla underneath, but again, think coffee: no idea how other previous raters below thought it was underplayed? This thing kicked the butt of Southern Tier’s Jahva, and this was right there with DdC. Great job, IH Lancaster again. Body was big, oily to creamy, somewhat like a Hershey’s choco-syrup.

Nov 22, 2009 Cask at IH Lancaster. Dark body with a thin tan, creamy head. Fresh coffee aroma, flavor is filled with real coffee with a creamy head that adds to the smoothness, nice balance... slight bitter coffee bean aftertaste

Sep 24, 2009 Brewed in the USA... On tap at the Lancaster site. Pours a deep dark brown color with a small beige head. Aroma of coffee, dark malts, sweet chocolate and vanilla. Taste of bitter coffee, chocolate, roasted malts and grains. Mouthfeel is dry, kind of thin with a lingering bitter bite at the finish. Not bad !!

Sep 4, 2009 Draft at the Lancaster IH. Poured dark black with a nice brown head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of strong roasty coffee, light vanilla and chocolate. Mouthfeel is dry but has a nice body. Tastes of strong coffee, chocolate, vanilla and finishes smooth, yet dry. Very nice.
