Oct 29, 2008 Black with red cast when held to a strong light. Aroma of cocoa and coffee. Modest tan head good amount of lacings. Tastes of strong rich coffee, some cocoa, trace of vanilla. Sweet dark roasted malts, long bitter finish. Good warming brew partly due to high abv that is well masked.

Oct 29, 2008 Smells of malts and coffee. Looks like coffee. Tastes like a bitter coffee. I like it. The color has a tinge of lightness to it. I’d buy this again.

Oct 27, 2008 Pours a thin black color with a hint of ruby and a faint tan head. Smells of roasted malts, coffee, and slight licorice. Tastes much the same along with a bit of powdered cocoa and maple syrup. Unevenly flavored, yet satisfyingly sweet.

Oct 25, 2008 Poured from bomber a dark brown with medium-sized tan head. Aroma is powdered cocoa, dark fruit, roast grain, and coffee. Flavor is bittersweet chocolate, dark roasted coffee, some dark plum, yeast, and a mild graininess. The palate is mildly tart and sweet with a slight alcohol warmth. Easy to drink, so nice flavors, good but not great. I’d buy it again.

Oct 25, 2008 Pours thin, light brown color, with virtually no head. Nose is coffee, malt, and alcohol. Taste is like a weird artificial coffee flavor. I can’t say I’d pick this up again. Not enough body for a stout, but it still has grown on me a bit.

Oct 23, 2008 Pours a thin light brown with a fizzy light tan head. The nose is sweet, roasty, mild coffee character, mothballs?, strange phenolic character. The flavor is roasty, a tad sweet, bittersweet chocolate, light alcoho, some waxyness, molasses. The palate is bitter and chocolaty.

Oct 22, 2008 Incredible nose of dark roasted coffee beans, brown sugar, and caramel. Very thin, dark brown not even close to black with a 1/2 inch latte head. Flavorful; bold cappaccino, malty sweetness, and even a little nuttiness. The 8.3% ABV is invisible. Enjoyable brew @ a great price...give it a try!!!
