Oct 15, 2007 22oz Bottle: Pours a dark brown with a fine tan head. The nose is subtle but driven by chocolate tones. Chocolate drives the taste but the finish is slightly bitter with a hint of dark coffee or espresso. The palate is thinner than I would expect but also soft and velvety. Overall a nice beer that hides the alcohol well and makes for a nice desert beer.

Oct 10, 2007 Fluffy fizzy beige head, dissipating to a dusting; dark black ruby in the glass. Produces a dense, clingy lace. Smells burnt and roasty at first, then like wet coffee grounds. Fizzy prickle fills the mouth on the first sip. Roasty flavors encompass some dry chocolate lurking underneath; there’s lots of flavor on the somewhat thinish body.

Sep 29, 2007 9-29-07 Bottle. Roasted coffee and chocolate aroma - a bit muted though. Very smooth and creamy on the palate. Black in color. Decent flavor with a slight bite in the finish. Pretty good overall but not very fresh when I tried it.

Sep 29, 2007 Dark, dark brown to black pour with a big lasting tan head. Smell is a nice roasted malt and coffee smell, but a noticeable metallic smell as well, as this beer is probably a year old. Smell is not too big, but noticeable. Smooth, mouthfeel with light carbonation, a nice roastiness and cappuccino flavor on into the finish and aftertaste. Some light bitterness. This would be quite a bit better fresh, but still is pretty decent. Nice coffee stout that is not overly hopped.

Sep 26, 2007 This came to me as a good suggestion from a worker at Shoreline Beverage in Huntington, NY as I looking to try darker ales.
It poured well with a slight head emerging in my little glass from the cask festival and its black contents with amber edges making a good look for the ale.
It smelled like a robust coffee mixed with Guiness and the first open flavors really kicked like the fabled Irish ale. I liked the dark malts and the crisp elements.
I could imagine this working as an after dinner drink at Thanksgiving.
