Very dark, no light getting through this guy, bubbly head reminscent of cola. Very smokey notes with some dark chocolate, and a good hint of coffee also. A very respectable beer.

Bottle from early 08 enjoyed early 09. Pours an opaque near black with a large frothy creamy tan head. Rich aroma, fruity, lots of creamy chocolate, earthy hay, hint of coffee, sweet molasses, touch of vanilla. Sweeter milky metallic flavor, creamy light chocolate, quite a bit of hay, rich vanilla, smooth roast. Hot finish. Syrupy tasting but maybe thats because of its age, very rich. Creamy medium mouthful while at the same time have sparse tiny but sharp carbonation.

330ml bottle, LCBO. Pours almost completely black. Aroma of dark chocolate and fruits. Nice roasty taste to begin with and a rich well rounded finish, though on some sips the alcohol was a tad overpowering.

Pretty good. Has a nice almost black pour with a lasting milk chocolate colored head. The nose is roasty with a light fruit, nice roasted almost mocha style though the palate.

Pleasant surprise. Complex dark, fruity nose with light, roasted coffee notes. Nice foamy lasting head. It is a little clumsy on the palate but who cares. Nice fun brew.

Rich malt and coffee nose. Dark brown/black color, frothy tan long lasting head. Coffee liquor, subtle smoke, dark bittersweet chocolate finish with nice burn. Big sweet, rich stout, well put together beer.
