gotohelunc (473), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA May 27, 2008 Bottle. Near black pour with a rich, creamy tan head. Nose of black licorice and molasses. Coffee, nuts, and plum flavors. Very smooth. Didn’t overwhelm me with flavors, just really smooth and balanced. Nice stuff. wcampbell (572), Central, South Carolina, USA May 23, 2008 Very good. Full bodied and full flavored. Not very complex. All roasted malt and molasses flavor. Lightly sweet. Very dense, but still drinkable. No taste of alcohol. Smooth taste and finish. Todeon (314), Sweden May 19, 2008 Bottle. Really dark color. Aroma is very roasty and coffee dominated. Taste is black chocolat,coffee and licorice. jredmond (1015), New Jersey, USA May 18, 2008 bottle. This beer pours a dark dark brown almost black body. The aroma is extremely roasty - as is the taste. Pretty good for 8% as well. Nice stout. wingman333 (233), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA May 17, 2008 Dark beer, light brown head. Thick but not heavy. Smooth and alcohol well-hidden. Caramel flavors and somewhat spicy. Not bad but a little watery. Jonte (801), Gothenburg, Sweden May 16, 2008 Updated: May 20, 2008Bottle. Black color with a pale brown head. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee, molasses, dark fruit and some alcohol. The flavor is malty, roasted/slightly burned and sweet. Notes of coffee, dark fruit, molasses, cocoa/chocolate, a bit sourish, metall, and a hint of alcohol. KawaBomber (193), New Jersey, USA May 15, 2008 12oz Bottle: Dark brown, almost black, w/ a large creamy brown head. Roasty malt aroma w/ a hint of smoke & alcohol. Flavor starts w/ a little sweetness fading into roasted malt w/ some coffee & a bit of cocoa. Slightly bitter & dry finish. Alcohol is hidden well, but the palate comes up short, too thin. Smooth & quite good though. EnSiFeRuM (501), Quebec, Canada May 13, 2008 Bouteille de 330 ml. La bière se présente avec une robe noire opaque et un énorme col de mousse brun. Au nez on découvre des arômes de caramel, de vanille, de café et de chocolat noir. En bouche la bière est ronde et crémeuse. Elle nous dévoiles des flaveurs de café, d’alcool, de vanille, de caramel au beurre et de chocolat noir. Excellent
