| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 24, 2009 Absolute pitch black pour with a dark tan head. Aroma is pretty much pure coffee. Flavor is very nicely balanced, not too sweet, not too bitter. Good coffee flavor with hints of dark chocolate. Ends up a bit middle-of-the-road, but is very nice, well made, and exceptionally drinkable. lb4lb (2011), Austin, Texas, USA

Pours a dark black color with somewhat short lived tan head. Smell is coffee, a bit of milk, and chocolate like malt. Taste is freshly roasted coffee beans, chocolate, and some creamy, lactic milkiness. Body is creamy, full and rich with soft carbonation. Overall, a fantastic coffee beer, and definitely one worth trying. badgerben (3600), Blaine, Minnesota, USA

Aroma of chocolate malt, espresso and mild smoke. Hefty roasted chocolate malt, espresso, and moderate bitterness. Lots of espresso hangs out for a fairly lengthy finish. Really nice effort from Long Trail. egajdzis (3626), Spring Mount, Pennsylvania, USA

Aroma of roasted malts, coffee, some chocolate, and faint smoke. Taste of roasted malts, cocoa, smoke, a touch of caramel, and light coffee in the finish. Not as good as the Brooklyn consumed right before this. BDR (2160), Roseville, Minnesota, USA
