A delicious, dark roasted coffee, cocoa, and espresso imperial stout with a deep opaque body topped with a dark tan head. Syrupy, sticky, and like dessert. A decadent treat. JoeMcPhee (5000), Jackson Heights, New York, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Mar 19, 2009 Tap at Blind Tiger. Dark black beer with a thin dark tan head. Aroma is really intense and lovely. Loads of rich sweet coffee aroma. A bit of cocoa and even a hint of smoke as well. Chewy and roasty with a lovely soft sweetness. Lightly fruity through the middle, a touch of sweet nuttiness and a lingering roastiness. Intensely coffeeish but without being vegetal as well. Man, these guys rocked this style. jeff789 (397), Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 18, 2009 Pours jet black with a huge thick creamy malted milkshake colored head.... Aroma of caramel, hazelnut, coffee, alcohol, quite a bit of hazelnut actually.... Flavor is bitter coffee, a touch of chocolate, a bit of hazelnut, and a touch of unfortunate genericness... Body is strange in that it is a touch thinner than expected yet alcoholy... Nice beer, but i dont think it holds up to the big boys... thefle (113), , New Jersey, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 18, 2009 solid coffee stout. It’s got some smokey taste to it and a good roasty taste as well. The main story with this beer is it costs 3.50, tastes great and gives you 8% abv. It’s a recession people and this might be the best bang for your buck mix of alcohol and actual quality I have ever seen JCastner (102), New York, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Mar 18, 2009 Pours a dark mud with a deep tan head. Aroma is of licorice, coffee, chocolate. Mouthfeel is surprisingly thin. Taste is some sweet coffee at the front, some burnt barley in the middle and then a smoky chocolate finish. Not one of my favorites. This one needs some additional sweetness, and more in the way of complexity and balance. Not sure of the high rating, maybe the low price had something to do with it? hopscotch (5483), Vero Beach, Florida, USA

The nose presents ground coffee, hickory smoke and an herbal undertone. Medium to full-bodied with nearly-expired carbonation. The flavor provides coffee, chocolate and a whisper of mint. Minerally, roasty finish. 6ROW (258), corpus christi, Texas, USA
