Tap @ Magnolia for Strong Ale Month 2008. Poured opaque black with a tan head. Coffee aroma with some sweet malt underneath. The flavor was roasty with notes of coffee in the finish. The mouthfeel is on the thin side for the finish. Maybe from pulling out some more alcohol from this batch. Medium bodied.

On tap @ Magnolia poured a nearly opaque black with a small lingering brown head. Aromas of smoke, coffee, bitter chocolate and a hint of vanilla.Palate was mediuym to full bodied and smooth. Flavors of smoke, coffee, bitter chocolate and roasted malt with a smooth lingering bitter fin ish.

Draft. Black beer with anice tan head. Light roast aroma with a bit of coffee and sweet malt - doesn’t match flavor. Roasty, caramel, chocolate flavor. Not too roasty. Everything in balance. Medium body. Lingering sweet malt, light brown sugar, chocolate, and coffee. Alcohol well hidden. Nice.

Tap. Black with a dark brown head. Extremely bitter with heavy coffee flavors with an aftertaste that brings me to almost the breaking point. It has a tart flavor but its hard to identify the specific fruits.
