Poured black wth a tan brown head. Aroma of cocoa, berry, citrus, roast, and a slight astringency. Flavor of rum and licorice, some roast, chocolate and alcohol. Finishes with a dark and bitter flavor. Good, but slightly acidic.

Black pour, nice tan colored creamy head. Nose of coffee and chocolate, subdued notes of earthy fruit. Palate is a touch light for an impy stout, carbonation is a bit too much. Flavor is a bunch of coffee bitterness and roastiness with a little dark chocolate.

Heavy creamy body with mld carbonation. Starts with some broth and malted chocolate notes. Coffee and smoke, mild bitter finish and after. Meaty smoky finish, a beer with substance.

Bottle shared by bgburdman at C-Bus 6, thanks! Black pour with a tan head. Aroma of chocolate, roasted malt a bit off coffee as well. Flavors of roasted malt, bitter coffee, and bakers chocolate were evident as well as some earthy hops. A bit over carbonated and a bit thin in body as far as the mouthfeel is concerned though it did have a nice roasty finish.
