Commercial Description:
Generous portions of roasted barley, black and chocolate malts which leave "coffee" overtones lingering on the palate. The Nitro Keg version is particularly soft and creamy.

Draft at Tully’s in Amherst, NY. Opaque black pour with milk chocolate colored head. Light coffee scent. Taste is good, coffee and chocolate, definite coffee. Slight bitterness, but not a stabbing red wine-style bitterness that lingers. A little thinner than I would have hoped, but good overall.

The appearance? Black Hole darkness where not even a sliver of light escapes. Finger of chcolate milk-brown head. Looks big and heavy...and pitch black. The aroma is a roasted/burnt malt flavor with light coffee notes. Understated but quite rich. Smells good, but not all that powerful. The initial taste is a burst of strong coffee with burnt malt. The roasted stout flavor dominates. A sweeter second wave of dark chocolate and mild yeast. Very strong combination of flavors. The bready ringwood yeast comes out as it warms, as do all the other flavors. Really strong. Feels thick as hell but also smooth and oily. Leaves a thick coating. Somehow thickens as it warms. It’s very balanced even though it’s really thick and strong. Sweet enough for ONE repeat. Feels/tastes like it has a lot of alcohol.

Growler. Pours near black with a tan head. Roasted malt aroma, with chocolate and a touch of coffee. The flavor has a nice mix of sweet and roasted malts with semi sweet chocolate, a bit more coffee, and even a hint of smoke. Very nice.

En fût. Verre de 12 oz dégusté chez Chapter House (Ithaca, NY). Arôme: Odeur de café avec une pointe de caramel et de chocolat. Apparence: La couleur est noire opaque avec un mince col crémeux et une fine dentelle sur le verre. Saveur: Forte présence de café avec une pointe de lactose et de chocolat. Durée moyenne de l’arrière goût. Palette: Le corps est moyen avec une texture légèrement crémeuse. Moyenne effervescence en bouche. Légère présence de café en arrière goût. (Rating #2027)

Growler. Pours deep black with a moderate dark brown head. Aroma of caramel, toffee, coffee, and chocolate. Very inviting. Flavor is very much the same. Sweet malty flavors abound, with rich cocoa and bitter espresso. A slightly bitter finish. Pretty creamy, very easy to drink.

Draft at Which Brew in Easton, PA. Pours black with a creamy brown head. Wonderful aroma of berries and chocolate. Medium to full bodied with a creamy texture. Flavor of dark roast, coffee, berries and spice. Not overly bitter, and finish is slightly acidic. Not bad.
