Poured a dark brown color with an average frothy brown head that was mostly lasting and produced excellent lacing. Moderate roasted malt, bread and alcohol aroma. Medium body with a dry smooth texture and flat carbonation. Medium to heavy roasted dark cofee flavor with a medium to heavy bittersweet finish of moderate to long duration.

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | May 10, 2009 Draft at Fredfest 09 at Hair of the Dog. Gorgeous deep black with rubied ebony highlights in the corners. Burnt tan, fizzy head that falls quickly away to not much. Humongous coffee nose, rich and bright and acidic, carrying over some roasty malt. Luscious medium creamy body, soft carb, plenty of thickness to it but not sticky or overwhelming (beautifully balanced yeast). Coffee swirls against a great malt base, hops stay out of the way, and a nice sweet coffee classic is born. For you coffee-bomb lovers, this should be a new standard.
