Jul 30, 2009 Deep dark black/red. Nose; perfectly roasted coffee beans, toasted oats, chocolate, burnt wood, very strong, i wish they made cologne like this! Taste was similar to the nose, oh so malty!, nice balance, id rather drink this in the morning instead of coffee, wish i could afford it.

Jul 29, 2009 smells of roasted malts and a touch of coffee and cocoa, with a nice hop presence usually reserved for imperial stouts. looks/pours like an imperial too! taste is pretty intense, more coffee, smooth oat flavor and a touch of bittering hops in the dry finish. smooth body too from the loads of oats. great beer, if a bit pricey. For me Espresso Yeti is king of the voffee stouts, but this is quite good.

Jul 28, 2009 Poured from a bottle into my pint glass this beer is so dark brown it borders on black. The mocha hued head settles nicley on top but goes nowhere. The smell is fantastic. So rich and bold. It smells like a freshly brewed cup of mocha coffee. The flavor is very intense. It has a bold smoky coffee flavor with a dark chocolate ganash and roasted malt backbone. Rather pronounced bitter bite. It wasn’t as thick as I imagined it would be. The carbonation is a bit on the high side but, not too strong. For me this is a nice imperial stout. I could see myself sipping one of these when the weather turns bitter in a few months.

Jul 26, 2009 Bottle shared on the 4th of July- Glad my fellow Dev Knights enjoyed! BLACK pour with a thin sticky tan head. You drown in the roasted blackness with steeped grains, coffee, smoked chocolate delights. Coats the palate smooth and creamy. A lot is going on here but it’s all really good. Great way to wrap up a wonderful evening.

Jul 26, 2009 Aroma wasn’t as striking as the label would suggest. However the appearance was the first indicator as to how impressive this beer was to become. Initial impressions - expected a strong coffee flavour, yet its subtlety was a pleasant suprise. Building to a crescendo of bitterness and a slight malty taste inherent in many of his beers. Suprisingly more carbonated than expected in a stout, yet smooth and extremely drinkable. Exquisite beer and left me wanting.
