Jul 11, 2008 Bottle, 50 cl - A pitch black beer with a large frothy dark brown head. Complex aroma with strong notes of high percentage chocolate, dark roasted coffee and tobacco. Flavor is robust, with a smooth maltiness. Strong notes of espresso, much due to its acidity, with hints of chocolate and roasted coffee beans. It’s saltiness and bitterness makes wonder if this isn’t really an imperial stout. Gets better the closer it gets to the right temperature!

Jul 9, 2008 Bottle courtesy of Gillard. Pours black with a nice nutty head. Taste is a little bitter. Aroma is filled with a nice coffee.
I noticed a very subtle lactose.
Mouthfeel, the coffee isn’t as presentt as others, and it remains the low point of this rating.
The beer remains highly drinkable, filled with nice flavors.

Jul 6, 2008 Talk about cocoa and coffee aroma and flavor. Great dark appearance with nice, thick head. Only disappointment was with the palate - more thin than I expected for something as dark and rich. I very much enjoyed and would have again.

Jul 2, 2008 Updated: Nov 3, 2009Thanks to myself for this one. Cracked it open with a bowl of cocco puffs for breakfast. Pours a dark black color with a big toffee colored head. Aroma is roasted malt, coffee and oatmeal. Taste was a little more coffee based then I like since I am not a coffee drinker but still very enjoyable. Lots of roasted malts. Slight trace of alcohol but still easy to drink. Nice hoppy bitterness in the after taste. The texture is thick in the glass but doesnt really feel that way once you taste it. Overall this is a well crafted beer. And If you like coffee this beer is for you!
