Mar 17, 2009 Heavily chalky creamed espresso, gritty, earthy, extremely muddy and clouded aroma... the soil/earth character seems to mute any vibrancy of the coffee, and the chalkiness seems to cloud what may be a wonderfully rich dry/bitter chocolate note. Instead the entire nose is muted, numbed, muddled and sort of messy. Nothing seems to change when it hits the mouth - muddy, cloudy, soil-rich, earthy, and altogether messy. Absolutely nothing stands out in this beer, the yeast seems to dampen and neutralize almost every good quality (roast, chocolate, coffee, cream) that the beer suggests it has hidden somewhere. No major flaws at all, but a wholly unremarkable coffee stout.

Mar 16, 2009 Updated: Nov 28, 2009Bottle... C&P’sLYFO Throwdown... This beer rocks!... Black ale with a small, creamy, beige head. Good retention. Cocoa nibs, charcoal, smoke and espresso are the components of the aroma that stand out the most. Full-bodied with a velvety mouthfeel and gentle carbonation. The flavor is luxuriant and very espresso and chocolate-forward with a soothing hug of alcohol. The finish is burnt, boozy, and then dry.

Mar 16, 2009 Bottle shared by Marcus. Very hazy and opaque dark brown color with a decent tan head. Aromas of coffee and dark malt. Full bodied with creamy carbonation. Flavor primarily of coffee and really dark toasted malt. It has a light dark toasted malt flavor. It’s sweet, but not obnoxiously so. Really tasty.

Mar 16, 2009 Thanks to roberto for sharing!. Nice toffee colored head, dark in color. Nice coffee aroma. Tons of roasted malts, just a touch of coffee. Lots of chocolate. Sweetness to it, but an aftertaste of bitterness to it. Dry finish. Good texture. Overall nice beer.

Mar 15, 2009 Courtesy mcbackus. Pours jet black with a small light tan head. Thenose is of dark toasted malts, a little toffee, and bits of chocolate and and vanilla as well. the flavor is very roasty, morseo than in the nose. Lots of chocolate and coffee notes allaround. Even hints of some sweet toffe or caramel in the finish. Pretty full bodied, with a little heat left onthe palate. maybe a touch overrated, but definitely top quality.
