| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 28, 2008 12.7 oz bottle from ucusty thanks David. Pours a deep dark solid black with an average size tightly packed creamy beige head in my Lucifer snifter. Initial aroma is very sweet, dark fruits..chocolates..dates..artificial sweetner, then the roastiness kicks in with lots of espresso beans..burnt coffee, yum. Full bodied with average carbonation and a god dose of alcohol warming. If the alcohol warming was a touch less this would of been a 5 on palate but alas it was just a bit to much. Flavor of sweet dark fruits, lots of coffee, alcohol, even a touch of peat and smoke from all the raosted/burnt maltiness. Really great beer which turned my mouth into a black hole as I tried to suck every last drop out of the bottle. jkwalking05 (1485), Arlington, Texas, USA

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Oct 18, 2008 Poured into a fluted glass. Dark, almost black with nice red highlights. Sustainable tan head. Coffee, dark chocolate, and dark fruit in the aroma that is a bit sour. Flavor is not what the aroma would suggest. Much more fruit and chocolate and much less coffee notes. This is almost a cherry chocolate beer with a super high ABV. It is also brings some salt. The feel is very rich and smooth. Chocolate is a bit cloying but this is a delicious beer RCL (1480), Waltham, Massachusetts, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Dec 30, 2007 Aptly named. Super dark. Dark roasted aroma and flavor. Unfortunately, it leans towards burnt. Still pretty good though. TheEpeeist (1466), Swarthmore, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Jun 8, 2008 12.7 oz bottle. Dark brown with a tan, pudding-skin head. Nose is milk chocolate, coffee and molasses. Almost medium with a minimal carb tang. Flavor is huge but in need of some melding. Chocolate syrup, coffee and black jelly beans; hints of Good ’n Plenty. Veins of candied citrus and pithy grapefruit add contrast. Alcohol well-hidden despite the high ABV.

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Aug 23, 2006 Updated: Aug 24, 2006Bottle #39. Overwhelming aroma of dark roasted malts, liqour soaked fruits and lots of vanilla. Pours pitch black with very little carbonation, a tiny tan ring is barely spotted. Lots of coffee in the flavor, notes of chocolate, vanilla and brandy, reminds me a bit of some sort of vanilla/chocolate ice cream. Very intense, deliveres a small and pleasant alcohol burn to the throat. The vanilla becomes a bit cloying i think. SuIIy (1465), Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Feb 18, 2009 Bottle. Pours a dark brown/black color with a foamy beige head. Nose is roasty, choclate, cocoa, with some very mild dark fruits. Head laces well. Palate is full and silky, but leaves a biting on the tongue and throat. a very light hint of alcohol in the nose. Flavor is solid chocolate with some light coffee, roasted malts, and deep raisiny notes.
