Mar 27, 2007 Pours almost pitch black with a small tan head. Aroma was of a lot of roastiness and chocolate. Taste was a light sweetness with some chocolate. It seems like there may be some bakers chocolate that leads to a little bitterness.

Mar 26, 2007 12 oz bottle via trade with, not so sure anymore. whoever you are thank you. Pours black with a tiny thin light brown head. Aroma is strange, strong coffee and a little malt. The taste is quite bitter and very very carbonated, this is an odd sweet stout, strange indeed. intersting.

Mar 13, 2007 Bottle thanks to bockyhorsey! Poured a deep dark black, maybe some brown in there, no mahoganey edges. Initial head was generous, yet not well sustaining, thins to a small covering, lots of carbonation action going on. The aroma was coffee first then chocolate, some bitterness actually there. The flavor was pretty tasty, a nice coffee and chocolate melding, definite oat presence to dry this sucker out, even gave it a rather thin mouthfeel, completely unexpected from the color and pour. Mouthfeel was amply carbonated, dry, yet a bit thin, especially within style. Thanks again, Bill!

Mar 1, 2007 Bottle shared by bgburdman: Black pour with a light tan head. Aroma, coffee and chocolate, some roasted notes, and brown sugar. Flavor, bitter coffee notes, and dark chocolate, roasted bitterness on the finish. Medium bodied, good stuff.

Feb 28, 2007 poured from a 12oz. bottle into a tulip pint glass, thanks to flyingbison for this one!
A: Pours near-jet black with a smallish creamy head that disappears on me quick. Leaves nice lacing though.
S: Smells like fresh-baked oatmeal cookies and a dash of brown sugar maltiness. Very little hops to speak of.
T/M: Mmmmm! Delicious, though the flavors don’t match the aroma profile, this brew drinks like a creamy cup of iced mocha coffee. Lots of roasted bittersweet flavors. Soft, creamy consistency and a short but intense finish of dark chocolate.
D: This is a very easy beer to drink, and one I’d go back to again if I had access to them. Recommended.

Jan 26, 2007 Pours a nice dark black with a decent off-brown head. Nice chocolatty nose, with a sweet and slightly smokey nose. Great flavor of almost chocolate covered toffee. There is also a good dose of roasted malt and coffee. Very nice beer.
