| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 14/20 | Oct 2, 2009 Bottle. Kinda tastes like chocolate milk. Very tasty. Opaque brown/black pour. Smell is like an espresso roast...but not overpowering, unfortunately. Taste isn’t as coffee-ish as I had hoped. Definite roasty flavor and smooth texture. Not bad overall. jesperhammer (303), Copenhagen, Denmark

05-SEP-2009, bottle @home.
On opening the bottle, I spill some. My fingers become quite sticky, and the lable says dessert beer, so my expectations are towards a very sweet beer. But it is not really.
Very dark brown with high creamy head. Mostly coffee on the nose, but also other roasted aromas.
Quite sweet, but the coffee bitternesss balances it. No alcohol can be detected.
Very fine beer for a #200 rating. In my book it could be used for dessert, but I happily sipped it with football (DK-POR).
Oh, and it is the "national" beer day, and this was a fine celebration. AmEricanbrew (1808), Doing Rogue, Louisiana, USA

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Aug 25, 2009 This bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a small sized head of foamy finely sized brown colored bubbles that were quickly diminishing and left behind a opaque dark ruby red brown colored body and a oily lacing. The mild aroma was brown malt and burnt malt. The mildly vinous mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish with a lingering vinous aftertaste. The flavor contained notes of roasted malt mildly vinous dark malt and brown malt. A decent one that I would consider buying again. TheJester (707), Peterborough, Ontario, Canada

Not dusty. Dry. Black coffee, cocoa powder, and roast in there, too. Lots of coffee in the flavour, along with anise and roast. Some caramel sweetness. Good stout. beerbuzzmontreal (2911), Montreal, Quebec, Canada
