deyholla (506), Bloomington, Indiana, USA May 29, 2009 On tap. Poured black with a brown head. Aroma was full of all sort of dar notes with a nice smoked undertone. Flavor doesn’t disappoint with a dark smoked flavor throughout. Great beer! IDunno19 (78), Ames, Iowa, USA May 26, 2009 Are you kidding me? Nose full of smokey, chocolatey oak with hints of caramel and floral fruits. Pours a dark brown/black color with an espresso head. Notes of chocolate, licorice, smoke, oak, and toffee mix on a silky and delicious palatte. Thank God I bought the four pack... NicoleByLake (5), Illinois, USA does not count May 24, 2009 Creamy and smooth with notes of chocolate and coffee. Somewhat bitter aftertaste and taste of alcohol make this a bit less drinkable for me. vinerd (17), Orlando, Florida, USA May 24, 2009 Black body, tan head. The aroma is of coffee grounds, bakers chocolate and roasted barley. The taste starts out with burnt malt and finishes with very dark chocolate, while never actually tasting bitter. Great beer. Definitely recommend this. italarican (157), Astoria, New York, USA May 21, 2009 Updated: Sep 5, 2009Very dark with minimal tan head. Slight taste of cocoa and subtle alcohol aftertaste. Rich, nutty flavor stays on the palate. Very smooth. I dig. gracefullypunk (272), Washington, USA May 20, 2009 Near black with a thick mocha head. Aromas of roasted malt, lots of chocolate, coffee, vanilla, faint anise. Very smooth. Espresso, chocolate, spicy flavors ending with a bitter coffee taste. Very tasty. DerWeg (748), Toronto, Ontario, Canada May 16, 2009 Detailed aromas of cocoa liqueur, dark fruit, slight stab of alcohol. Espresso look. Taste immediate full, rich fruity esters, deep sweet malts, toffee, coffee, figs cocoa, hops showing a late bitterness under the mouth-coating dominant malty flavors. Some definite alcohol warmth, really solid and great!! apshah99 (137), Portland, Oregon, USA May 16, 2009 Black pour with tan head. Aroma of roasted malt and coffee with a little dark fruit and hops. Taste starts out smooth with some sweet roasted malt and ends with s little chocolate, coffee, and anise with a well balanced lingering bitterness. Delicious. It is a little weak on the palate for this style. This is not an over the top Imperial Stout, but just a really well done excellent beer.
