Hand bottled from Larry (goldtwins) Thank you. I have wanted to try this stuff since I heard it was released. Pours out a very dark black color with a little bit of a head that goes away rather quickly. Even when it is sloshing around in the glass you can tell that it is going to be crazy thick. The smell is absolutely overwhelming of chocolate and coffee and oats. It is sweet smelling, but not overly sweet like a milk stout type. Taste is thick, and smooth, like drinking a milk chocolate bar filled with alcohol and coffee. Amazing mouthfeel, like drinking a somewhat lighter darklord. This is awesome stuff, among the best stouts I have ever had. Thanks a lot Larry. Now if only this was bottled in a bottling line so I could drink it more often.

Aug 20, 2008 Pours black with a beautiful brown head that diminishes completely. Aroma of alcohol, chocolate, and dark fruit. Thick, heavy mouth feel that saturates the palate. Flavor of chocolate, bitter coffee, and vanilla. Alcohol is slightly noticable in the taste, but overall, it’s well-hidden. Long, bitter finish of roasted malts, coffee, and hops.

Ordered from Liquor Max in Co. Thanks Nick. Tasted on 4/12/2008
I definitely wowed some friends pouring this amazing beer from a can. Pours motor oil black with a thick, mocha colored head. Smells of dark chocolate, coffee, and roasted malts. Taste is very similar with a majority coming from the chocolate and roasted malt taste and then a hint of coffee. The mouthfeel is very thick and expected of an RIS. The alcohol is hidden very well in the smell and taste for a 10%ABV beer thus it is pretty drinkable but I can’t see having more than a couple in a session.

Aug 17, 2008 Can from ericandersnavy.
Pours black, no light comming through, with a chocolate head....Very strong aroma of chocolate and coffee. Flavor is very nice, strong dark roast and chocolate with a bitter of a good IIPA. Palate is heavy, full body with low carbonation. Over all, a very tasty beer....

Aug 16, 2008 Alright, so any beer that comes in a ALUMINUM CAN isn’t exactly on my "to-taste" list... so when this arrived from a friend I wasn’t the biggest fan. But it’s good stuff! GREAT roasted flavors with lots of creamy vanilla and chocolate. EXTREMELY thick (I would love to know what it’s FG is, gotta be huge) and pours tremendously dark with a dark tan head that is rich with aroma and flavor.
All I know is that when I see this in the stores, can or bottle, I’m buying it!
