Jun 9, 2009 bomber from stfun...
pours barely transparent woody dark blackish brown with a huge cafe au lait colored head.
it smells of well toasted coffee beans, malt, caramel and lots of nuts.
the same crafted coffee is in the flavor... and lots of it! it is not bitter, harsh or sour... i’d really like to try the coffee on its own... anyway, the beer has other flavors of dark dried fruit/prunes, heavy roast, grass and buttery caramel covered toasted walnuts with a touch of acidity on the finish.
it is fairly full bodied though it is ’oddly’ carbonated...it is very high, soft and sudsy. it builds and fills my mouth like that spray in insulation. this detracts from what is an otherwise solid brew. 8/4/8/2/14/3.6

May 19, 2009 Bottle. Pours opaque with a large, frothy, dark brown head, mostly lasting with fair lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (coffee, chocolate, nutty), light hop (grass), average yeast (leather) with notes of tar, charcoal, prune, and dates. Full bodied, creamy texture, lively carbonation, and a bitter finish. Long duration, moderate sweetness, acidity, and bitterness.

May 7, 2009 Bottle courtesy of RealityDeviant on 04/30/2009. Dark black body with faint ruby highlights and a medium creamy light brown head. Big coffee, roast and spicy hop aroma. Big coffee flavor with some light roast and caramel a with a bit of bitter background. Medium light body with moderate carbonation, though almost lighter than the aroma implies.

May 2, 2009 Compliments of the Monsignor himself, the indelible, DrBayern! Al consumed at Ed’s beer palace in the area of croatan. The beer poured pitch black pour with light ruby hints at the edges. Thin cover of tan head, dark roasted aroma of coffee beans. Very light carbonation and body. The flavour was of deep earth and dirt, dark coffee beans. Extremely well made and enjoyable. Complete yummos !
