Apr 6, 2009 Not too strong. Light and balanced with some coffee and dark cocoa. SOme nic elight bitterness. I feel this one has changed over time.

Apr 2, 2009 Very mild aroma... was expecting a more potent coffee smell, disappointed. Clear black pour, very little head. Tastes of semi-sweet chocolate and coffee, although mild flavors. Has a thick feel to it. I thought this beer was nice, but in this category it wasn’t anything special. I’d much rather have the Rogue chocolate or Brooklyn chocolate stout.

Mar 30, 2009 Very smooth drinking, great coffee aroma/taste. Nothing too out of the box, but a very nice coffee stout.

Mar 28, 2009 Black pour with vivacious tan head. Aroma is of roasty chocolate malt and some coffee. Flavor is much the same- somewhat of a cookie cutter example of the style- nothing special to bring to the table. What it did, however, it did well. Palate is rich and thick, carbonation is medium.

Mar 23, 2009 Surprisingly little coffee aroma/flavor. Much more chocolate than anything. Some roast bitterness, which is slightly astringent and keeps the beer from being top notch. Quite solid though. Clean flavor. Carbonationlevel not quite right.

Mar 23, 2009 Bottle. Pours black with a small, fizzy, light brown head, somewhat lasting with fair lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (cookie, burnt grain, coffee, nutty), light hops (grass), average yeast (leather) with notes of prunes, smoke, and tar. Medium bodied, sticky texture, lively carbonation, and a bitter finish. Average duration, light sweetness, moderate acidity and bitterness.

Mar 22, 2009 Pours dark brown/black, with a smallish offwhite head. Smells of mostly toffee notes and caramel malt. Not much of the coffee is evident inthe nose. The flavor is a little sticky on the palate, with a touch of burnt malt, roast, and dark chocolate. The coffee flavor really comes out in the finish and aftertaste, although it seems a little forced and doesnt blend too well withthe other characters of this beer if you ask me. i didnt enjoy it that much.
