Aug 16, 2008 Big disappointment. Poured dark black. Sludgy tasting and moldy tasting. I hope I just got a bad six. Definitely will not finish what I bought. I really anticipated a decent regional beer. Too bad Shiner got this one wrong.

Aug 10, 2008 Bottled. Very dark pour with a nice head. Smells like caramel fudge, but flavor is light roast coffee. Nicely done but as it warms that aspect turns obnoxious.

Aug 2, 2008 If you like black beer, this won’t disappoint. Not my favorite style and I probably won’t buy more once these six are gone, but I don’t regret giving them a shot. I will say, the packaging is quite nice...

Aug 2, 2008 NOT THE WORST BEER IN THE WORLD...
...but freakin close
Like sucking on metal shavings. No depth, no savor, no enjoyment. I’d rather have Miller Lite, and that’s saying a lot.

Jul 31, 2008 Not bad, but not great, smooth and creamy and very drinkable. There is just not much substance to it. Has very light hints of chocolate and cocoa, perhaps some roasted coffee. Overall its very thin on the palate.

Jul 30, 2008 Very dark pour with a nice slow bubbling head. I got a nice surprise here. Rich flavor with just hints of coffee and a sweet almost bubblegum like taste. I didn’t know what to expect and after drinking the bottle I still know how to describe it. Need a second bottle. And gosh I hate it when that happens….
