MeanMountnMan (15), Nampa, Idaho, USA Dec 15, 2008 APPEARANCE: Very dark with a thick tight foam that lasted well, leaving good lacing as it dissipated.
AROMA: Dark chocolate, and coffee were most prevalent, finishing with spicey hops.
FLAVOR: A big mouthfull of dark chocolate-covered coffee beans with a nice dry hop finish. Very nice flavors blended well.
PALATE: Creamy, medium-full body lets the flavors linger long on the tongue.
OVERALL IMPRESSION: I could get in trouble with this one. I found this to be a smooth drinker.

BuckeyeBoy (1639), Boise, Idaho, USA Jul 21, 2007 On tap at brewpub pours out a nice light black topped with a tan head. Wow what a coffee nose on this one. Tast of chocolate, coffee and roast. jcwattsrugger (5223), Florida and, New Jersey, USA Jun 20, 2007 @Mountain Beerfest-on tap-pours a light brown head and black color. Aroma is dark malt-hot chocolate/some coffee. Taste is dark malt-strong coffee/oatmeal, some bitter/astringent. Bradrcr (778), Renton, Washington, USA May 25, 2007 Loved the nose on this one. Liked the dried fruit tones in both the nose and flavor. Roast malt was a little forward, but still relatively easy drinking. Espresso bean notes were evident, but not overpowering. goldtwins (4078), Nesconset, New York, USA May 26, 2006 Growler. Poured a very dark brown color. Some light brown legs. No head. Roasty malt aroma with some ash and dark fruit. Flavor of roasted malt and coffee. Dull carbonation and mouthfeel. Thin. jake65 (1657), Williston, North Dakota, USA Apr 23, 2006 Very dark brown, almost black pour. Thick to drink with deep coffee flavor, as well as chocolate, roastiness, malts, and hopiness to finish. Similar to thier porter, but more intense coffee flavor.
