May 2, 2009 Snifter at Bottleworks - congrats to the guys for the successful installation of a few taps at what has got to be one of the country’s best bottle shops! Poured black, with a good-sized tan head. Tons of oak in the aroma - this one’s got a lot of wood in it. The coffee component is mild, but certainly present - one of my favorite things about the brew is the definite presence of roasty coffee without that note drowning out everything else I like about an impy stout - notes of dark chocolate and molasses. Slightly tart with the coffee and all the oak, and nice and thick, but well carbonated. Only slightly boozy, considering the 12%!

May 2, 2009 Thanks to rustychiles for the share. Pours deep black with minimal wisps of a tan head. Aroma is deep chocolate, coffee, and roast malts. A taste to match. Sex in a glass.

May 1, 2009 Bottle. Very dark brown with a thin tan head. Roasty, coffee aroma with some chocolate and a bit of caramel. Rich malt flavor with coffee and dark chocolate. Fuller silky body. Coffee and roast lingers with some chocolate and some hops. Alcohol nitceable, but in balance. Some complexity, but it doesn’t completely win me over.

Apr 29, 2009 Thanks Gillard for the share. Pours dark brown with an off-white head. Nose is roast, coffee, and compared to other ST beers, this one is very... normal. There are elements of roast, and a great mouthfeel, but that is about it. Nice coffee lingering around in the finish, but it is not Creme Brulee...

Apr 26, 2009 Bottle courtesy of Gillard. Pours a dark brown to black with reddish highlights. Aroma is milk chocolate, coffee, hints of caramel and toffee. Flavor is sweet and malty with notes of coffee, chocolate, toffee, caramel, honey, some hints of vanilla and spice. Generally medium to full body with a pleasing coffee finish.

Apr 24, 2009 The best smell of waking up! That’s fresh brewed goodness. Black with an off white head. I figured this would be thicker in body since I’ve had the Oat and Choklat now, but it’s fairly tame. Still coating and sticky in the mouth. Lots of dark roast, balanced coffee, something i’m not used to with southern tier. balance.

Apr 22, 2009 Updated: May 11, 2009Pours an almost pitch black with a creamy brown head. Big aromas here of malt and hops. Theres dark roasted coffee, hint of toffee, caramel, cake, and hops all producing this big roasted aroma. The flavor is very creamy and complex with dark roasted coffee and chocolate up front to stimulate the senses then goes into a little hop note and ending on a very high roasted note that lingers. Very sweet and bitter. An awesome brew in my book, and glad to have the brewery only a mire 5 miles away.
