Apr 21, 2009 Bottle. Poured dark black, a little carbonation and some brown sugar and a mild burnt coffee aroma. Flavor was thick, roasted malts, coffee, very sweet sugar and warm and boozy on the finish. Definitely got better as the beer warmed up, I may try to get a bottle and drink at room temp next time.

Apr 21, 2009 Dark but not solid black with no head or bubbles. Coffee scent is overpowered by sweet alcohol- like a barleywine.
Thick and complex flaver: coffee, alcohol, sweet chocolate. Heavy malt balances serious hops. Slightly cloying, this would make a decent dessert beer and could have been classified as a barleywine.

Apr 20, 2009 Very dark pour with small head. Nose of coffee, cocoa and hops...seems like this will be great. Yeah, it is. Flavors of chocolate cake mixed with coffee...and surprisingly not that hot. Very nice body with great finish.

Apr 20, 2009 Pours very dark with minimal head. Can see through this guy in the right light. Lots of coffee in the flavor. On the front and back of the palate. Hides the alcohol too well I think. Again lots of coffee. Medium bodied. Get this one if you can.

Apr 20, 2009 Poured from the tap into a tasting glass.
The color is a dark black with a brownish head with some slight foam. Nice lacing.
The smell is a moca coffee flavor and a bit of burnt malt.
The taste is a burnt malt, and moca coffee almost like and expresso. Does have a slight but nice coffee aftertaste.
The mouthfeel is smooth. No bite to this high ABV brew. Very satifying.
Serving type: on-tap

Apr 19, 2009 Here it is, my 500th! Poured from big bottle. Aroma is cocoa and coffee in a wine barrel. Jet black, just a bit of head. Hot chocolate, coffee, roasted malt, black forest cake. Extremely creamy feel. Doesn’t seem like 12% to me. Bit of an alcohol kick at finish. A beer worthy to be my 500th.

Apr 16, 2009 Pours a very nice opaque black with a big creamy deep tan head with great retention... aroma of bitter chocolate coffee roasty slightly milky some dark fruits subtlely... taste is hugely roasty with big bitter coffee flavor and a touch of lactose... full bodied, full mouthfeel, alcohol is well hidden but you can definitely feel it...

Apr 16, 2009 Bought a bottle it at the Empty Pint. A dark beer similiar to any coffee stout. Coffee amd dark chocolate aroma. Full bodied with medium coffee flavor. A good coffee stout but there are few that I’ve had that are better.
