Dec 23, 2008 Bottle courtesy of rustychiles. Thick black color pour with a creamy tan head that lasts and laces nicely. Aroma and flavor are big on dark roasted coffee, along with roasted malt and licorice. Thick, creamy and mouth-coating. Like a strong iced coffee. Fantastic! Thanks Rusty.

Dec 20, 2008 Bottle from MaltOMeal at the December Houston tasting. Thanks! Pours deep black with a beige head. Aroma is vegetable nut and new carpet. Flavor is dark raspberry soaked in alcohol, with a strawberry finish. Thick and coating mouthfeel. Coffee? Where?

Dec 20, 2008 Bottle thanks to maltomeal at the Houston Impy stout tasting. A very late night beer so the notes are a bit...Black and no head. Soapy nose, burnt malts, coffee and musty too. Different. Taste of coffee but in moderation, musty again like an old carpet, and very hot. Overall though very smooth and drinkable but again it is just different given the musty, old attic nose and taste. I did like it though and would not mind trying it again when I have full faculties.

Dec 18, 2008 This poured a tick black in color with a thin brown head that faded amost entirely away. As expected the nose showed off the coffee along with milk chocolate and a mineral element. In the midpalate it was medium to full-bodied, rich and concentrated before fading toward a dry and bitter finish. It should be noted that this hides its 12% alcohol exceptionally well.

Dec 14, 2008 Bottled winter 2008.
Black opaque color, decent espresso head. Black coffee aroma, some licorice too. Very roasted flavor. Lots of tobacco, black coffee. This is quite dry, has a bit too much color malts maybe or then it is coffee. Could have more hops too. This is a simple little brother of Mikkeller Beer Geek Breakfast, but quite good one.

Dec 7, 2008 22 oz. bottle. Received in trade from JB last year. I let it age a year so that it would mellow. Pours a dark black like dirty mortor oil. Thin, light brown head. Nice roasted coffee aroma with alcohol. Very thick mouthfeel, smooth and creamy. Sweetness upfront, but the finish is long and bitter. Alot of warming alcohol.

Nov 30, 2008 Pours black with a small tan head that diminishes quickly. Aroma of chocolate and coffee. Taste is chocolate, roasted malts, and some hops. Coffee flavor is weak and kind of stale - like Peche Mortel light. Mouthfeel is syrupy with low carbonation. This beer is good but not great, drinkable but a bit boring. As far as coffee stouts are conserned, this can’t touch Peche Mortel .

Nov 29, 2008 Bottled (thanks PilsnerPeter!). Black colour with some rubyish hints. Aroma is coffee, hops, some chocolate and tobacco. Mild licorice too. Flavour is roasted coffee, burnt wood, ashes, tobacco and some slight notes of fruity hops. Very pleasant.
