Pours a rich, thick black with a smooth, coffee-cream hued head forming at the top. The aroma is all malt as one would expect from an Imperial Stout or a Doppelbock. The flavour has a bit of coffee bitterness followed by chocolate and the burn of alcohol.

Dec 16, 2009 Pours a deep brown with a nice tan head. Rich and delicious, with dark coffee, sugar, and a strong stout underneath. Aroma is beautifully complex, and the taste is almost perfect, and very smooth and drinkable. A thumbs way up on this one.

Dec 16, 2009 Side by side southern tier blind tasting with Choklat, Mokah, and Jahva. Solid black, big frothy tan head. Aroma- dark chocolate, roast, cream, spice, alcohol. Taste- mild coffee, thick milk chocolate sweetness. Semi-sweet oaty finish with alcohol and white pepper spiciness. Thin body with a creamy sweetness.

Dec 13, 2009 Bottle - Pours black with a bit tan head. Smell is sweet, with bourbon, raisins, whiskey, toffee, teriyaki, and black licorice. Taste is dark malt, soy sauce, bourbon, and a bit of booze. Big, roasty, and decadent, though not a ton of coffee. The coffee notes I got were so dark and rich that they mingle closely with the roast notes and become indistinguishable. It’s chewy in the mouth, but has some biting carbonation that’s a bit unpleasant. Still, a wonderful beer.

Dec 13, 2009 So this was the first of the Stouts I tried from Southern Tier. And I’m not a big coffee guy in general, but I still found enjoyment in this beer. Dark brown pour with a light brown thick head. Its aroma was consumed by the jahva beans. same with the taste. Roasted malts all the way through. Good brew.

Dec 12, 2009 Flaske: Sort øl med et minimalt skumhoved. Ikke så god karbonering på denne øl, som Southern Tier ellers normalt har. Sød kaffe i duften. Smagen er kaffe domineret med en fin bitterhed fra malten. En tand sød og mundfylden er ikke så imponerende. Ellers fin øl.

Dec 12, 2009 Bomber Bottle. Dark deep pour with a thin head. Very strong coffee with a rich dark roast taste. Powerful enough to keep you warm on those cold days. Long lasting pallet

Dec 10, 2009 A: Pours as dark as night with a nice 2 finger head. The head dies down to just a small ring on the outer edge of the glass but there is some very wide lacing and oily residue left behind on the outside of the glass.
S: Big dark aroma. I smell coffee, toffee, and chocolate covered cherries. This one malty masterpiece. Can’t wait for the taste.
T: Love it! Very malty brew right from the start. Dark espresso, bakers chocolate, and cherries. It finishes with a hint of charcoal and the bitterness of fresh hops. The alcohol is present, but not over the top. A very well crafted beer no doubt about it.
M: Very thick and oily. You could pass it off as brownie batter, very good brownie batter at that.
