Oct 1, 2008 Bottle purchased from BevMo in Redlands, CA poured a very black color with a meadium tan head. The sweet aroma was bittersweet dark chocolate and roasted coffee. Tons of chocolate in the flavor with an excellent bitter finish. This was quite tasty!

Oct 1, 2008 Oily black, with almost no tan head. Aroma is fantastically chocolate, even when cold. Taste is roasty, bitter, chocolatey, and vinous all at once. Finish is sharply bitter and acidic, partially owing to its highish carbonation. (GF 5/10) $7/22oz

Sep 29, 2008 Pours jet black with small, dark tan head. There’s not a lot of carbonation, but the mouthfeel is still decent. The aroma wasn’t what I expected: some chocolate, alcohol, roasted malts, and slight coffee, but nothing spectacular. Taste was similar. Black coffee finish.

Sep 29, 2008 Bottle at patrick767’s event. Small tan head with good retention, fair amount of lacing, opaque, no visible carbonation, and a black hue. The aroma was chocolate, burnt, malt, and oats. The flavor was chocolate, bitter hops, coffee, slightly burnt tasting, and a semi-dry finish. A tingly and oily mouthfeel and medium bodied. Nice balance, another fine brew by Stone, worthy of a try, and I would drink this one again.

Sep 29, 2008 Draft @ Uber. Black with a nice mocha head. Very nice roastiness, chocolate, caramel in the aroma. Taste is roasty with chocolate and espresso. Not too impressed.
