May 16, 2009 22 oz. bottle. Pours a deep dark brown color with garnet highlights and a medium dark tan head with good retention. The aroma is dark chocolate, molasses, oatmeal, a hint of dark fruits, and cocoa powder. The flavor is bitter dark chocolate. Hey, the title warned us all. Roasted malts, molasses, oatmeal, and alcohol are also present. This is at times a little hot, but I enjoy it very much. Medium-full bodied and one that I hope tastes as good with a little age on it.

May 10, 2009 Picked up at Five Points Bottle Shop in Athens. July 2008 bottle. Wow, nice chocolate head. Looks lovely. Without a doubt a fine black looking beer. Nice fluffy chocolate head. Nice bitter chocolate flavor. Honestly, the name is very indicative of the aroma. Coffee in the aroma. Smells like a great stout. A very pungent beer. Alcohol is present. Nice coffee/roast/wood finish. Oats due come through. Very sweet flavor at first and then you get that very nuanced mellow flavor. Nice chocolate roast flavor...one of the best. Great brew. Nice and smooth texture.

May 7, 2009 Poured jet black with a small clean head. Lacing littered the sides of the glass.
Aroma is strong of roasted oats, coffee, and deliciousness.
My god this Stone brew. It’s smooth, the oats are playing the sidekick roll to the bitter chocolate and roasted coffee, but the oats come through and the body is just perfect.
Alcohol is hidden very well, but is there and pleasant.

May 6, 2009 Bottle from the Stone Company Store..Pours black as night with a brown dissipating head.. The only thing I can pick up in the smell is some dark chocolate and a little booze...Taste is mostly dark chocolate that lingers for a while.. Very good beer, Smooth and silky.

May 6, 2009 Dark black-brown warm and milky hue. Sweet malty aroma beckons and reveals a super-smooth, silken and sweet body. Really nice and smooth throughout, neither too roasty nor too sweet.
