SIlkscreened 22-oz bottle. Motor oil black, with a viscous look. Chocolate head. Smoky alcohol fumes. Cocoa (very bitter) undertones with some coffee bean action. Thicky oily feel; roasted espresso plus cocoa. Silky smooth. A dessert sipper. I enjoyed it.

Dec 15, 2009 ~ Purchased this 22 oz bomber from New Beer Distributors in Manhattan, NY. This stout pours black with a dark tan head that vanishes into oblivion. It smells of bitter chocolate, coffee, roasted malts, and a touch of alcohol. The taste is amazing! It’s smooth, silky, and highly drinkable. At 9.2% ABV, this went down effortlessly.
A must try. Highly recommended! ~
