Oct 6, 2009 (bottle) A black body and small, disappearing head. Aroma sweet and slightly bitter with dark roasted coffee and malt, earth, alcohol. Full, creamy body. Flavor is sweet with milky coffee and chocolate, nuts, wood, dried fruit. Very smooth; bitterness only kicks in at the back but lingers in the aftertaste. Mouthfeel is sticky, and chewy.

Oct 4, 2009 12 oz bottle served in a clear pint glass. Pour was motor oil black with about 2 fingers of slushy like tan head. Nose was French roasted coffee, malt, and chocolate. Taste was black coffee with a small hunk of chocolate melted in there for just a slight sweetness, so that it doesn’t taste sugared down for effect. Very strange, more of a coffee liquor, though not strong, than a beer. I was surprised because it tasted like a 13% ++ ABV, rather than 8.1%. Though not bad, I am not a big fan of this.

Oct 2, 2009 bottle coutesy of daknole, thank you! pours a very thick black pur with almost no head. nose is of a very nutty, rich rosied cup of coffee. but there is a slight acetone finish to the nose. flavor is nice and roasty, but has a hotness as if it were 14%abv or something, slightly odd. still a damn good beer, should maybe be waxed or corked.

Sep 30, 2009 Really big and tastes like coffee - just what you’d expect - but Terrapin has really impressed me. I hope their distribution does some growing.

Sep 21, 2009 12oz bottle poured into snifter. Aroma has a roasted chocolate and licorice scent. A dry roasted coffee flavor explodes in your mouth which quickly leaves and leaves behind a bittersweet taste.

Sep 21, 2009 Bottle 355 ml
Appearance: pours as thick dark brown sludge with medium lighter gourmet brown crown.4-
Nose: espresso dark feel ,roast with hint of cocoa beans , brown malts with hint of hop and dry alcohol. Solid heavy nose. This great aroma goes even deeper with time giving impression of fuller rounded character.
Flavor/Palate : full bodied. Bold coffee dark roast , smoky with tar with based brown malts. Sticky , earthy , black soil noted. Not for everyone , fairly dry for me to enjoy such approach. Dry late showing alcohol.
