Jan 18, 2008 Not bad. Could have been a little tastier. Big coffee smell but the finish was lame. Similar to Lagunitas Capp. Stout.

Jan 13, 2008 2007 bottle. Pours motor oil black with thinly forming chocolate head. Nose is less coffee than one might expect, with some fruity chocolatey undertones. Oatmeal shows up on the palate with nice body and grainy malty dominant flavor, coffee contributing nice depth towards the mildly hoppy finish. A nice, not too overwhelming coffee imp.

Jan 11, 2008 Updated: Jul 16, 2008Thanks to KP and pint_size for bottles!
Pours pitch black with a huge staying tan head in a Duvel tulip. Smell is a nice sharp ground coffee aroma predominantly, with some creaminess as well. Taste is nicely creamy with an oatmeal like silky body and bold flavor of coffee. Very smooth, oily, and drinkable. Nice coffee flavor, oatmeal creaminess and goes down very easy with very light carbonation. Great beer.

Jan 10, 2008 Pours a thick black liquid with a very thin dark beige head. The aroma is of dark roasted, almost burnt coffee. Very smooth mouth feel leads to a smoth coffee taste with a nice malty finish with slight dark chocolate flavors. Very drinkable when enjoyed at the correct temperature.

Jan 9, 2008 Best stout I’ve had so far. This is a masterpiece.
Glugs out pitch, pitch black with a nice tan head that fades out to a ring around the edge of the glass.
Smells ridiculously wonderful. Deep, dark coffee and chocolate, lots of roasted malts.
Smooth creamy taste of roasted coffee beans and chocolate. Perfectly blended and very drinkable.
I could have this for breakfast every morning......and I mean EVERY morning...
Delicious.

Jan 4, 2008 Pours thick and dark black. Nice two inch tan head. All coffee in the aroma. Thick, creamy mouthfeel. Taste dominated by coffee and mild notes of chocolate. I like this years version better than ’06.
