Dec 23, 2007 Glugs out pitch black with an obscene amount of cocoa colored soapy head that dies pretty quick. Draping sheets of lace occur with each sip. Smell of huge roasted coffee beans, coffee grounds, cocoa and a tiny bit of hops. Tastes of the yummy coffee beans, sweet malt, a little hazlenut and a hoppy finish. Mouthfeel is medium with way too much carbonation. Kind of stings. No ABV apparant at all. This would be one of my favorites if it wasnt for the carbonation. Well worth drinking nontheless.

Dec 22, 2007 Fresh 2007 bottle. This brew pours a menacing, thick, pure-black body with a large, foamy, brownish-tan head. After a few minutes, the spongy foam settles to just a tiny rim, leaving minimal spots of lacing behind. The aroma is intensely rich and inviting, with massive notes of espresso, dark chocolate, roasted barley, and dry oats. Right off the bat, you can tell that this is a coffee lover’s dream! Flavors follow suit, with huge espresso flavors dominating the dark chocolate and roasty grains. Oatmeal adds its signature smoothness, which is a much welcomed trait for such an intense coffee beer. The body is pretty thick and oily, bordering on overly sticky, and just shy of annoying. Finishes long and roasty. I practically fantasize about what some bourbon barrel aging would do to this already excellent beer.

Dec 22, 2007 Updated: Jan 6, 2008Bottle. Pours an oily jet black with a two finger lasting tan head that lasts and leaves great lacing. Strong aroma of coffee and roasted malt with hints of caramel and oats in the background. Taste is the same as aroma . Full mouthfeel with a moderate amount of bitterness, medium carbonation, and well hidden alcohol. Very good.

Dec 19, 2007 Bottle. Poured a black color with a super-thick light-brown head. Light aroma of coffee and maybe some vanilla and hops too. Mouthfeel was okay, although more carbonation than I would have preferred. Flavor is pure coffee with a chocolatey finish to it. A pretty good impy stout, although not one of my favorites.

Dec 14, 2007 12 oz. bottle. 2008 vintage. Pours a midnight black with a smallish, one figer thick tan head. Aroma of roasted coffee and dark chocolate. Thick mouthfeel, very big. Coffee notes dominate, but not overpowering at all. Subtle undertones of vanilla. Finish is smooth and creamy. A bit of a bitter finish. Terrapin really knocked this one out of the park.
