Jun 17, 2009 08 bottle thanks to Daknole! Perfect pitchblack pour with a nice dark creamy tan beige head. Nice oaky roasty heavy aroma following the oil pour. Leather, tobacco, vanilla, molasses and chocolate. The flavor is the same, but the coffee really shines through a lot more in the flavor. Pretty fully bodied with perfect minimal carbonation. Overall: not my favorite style anymore, but a great example of it. Very tasty and drinkable. Thanks Dak!

Jun 15, 2009 Bottle. Quite thick oily appearance with a thin manila head head that subsides to a ring. Redolent of coffee grinds, syrup, wood, cream, and caramel. Flavor was first sweet chocolate, creamy, then strongly bitter coffee beans, syrup, vanilla, woody, slightly malty, mellow chocolate, then alcohol. Palate was very thick and warming with a linger cacao finish. They aren’t joking about the amount of coffee used in this beer; it’s awesome.

Jun 11, 2009 Thanks Emacgee. Deep black pour with a brown head. Coffee aroma hits you as you open the bottle and begin to pour. Roasted malt and sweet aroma are also present. taste is of coffee, roasted malt, goodness. Leaves a dry aftertaste with a little bitterness from the coffee. Slightly chewy. The alcohol aroma comes out a bit more as it warms up. These two guys make tasty beers. I need to go to Athens and see them in person. I’ll check the train fares.

Jun 5, 2009 Pours pitch black with almost no head. Nose of coffee, sweet malt, oats, and some chocolate. Flavor is complex with coffee taking over, sweet malt, some dark fruit, bitter hops through the finish. Oily and smooth mouth feel.

May 31, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours black with small tan head. Aroma is strong with coffee, dark chocolate and some vanillla/ Flavor is roasted malt, lots of coffee with some chocolate and touch of vanilla. Palate is smooth and creamy for a coffee stout. Pretty damn good beer and is on par with Founders Breakfast Stout and Peche Mortel.

May 23, 2009 Bottle. Pours a solid black, medium tan/brown head. Aroma is sweet malt, coffee and chocolate. Chocolate and coffee dominate the flavor profile, malt note, some vanilla hidden in the background. Finish is dry and slightly bitter.
