Feb 8, 2010 The aroma is burnt coffee malt. Nutty toffee and caramel. Hazelnut and brandy, bourbon whiskey.
Appears jet black. Creamy, puffy light brown head. Intimidating.
The flavor is supremely bitter. Burnt coffee and cookies. Nutty with some nutmeg and toffee sweetness. A bitter finish. Hints of chocolate and charcoal. Mocha.
Feels thick and oily but with a gritty tension to it. Strong, challenging, outstanding.

Feb 7, 2010 I had this both on tap and in a bottle. Solid black in the glass, go figure, with a nice tan head. I remember a strong roasty nose, with definite licorice and chocolate notes. The flavor, unsurprisingly, was similar, with a strong roasted malt backbone and notes of wood, coffee bitterness, and some earthy hops. Quite a pleasure to drink. I’m just disappointed it came and went so quickly.

Feb 7, 2010 Reviewed 1/1/2010 (Bottled 10409):
Pours a nearly pitch black color body, average tan color head, diminishing. Strong dark chocolate aroma, sweet like a milk stout. Bitter chocolate taste. Sweet. Some bitterness on the end, but balanced pretty well. Some bitter coffee taste on the end. Thick, not as bitter as it warms. somewhat chalky or something.
