UPDATED: APR 18, 2019 16 ounce can from Hop City. A dark pour. A lot of bitterness in nose and taste. Bitter roast. Maybe infected. Some sour. Drain pour.

UPDATED: DEC 3, 2019 Can. Deep, dark brown with a light tan head. Aroma is coffe. Taste is pretty average, coffee with roasted grains.

Pint can from Sam's Quik Shop. Pours thick, black, with a small soft brown head. Aroma is sweet chocolate, coffee , vanilla, caramel malt. Flavor is dark chocolate, slight metallic notes, coffee beans, brewed coffee, cocoa, light ash.

Pint at Barley's. Real dark body with an almost brown head. Smells sweet right off the bat. Rich milk chocolate supports natural coffee bean scents. The body is heavy and sweet, it really pulls off trying to taste like a mocha. That coffee bite provides welcome balance. Heavy chocolate brownie impressions dominate the flavor. It's a nice dessert beer but a pint might be a little excessive of a serving for me.

Pint with no canning date. Pours black with a sizzling head. Nose is dark biscuit, soy, milk chocolate, berry and a bit of earthy dark roasted coffee. Front flavor is berries, coffee, caramel and chocolate. Finish has cocoa powder, char and malted milk ball. Light-medium body is airy and foamy with a little too much carbonation. The cacao and coffee provide an acidic, astringent palate sweep that's a little harsh but a necessary check on the sweet leaning brew.

Sample at the taproom. Brown-black color with a medium beige head that dissipates gradually to a film. Small patches of lace. Aroma of cofffee, malt and chocolate. Medium body with flavors of roasted coffee, malt and cocoa. The finish is roasty with a coffee and malt aftertaste. Above average overall.

Tallboy can, been in my fridge for a long time, from Whole Foods in Greenville I think: blackish pour, thin sturdy brown head. aroma of roasted malts and coffee. tastes are dark chocolate, vanilla, fresh coffee, milk chocolate, roasty, sweet fruits, astringent and then coffee biter, maple, caramel. slick medium palate. interesting coffee-heavy sipper.

Pours near black with a lingering tan head. Nose is lots of coffee and roasted malts with some dark fruit and hops in the background. Flavor is rich in coffee with a very heavy roasty finish. Very much exactly what it claims to be.

Black as tar - thick rich taste - maybe a bit bitter for my liking. Definite coffee vibe. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Single from ale yeah. Solid smooth roasted coffee flavors. Bittersweet coffee cocoa. Light and drinkable
