blutt59 (2042), Dallas, Texas, USA Oct 31, 2009 2008 bottle, really nice deep brown color with malty brown mocha head, aroma has lots of good roasty coffee and chocolate, flavor is slightly sour with medium coffee, roasted nuts and caramel chocolate, lasting viscous finish mcbeyond (10), Newport Beach, California, USA Oct 27, 2009 Nose is heavy with chocolate and coffee, but there is a hint of complexity that should bloom with age. Huge explosion of flavor on the palate without a hint of alcohol. Very viscous with a humongous finish on caramel and toast. One of the most ageworthy beers I’ve tasted. This one will be amazing in five years. lithy (1600), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA Oct 27, 2009 Bottle thanks to StFun. Dark brown, creamy but loose tan head. Lovely hot chocolate aroma, light coffee. Taste is more roasty, green coffee up front, some roasted malt, chocolate, light grassy bitter. WisconsinBeer (514), St Paul, Minnesota, USA Oct 24, 2009 Bottle. Pours a deep black color with a medium head. Flavor is thick and deep, notes of dark chocolates and fresh brewed coffee. Toffee, cognac, alcohol, coco wheats, this beer is insanely deep and welcoming. Full bodied and well done. Top notch. brokephibroke (137), Mead, Colorado, USA Oct 20, 2009 Over the top delicious. On tap at the Neighborhood in San Diego. Coffee. But for sure the palate is what sets this masterpiece apart. Jonte (801), Gothenburg, Sweden Oct 19, 2009 Bottle. Bishops Arms Järntorget, Porterveckan. Black colour with a brown head. Aroma: roasted, coffee, coffee beans, some green/vegetal notes, dark berries. Flavor: roasted malt, coffee, dark berries, chocolate, caramel/toffee, some alcohol, some hop bitterness. caresville (106), Vernon, New Jersey, USA Oct 19, 2009 Split bottle with Paulp, drank as a celebration beer as the yankees beat the angels in 13 innings. pours straight black with a little ring of mocha on top. smells of dark chocolate and coffee among other things. tastes roasty, chocolatesque with tons of coffee.
