Oct 22, 2008 Updated: Dec 26, 2008Pour was solid black nice thick brown head. Nose chocolate, strong coffee, raisin, plum, cocoa powder, even caught a little blood...awesome? Flavor is hoppy, lots of coffee and chocolate. Nice alchohol warmth throughout the stages. Roboust hoppy charcole at first then settles down with the alchohol bringing out the coffee and caramel. So roasty very fun to drink. This is by far the best stout ive ever had. Im ordering another bottle to age!

Oct 19, 2008 Updated: Nov 30, 2008750 ml bottle from Market of Choice. Last beer I drank in Oregon before flying back east, and did it ever ensure that that coast would need to do a lot to impress with its beer. Black and viscous like oil, this was so smooth going down that I didn’t even notice how fast I was drinking. There’s almost no alcohol taste either, which is astounding in something 12%. It’s beers like this one that make me wonder if I’m missing something by not drinking coffee.

Oct 14, 2008 750 ml bottle. Its been a while since I’ve had a beer infultrate my top ten. That wait is over. Pours black with a luscious brown head that lasted through mid-glass and left lots of sticky brown lace. Very pleasant aroma of coffee, chocolate, and roasted malt. The flavor is simply outstanding. Rich chocolate and coffee abound with some roasted malt also present. The mouthfeel is rich and smooth. Absolutely no hint of the 12% abv. I believe the word decadent applies very well to this beer. Superb!

Oct 11, 2008 750 at room temp. Oil black pour with similar viscosity (overstating a bit to be sure). Thin head with staying power on the edges and light lacing. Tons of smoke, chocolate and coffee in the nose, with obvious malt. Coffee dominates the flavor with a smoked chocolate finish, alcohol is very well masked, but it’s definitely there. Drank with a nice steak and it was phenomenal.
