Jan 16, 2009 Near black pour with a low almond head. Odd vegetal aroma, like hemp or American cigarettes, not very appetizing actually. But the flavour is very nice-- generous bitter roast with coffee and bitter chocolate elements. Bitter dry finish, medium bodied.

Jan 14, 2009 12 oz. bottle at Lunar Brewing. Poured a dark, black/brown, with a diminishing, tan head and thick, clingy lacing. Aroma is a modest blend of roastiness, malt,and light touches of coffee and dark chocolate. Taste is a little earthy, with a medium hop bitterness, woodiness, and light, burnt coffee notes. A touch of sweetness comes through at the end in the flavor, which is as modest in intensity as the aroma. Medium body and mid-dry finish. Good dry stout.

Jan 12, 2009 Sampled in a little 12 oz. Has a great kick to it. So worth a try. Pours motor oil black!

Jan 11, 2009 Pours a black brown color with red highlights and a large rocky beige head. Decent lacing on the side of the glass. Nose is dark chocolate, roasted coffee, sour malt, and a hint of that ultra bitter almost wet vegetables scent. Taste is dry roasted coffee, expresso beans, more chocolate, and a burnt component lingers on the palate for a fairly long finish. Mouthfeel is medium. Very serviceable.

Jan 9, 2009 This is a strong stout for the abv. Coffee, roasted malt, milk chocolate, and caramel. A good stout, definitely worth it.

Jan 8, 2009 Aroma slightly like coffee but more roastiness topped with a dense tan head. Very dark with faint red highlights. Very roasty and burnt, too much for my taste as it drowns out any other characteristics of the flavor.

Dec 28, 2008 Looking at the cliffs on the bottle is kind of haunting seeing the skull...Large, creamy, tan head with a brown tinged black body. Great lacing and retention. Strong aroma for the abv with tons of mocha and Starbucks coffee. Milk chocolate, vanilla, and a touch of cinnamon too. Taste is sweet at first with lots of smooth roast. Long duration finishing with a bit of leather and bitterness. Really good, tasteful stuff for the ABV. A bit rough on the mouth and a touch over carbonated. Water like. Good beer overall, very solid small stout!
