Jun 17, 2007 Pours black with garnet highlights and a rocky, tan head that laces nicely. The nose is of molasses, chocolate and roasted malts. The mouthfeel is medium/full-bodied, tacky, and lively with a roasted bitter finish. The flavor is molasses, light chocolate, and roasted malts with a dry, bitter roasted finish. I was hoping for a bit more of the chocolate flavor to come through, but it’s quite tasty nevertheless. This is one of my favorite dry stouts.

Apr 18, 2008 I thought this was just okay. Nothing really to write home about. To me that was a little too roasty and dry, almost to the point of being burnt. Some licorice and some roasted chocolate and coffee notes, and again with this brewery, you have to add too much hops to everything.

Sep 14, 2006 Aroma is of coffee and chocolate. The color is a nice black with a decent tan head. Pleasent coffee roastedness and dark chocolate flavors dominate.

Nov 19, 2008 Crushed with Jakebra. Roasty, coffee-e, some fruitiness in it somewhere. Interesting flavors in there, kinda yummy, but not as intense as just about every other Avery.

Aug 31, 2004 WOW. When this brew warmed up a bit, it was wonderful. Pours opaque with a nice tan head. The flavor had a super coffee flavor with a nice bitter finish. Again this is a wonderful brew.

Aug 11, 2006 Updated: Aug 13, 200612 oz bottle from Arctic Liquors online. Average size tan head, Dissipates quickly down to 1/2". Beer is black. Very thick pour.
Roasted coffe/chocolate aroma. Medium bodied. Strong wallop on the intial taste. Bitter coffee flavor. Finishes with a lingering bittersweet aftertaste, more bitter than sweet and loses it’s flavor in the dry finish. Less hop and more malt and alcolhol would improve this.
Well carbonated and just a tad too hoppy. Take away the black color and the aroma and this actually tastes more like an IPA than a stout. Will try it again.
