Almost black and covered by an exemplar beige head. Roasted ground coffee hit the nose like it wants to hurt it. Pecan and cerealic + cocoa malt contribution manage to cut a bit the fat creaminess. Full bodied, almost flat texture. Absent acidity. Pleasant floral hops participate in balancing this biggy. The final word is that we’re facing a very tasty and focused coffee stout that, while not very complex, still manage to hint at 3-4 other things which is more than average.

GABF 2011. Heavy dark with a fading tan head. Aroma is big with espresso and some cocoa. Huge body with a big flavor of espresso, dark chocolate, roasted grains, more chocolate, and more coffee. A little burnt, but very sweet, rich, and complex.

sample at GABF on 9/30/11. black pour with a 1 finger off white head. solid coffee nose with deep malts. sweet medium body with more coffee, roasted malts and light chocolate. rather light finish filled with more coffee.

Draft, 1 oz sample at the GABF in Denver. Nice jet black opaque color. Aroma of dark coffee, chocolate, and roasted malts. A bit milky. Balanced bitterness. Slighly creamy body. Medium carbonation.

Deep almost black pour with creamy tan head and lace. Huge aroma of espresso/burnt coffee. Large coffee flavor, sweet roasted malt. Smooth full bodied with good carbonation. A very nice beer for a coffee lover.

on tap-pours a light brown head and black color. Aroma is jalepeno, espresso, dark malt. Taste is jalapeño, sweet espresso, dark malt, ashy, hint of astringent hops. Not my taste but nicely done.

Aroma is a steady mix of burnt roast and hops along with rich roasted coffee and mild chocolate notes. The body is deep black with a fluffy mocha head. Burnt dark malts, black chocolate, fairly hoppy and long lingering coffee notes. Not the greatest range, but what is present is tasty and enjoyable.

jet black pour small tan head nice lacing. Smells just like espresso w/ some chocolates. Palate is nice velvety and creamy. Flavor is butters, esspresso & some chocolats.. I like this... one of the best coffee stouts by far.

GABF 2006. The beer pours to a very dark black body with a really brown head. The aroma is really espresso’y. Rich and full of coffee. The flavor is rich with coffee. Sweet syrupy base. Quite balanced and well made. Rich roasty palate.

Pour is opaque black with a thin tan head...smell is rich smokey coffee almost peppery...coffee...all the way through from start to finish...
