12 oz bottle pours opaque, dark and inky. Small tan head sticks around and laces well. Aroma is dark roasty malt notes. Dark chocolate and burnt coffee. Body is medium with subdued carbonation. Taste mirrors the aroma, as dark roasty notes dominate. Decent but not stellar.

Aug 27, 2008 Bottled. Poured black with a short-lived cap of beige head. The aroma picked up cold, dry-roasted coffee with just a touch of sour dark fruit that really worked for it. The flavor was also coffee-focused with a more pronounced sour fruit and woody impression.. finished dry with coffee, toasted oats, and some residual sourness.. most likely a bit past its prime, but still enjoyable. Medium-bodied, spicy, and drier on the palate with plenty of coffee roast.. the sourness was actually refreshing on the finish. Solid.

Jul 30, 2008 12 oz. bottle poured into shaker- poured nontransparent squid ink black, some tan bubbles around the glass for a head, low carbonation. Aroma of cofee, well roasted malt, and dark toffee. Hits the mouth with a high-medium body, coffee taste hits you like a freight train with no brakes right from the starts and lasts well after the finish, a note of cream on the end as it tails off. Out of balance, but sometimes you need that from a beer.

Jun 24, 2008 Bottle. Pours pretty darn dark with a respectable tan head. I enjoy the coffee presence in the aroma: solidly roasty, sharp, and well defined. Some ashtray notes and slightly sour cream ar noted as well. The mouthfeel is slightly prickly and of pretty average density. The coffee carries over well into the flavor, distinct, genuine, and sharp. There is a faint creamy sweetness and a touch of mocha and something just a bit sour in the finish. I really enjoy drinking this beer. I can’t say it’s the best coffe stout I’ve ever had, but I can drink a lot of these and have no qualms with it.

Jun 11, 2008 This is a palate destroyer, so make sure you rinses thoroughly after trying this one. Pours a dark brown body with a semi watery body. medium sized head with a pleasent lightly roasted coffee aroma. Mouthfeel is semi dry but also very light. Starts off sweet and burnt tasting, and ends with a lingering finish of cocoa.

Jun 5, 2008 Smell is coffee - but almost a sour note in the background. Flavor is pale and non-impressive. Just like drinking a weak coffee at Dennys.
