Bottle thanks to Acknud!!! Black beer nice dark brown head. Smells of coffee. Beer has a nice mouthfeel with some good stout tones, but finish tastes like the old coffee grounds that you throw away once you are done brewing coffee. Just too bitter and strong old coffee flavor. Even so it is pretty decent.

Jeckyl and Hyde, Yin and Yang, Good and Bad. This was that beer. While it carried with it a really inticing aroma of chocolate covered espresso beans, treacle, and toffee, the flavor really was a let down. It had a nice coffee/dark chocolate beginning and then, bam...nothing. It just dropped off the palate in an instant and what was left reminded me of drinking a seltzer water. A nice black hue, medium bodied with a one-finger thick tan head. I think if the beer had more depth of flavor, it would score much higher with me. Decent beer, but could have been much, much better.

12oz bottle. Pours opaque with a thin tan head.....light lacing. Tons of fresh coffee and cocoa dust in the nose.

Pours inky black with a very quickly receding mocha head. Aroma of cold coffee, black strap molasses, roast bitterness, and wood. Taste of cold, french press coffee, strong roast, earthy oak flavors. Mouthfeel is full bodied with soft carbonation.

poured thick black with small head that slowly crept up from the bottom of the glass and disapeared quickly. Aroma of coffee- taste is ok - not overly complex but drinkable

12oz bottle-pours a light brown ring for a head and black color. Aroma is wow coffee. Taste is coffee, some hops bitterness. Well done for the coffee lover, which isn’t me.
