Jun 20, 2008 Updated: Jun 3, 2009Bottle at Boston’s Bistro & Pub in Dayton.
A hardcore stout. Black in color. Coffee, chocolate, and roasted malt for the nose and tongue to enjoy. The flavor contains a slightly bitter finish. The palate is just amazing, thick and syrupy. Top of the line stout.

Jun 19, 2008 second entry on ratebeer, 2000th rating "on paper". Black, like syrup, with a dark brown and good head. Smell of coffee and chocolate, with a bit of treacle and melassis. Bitter black coffee and black chocolate in the taste, with an edge of herbs and liquorice (like coughing-sirup). Bitter aftertaste and softly burning alcohol. A great way to celebrate my 2000th rating and my girlfriend’s birthday. Thanks to Miketd (for the beer, not the grilfriend).

Jun 17, 2008 Used motor oil pour. Is it a sout barley wine? Nice coffee/chocolate malt nose and taste. Maybe too high on the % (only negative I can come up with). Well balanced. Thick and rich and chocolit.... Wow.

Jun 17, 2008 Dark brown head that fully diminishes. Color is black. Aroma - big strong coffee, dark chocolate and roasted/toasted. A hint of smoke, as well. This is one of the fullest bodied beers I’ve ever had. Really outstanding - got better an it warned to room temperature.

Jun 16, 2008 Updated: Jan 7, 2009Bottle. Pours inky black with a bubbly and swirly brown head. Coffee, chocolate, and a spicy acidity dominate the nose. Taste is astounding. A smooth, coating mouthfeel brings lots of chocolate and coffee with undertones of a meaty-smoky teriyaki. Lingers with a delicious aftertaste of roasty bitterness and just a touch of alcohol.

Jun 15, 2008 Pours a dark brown to jet black with a milk chocolate thin head. The aroma is filled with dark chocolate, teriyaki, hops, and alcohol. My tongue is hit with a tingly acidic coffee flavor, followed by dark chocolate, liquorice, and some cherry. The palate is thick and smooth. Lots of things going on all over my palate, but very well balanced. It’s a bit bitter in the finish, but I can forgive that.

Jun 14, 2008 Updated: Jun 16, 2008Bottle into snifter. Pours thick, opaque motor oil black-hole black with no head. Aroma of coffee and cocoa, vanilla, smells old. Taste is coffee, very roasty, bit of cocoa, with a notable hop sourness emerging prior to the finish, as noted a few reviews down. Finishes with a dry, hoppy, roasty bitterness. Palate is thick and viscous, but with light, crisp carbonation. Bottle aged for about 3 months prior to drinking, but the hoppiness early on is still a bit much for me. Not my favorite example of the style.
