Bottle. Aroma is roasted malt, chocolaty and carmelized with some citrus notes. Black color with a brown frothy head of good duration. Flavor is thick as is the mouthfeel. Complex range of flavors. Sticks to and wraps around your tongue. Extremely thick but not syrupy and well carbonated. Bitter chocolaty coffeelike duration with orange, lemony accents and carmelized sugar qualities that all sit on your tongue, mouth and lips. Very good lacing and almost foamy mouthfeel. Seems to be accurately rated and deserving. Excellent overall, the best stout I’ve had.

Aug 18, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Pours a dark brown/black color with a very light brown head. Aroma explodes with the scent of dark chocolate and espresso with a hint of cherry on the end. Heavily bodied, almost liking drinking a meal. Finishes bitter like an espresso. An extraordinarily intense and delicious beer.

Aug 17, 2008 Bottle. Pours very near black with a tan head. Roasted aroma with loads of coffee, wood and a bit of cherry like fruit. Flavor starts sweet with caramel, cherry, and dark chocolate, then moves to coffee and wood, and finished on the roasted coffee that is present throughout with some additional hoppy bitterness. Incredible.

Aug 15, 2008 Poured a very very dark brown with a thin brown head. Aroma was strong with coffee and chocolate, with a little bit of hops in there. The taste has a sweet start with a stong cofee-bitter finish. The palate was syrupy and coated the throat on its way down. This is an excellant beer, but not an everyday drink.
