Pours a pitch black with a thick, lovely dark brown head that disappears after the very first sip, leaving small patches of foam and nice lace. Aroma is pungent and heavenly - strong notes of alcohol & chocolate liquor, molasses and sweet dark malt too. Taste = LOVE. Strong roasted barley and great hops to balance still don’t cover the strong alcoholic taste. Wonderful creamy body is perfectly blended from start to finish - at no point do I feel it change texture in my mouth, it’s perfectly silky smooth. Fine carbonation. I am wracking my brain to think of something to complain about, some reason not to give this a perfect 5, but I really, really can’t. This beer is love.

Sep 7, 2008 Thanks to Martha for this delicious beer. Black with a brown creamy head. Coffee chocolate and roasty and floral aroma. Sticky syrupy palate. Sweet very roasty bitter dark chocolate taste with nice cherry notes, juniper berries, and chocolate malt tastes to the finish.

Sep 6, 2008 A deep dark black stout with a thin dark brown head, viscous and menacing. A pleasant sweet caramel chocolate with funky creamy character, dried dark fruits, and soy sauce. In mouth, an intense bitter chocolate, coffee, vanilla, warming alcohol and dried fruits, a mother of a stout, with class and clout. Tasted Dec. 2006.

Sep 6, 2008 Pours an oil thick black with thick brownish head.
Aroma reminded me of soja mixed with chocolat matls.
Taste sweet (some vanilla), sugary, very thick and heavy beer. This is close to a meal in a bottle.
Mouthfeel of has a good alcohol presence and leaves a nice light coffee aftertaste. Lightly hoppy with some chocoloate bitterness, some barley, malty.
A great brew that you want to enjoy slowly and not cold.

does not count  Sep 5, 2008 Aroma was odd - sometimes a great coffee, chocolate, cararmel smell, but occasionally it would smell horribly of ethanol. The appearance was black, thick, oily, with very little head. Flavor was fantastic - varied flavors emerge and all of them taste dark. Very thick, meal-like beer. Just great.

Sep 3, 2008 This beer is fkn big. A monster of malts and hops. Took me over two hours to finish. Blacker than black with average head but outragous lacing. Aroma is of cocoa and chocolate. Taste of intense creamy malts and medium to high hops. Good god!
