4.4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
Courtesy of Cavie. Pours a nice dark color and smells amazing. Tastes of coffee and heaven. Definitely worth trying.
4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bottle from Sprinkle! Very dark brown color with a lovely tan head. Aroma is a LOVELY warm coffee. Roasted grounds, some toasted notes, tobacco ash, and happy thoughts. Taste is equally as impressive. Great coffee, roast and smoke flavor. Well done and very drinkable.

On Tap. Pours black with brown notes. Small tan head, too. Aroma is mainly coffee. Taste is a bit coffee. Very acidic and ashy. Damn that’s a downer.

UPDATED: APR 15, 2011 Bottle thanks to drfabulous. Pours black with tan head. Little retention. Nose is freshly made coffee, hazlenuts, chocolate and toasted malts. Taste is very fresh coffee, coffee beans, chocolate, toasted malts and vanilla. One of the better regular stouts I’ve ever had.

Pours opaque black, no question on the color. No light passes through.
Nose has a good mixture of chocolate, roasted malt, and espresso aromas. Espresso quality comes through nicely on the palate as well, even with some of the typical off-flavors that one finds when ordering espressos at places that don’t exactly give a perfect pull.
Medium to almost full body and good coffee flavors on the finish. This is a contemplative beer, one to enjoy, but not necessarily a beer to have 2 or 3 in one sitting.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
A: Pours pitch black with a tan head that leaves lacing along the sides of the glass.
S: Espresso and dark chocolate waft from this brew with a malty finish.
T: The taste mimicks the smell, but is more dominated
P: Well carbonated with a slightly sticky finish.

Pours near-black with almost no head (duh...it’s a stout). Nose is coffee, coffee, coffee....smells EXACTLY like a cup of good joe. Flavor is pretty spot on for a slightly burned cup of java with a touch of hoppiness. I happen to love coffee so this stuff is right down my alley. The finish is a little on the short side and you could make an argument that this is a one dimensional beer...but screw it....I like it a lot.
4.9 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20
The best stout I have ever had. Aroma is overpoweringly coffee, smells almost exactly like a bag of freshly ground french roast beans. Tastes like a thick, creamy coffee with a substantial mouthfeel. You have to try this one.
