3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
UPDATED: OCT 19, 2008 Update 10/2008. Had again and seemed really creamy compared to before. More mocha also. Almost more like a sweet stout.
Poured black. Pretty thin brown head. Roasty aroma, not real powerful. Inoffensive going down, mostly coffee and licorice. Not bad for a place trying to be fairly main stream. Had this at the Rock Bottom Brewery in Charlotte NC.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
On tap at the Seven Bridges brewpub. Black with a thick, creamy tan head. Roasty nose, light coffee and chocolate. Burnt flavors, mildly roasted coffee and medium bitter chocolate flavors. Just a tad thin. Good.

2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
on tap-pours a tan head that laces with black color. Aroma is sweet. Taste is roasty, dark malt, chocolate with coffee aftertaste. Not my taste but nicely done.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Draft in Jacksonville. The one there is 4.5% not 5.6% as listed here.
<P>
The aroma is a massive dose of chocolate and coffee with accompanying burnt/toasted dark malt notes. The body is full on black and holds a lasting mocha head. Huge coffee component, dark chocolate. Very smooth mouthfeel and clean with well defined flavor demarcations. Nice.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours a jet black color with a light brown head. Aroma is malty, roasty, and some chocolate. Flavor is malty, roasty, and some chocolate.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Sampler at the Nashville location - Poured a dark black/brown with an almost non-existent tan head. Carbonation is very low. Aroma is strong of roasted malts, but has an unpleasant sharp burnt smell (too much black patent malt?). Flavor was also strong of roasted malts and, unfortunately the flavor of burnt malt and the accompanying astringency was definitely present. Disappointing, given its reputation...
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Awesome towering tan head and opaque black body with a thic chocolatey aroma. Chewy and oily on the tongue with a coating chocolate sweetness throughtout, mitigated by a late bitter coffee finish. Nice roastiness settles on the tongue for a long drawn out finish.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Draft in Chattanooga w/ Shag/Clash. Poured the usual dark brown-black color (how black, dunno, lighting was poor), thin initial head, almost a nitrogen type appearance, mediocre lacing. The rest of the experience was pretty run of the mill: light roast, coffee, some chocolate in the aroma and flavor, although the flavor was fairly watery and slightly sour/citrusy? Mouthfeel was thin within style. Drinkable, but not stellar.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Draft - Nashville. Black body but not opaque with frothy white head. Spritsier than a typical stout. Lighter body and lots of carbonation.
