Cappuciono and Smoky dusty Aroma.
Coffee palate and some chicory malt flavor up front but not much after it, kind of a let down. It could be a good porter for sessioning, and is not a bad beer, but not exceptional either.

Sep 30, 2008 12 oz bottle from Supermarket Liquors, Cheyenne, WY; Nose of vanilla, caramel, and toasted nutty chocolate; Hazy dark brown with a medium tan head; flavor has coffee, chocolate, minor bitterness; finish is vanilla and very mild bitterness. Not a 3.0 beer!

Sep 27, 2008 12 ounce bottle. Thanks Richard. Pours a dark black color which reveals itself to be more of a ruby hue when light shines in. A large beige colored head. The aroma is very nice; tons of roasted malts, caramel, a large vanilla aspect,and some light chocolate. The flavor is full of lightly roasted malt, caramel, some light hops, rich milky coffee in the middle and a long dry coffee in the finish. Very nice.

Sep 27, 2008 Pours very dark and the head dissipates very quickly. I have to admit, this tasted like mildewing grass. I thought it was gross. I could tell some roasted malts, but the whole nasty mildew flavor just killed me. I have two left, I’m hoping I just had a bad bottle. Will re-rate appropriately if the other two are better.
