Sep 14, 2009 On draft some time ago (date not mentioned) at Rustico in Alexandria VA. Pitch black color with a small wispy dark tan head (though it may have been sitting around for a few minutes before it got to me - didn’t see the actual pour). Aroma is strong coffee, with notes of toffee, chocolates. Flavor is roasted coffee, chocolate. Smooth and creamy, the beer finishes quite nicely.

Sep 10, 2009 Appearance: Arrived at my corner of the bar a jet black body with a lasting half inch of sandy-colored foam riding on top.
Smell: Roasty robust mix of blackened barley and chilled morning time coffee with notes of darkened grains and baker’s chocolate.
Taste: Richly roasted malts soothed and smoothed over with sweetish tastes of chocolate and even dark caramel. Then you get a roasty boost from the Lightly earthy hop bitterness component along with the imparted roastiness from the blackened malts. Though some sugary influences perk up in the back end, giving it a finish akin to an iced coffee sans cream.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation. Fairly smooth mouthfeel.
Drinkability: This one is pretty good for a coffee stout and, as always, I do enjoy seeing a brewery play around and experiment with new brews.

Aug 30, 2009 A deep dark stout with a thin moka head. A very sweetish and oily chocolate aroma, coffee grinds, nice and pleasant moka fudge. In mouth, a bit of light mokacinno coffee, powdery, with light warming alcohol. In mouth, this is a bit of a let down compared to the aroma. On tap at Blue Tusk, July 31 2009.

Aug 24, 2009 On tap The Ginger Man NY
Appearance: dark brown going into black , mid creamy top. 3+
Nose: great refreshing coffee roast aroma. Its character was captured in perfect way. Chewy brown malts followed. Aromatic top. 8+
Flavor/Palate : Full bodied. Bolder heavy on palate. Citric/acidic dark roasted coffee. Its coffee character with time fell apart leaving messed up experience. This one could be quiet good if only …

Aug 12, 2009 Pours black and tastes of chocolate covered espresso beans. I also noticed very slight banana undertones, probably from the yeast.
