3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. This is a really tasty stout indeed. You’re always a little concerned with additives as to whether they’re going to be a gimmick or not, but this one certainly works. Basically, a rich dark stout that pours well but with amped up coffee characters (unsurprisingly). Really very nice indeed.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Tap @ Spuyten Duyvil. Poured into a wine glass. Color is black with beige head. Aroma had alcohol mixed with chocolate and of course coffee. Taste has a very present bitterness and roastiness Light on body. Past the coffee aroma which is not even all that, this beer offers very little.

Bottle. Near black with a thick tan head. Aroma of coffee with some chocolate. Lots of coffee in the taste, quite dry and bitter. Fullish bodied, lightly carbonated. Very good.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
UPDATED: OCT 9, 2006 Quite tasty beer, strong espresso aroma upfront, not much else, medium bodied, pretty sharp and dry bitterness of the coffee in the flavor, some sweet-sour notes, a bit unbalanced but overall it’s a good and unique stout.
