Jan 9, 2009 Had to go out west for a bottle. Black obsidian body, ruby edges, light brown frothy head. Aroma was chocolate, oak, banana bread, and some alcohol. Flavor was sweet malt, bittersweet chocolate, roast coffee, smooth bitter finish accentuated by alcohol. Easy drinking and warming.

Jan 4, 2009 This poured an opaque black color with a very very small tan head. Aroma was loaded with fresh coffee grinds and nice roasted notes as well. Flavor is very roasted and lots of coffee flavors, not much sweet chocolateys to be found here at all. This is a very solid everyday drinking stout.

Pours clear dark - black with thick frothy beige - yellowish head.
Aroma is malty with some very nice roasted coffee.
Taste of caramel malt with the coffee being distinct and flavorful, reminiscent of mocha.
After taste is lightly hoppy with a good floral finish.
At 6.4abv, the overall mouthfeel was warming.
An amazing treat.
