Feb 7, 2010 Bottle. Jet black with a minimal coffee-colored head. Extreme coffee in the smell...smells like fresh-roasted black coffee. Intense, deep flavor. Some chocolate in the flavor too. Extremely creamy, very little bubbling/carbonation in the taste. Love it.

Feb 7, 2010 This company really makes some great brews this was the 1st time I had their magic elixirs. The aroma is a very dark roasted crystal malts and complimentary dark very rich espresso bean roast. The beer is a dark black opaque body with a tan head that quickly dissipates to a thin collar with a little beige foam on top. The taste is full of very smoky, richly roasted espresso coffee overtones. The undertones consist of hazlenut and nutty flavors. The palate is astringent coffee roast with a feel that is assertive, but flees before being rude or excessive.

Feb 6, 2010 Ahhhh I could ramble on about this forever!!! I’ll keep it short. Pours a rich, velvety black with a teeny little dark tan head, appears rich, translucent brown when held up to the light. Aromas of coffee, coffee and more coffee, lots of dark, rich roasted malt notes, bitter/baking chocolate. Taste is similar, incredibly rich and complex without the weird mouthfeel some intense stouts end up with. Amazing beer, wish I had another one.

Jan 31, 2010 11.5 oz bottle. Pours a thick short lived mocha head, with heavy lacing, over black (SRM 40) body......nose is heavy coffee, slight chocolate, bit of toffee/ caramel.....taste is very heavy coffee to start, then light chocolate along with sweet dried fruits (cherry, raisin, plum), with a touch of molasses, finishing with a lingering medium bitterness,,,,,mouth feel is thick and chewy, carbonation adds a pleasant Oatmeal Stout like creaminess. This is a lovely rich, chewy creation. It would be interesting to know how much of the coffee was from the roasted malts, and how much from the coffee. BJCP 9/3/18/5/8

Jan 31, 2010 So I go up to see Phil and he has a bottle of this open. Take it home and finish it, he says... It’s very good. Chocolate, coffee, vanilla, earthy-roast bitterness; boozy, rich, smooth, earthy with a flavour that lasts, like, forever. Great looking label too.

Jan 30, 2010 Pours jet black with an inch of light brown head into the snifter. The aroma and taste was dominated by thick, chewy coffee beans. Some chocolate made its way in during the finish. An excellent desert beer.
