DocHop (201), College Park, Maryland, USA Jun 3, 2008 Pours a very dark fudge brown with a tall and lathery thick brown head. Fantastic coffee aroma, way more sweet then roasted with some background chocolate oat scents. Taste is sweet almost fruity for just a second and then all coffee. The body is very smooth and creamy with a long lasting coffee/earthy aftertaste. Finish is a little spicy too. Hides the ABV well, very easy to drink.
AmicusBeer (7), Toronto, Ontario, Canada does not count Oct 13, 2008 Think stong chocolate coffee aroma. Pours think with a nice head. Very stong coffee nose. Not a session beer. Great desert beer. Great match with chocolate. Strykzone (1020), Wood River, Illinois, USA Oct 12, 2008 A beautiful pour, it is black, thick, and substantial with a two toned head of tan and brown. Two fingers in size. Aroma is iced coffee with roasted notes, whiskey, and dark fruit. Flavor is delicious and complex. Strong coffee, dark chocolate, alcohol, raisins. Feel is smooth and powdery. Flavors welded together beautifully as temp rose. This beer is incredibly well crafted and is absolutely delicious. A world class effort. Jonte (403), Gothenburg, Sweden Oct 12, 2008 Bottle. Black color with a lasting brown head. Aroma: Roastiness, espresso, a bit of sweetness and caramel. Flavor: Roastiness/bitterness, lots of coffee/espresso, some chocolate as well. The alcohol is mostly hidden. Creamy and dry mouthfeel. Very nice if you are a stout and coffee fan, but maybe a bit one-dimensional luttonm (54), Seattle, Washington, USA Oct 11, 2008 Bottle,( one of two) thanks very much pyrozoid!
Pours jet black, blacker than the coffee I brew at home (in Seattle). Outstanding lush and thick brown head which also reminds me of coffee. Nose is all toasted beans with some sweet malt. Mouthfeel is luscious but not too rich. deep coffee notes in the taste balanced by roasted malt and a touch of sweet mocha. Sprite carbonation is lively on the tongue. Wish I could have a cup of this in the morning! Utterly terrific Bartzilla (403), San Diego, California, USA Oct 11, 2008 Oh yeah! Shit yeah! Thanks, WeeHeavySD, again! I wish I could get coffee this delicious at the hundred coffee shops in my neighborhood. But I can’t. Then combine that delicious coffee over a super tasty stout? Hell yeah. That’s what I’m talking about right there. This was very good, nay, great. Need more. Just ordered a new liver on ebay that should be here any day now. Game on.
