Jul 7, 2009 courtesy of tpd975. Had this oen several times, never got to rate it.
It was hard to rate after the amazing Aphrodisiaque.
pours pitch black, dark mocha head with some nice golden lacing.
Aroma malts, lots of roast and hints of coffee.
Taste, lots of coffee, roasted malts, leaves a faint tingly hopy mouthfeel with the abv making this one a nice and boozy beer.

Jul 5, 2009 Pours pitch black like motor oil, nice thick brown head. Heavy roasted malt and coffee in the nose, very intense. Flavor is also intense, I got coffee and bar mocha at first, then some smoked malt and a quite bitter finish. Very thick mouthfeel, extremely viscous on the palate. Despite all the intensity it is very well balanced and enjoyable. Top notch.

Jul 3, 2009 Pours a near black with a dark tan head. Nose is dark roast espresso. Rich and strong aroma, quite amazing really. Some subtle notes of chocolate and smoke. Moderate bitterness up front with some strong roast. Like drinking a cup of fine cuban espresso. Huge chewy body with a long slight bitter and roasty mocha finish. Fantastic.

Jun 19, 2009 This beer came highly recommended, and it is always a pleasure to try a beer as highly rated as this one. RIS is a very popular style these days, and there are certainly many of them - this one, as advertised had a very heavy dose of coffee. It was a nice blend of sweetness and dry roastiness ("burned pizza crust").
Color was black. Body was viscous. Head was non-existent. Aroma was coffee-ish; dry, roast-y, and pretty bitter. Flavor was the same, but the dry-roastiness was balanced with some milk-stout sweetness. Mouthfeel was very slick, and pretty thick. Quite solid.
Highly recommended. I bought this bottle at Blacklick Liquor on Broad St. Probably not worth the $5.89 for a 12oz bottle I paid, but quite good nonetheless.

Jun 19, 2009 Bottle. Wow. Pours a thick, viscous, oily black, with a presistent and lacy dark tan head. Big cappuccino aroma, with roasted barley, chocolate, fruit, great! Palate was both intense yet surprisngly drinkable. Huge coffee throughout, with more complexity than I would expect from even the best cup of coffee. Just floored me.

Jun 17, 2009 Pours like two stroke oil, coating the glass. Dark tan head forms, starchy nose. The coffee shows up on the palate, creamy middle, bitter hops finish. This really was easy to drink, all things in balance.
