BelgianBeerGal (1273), Sabbatical in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Mar 15, 2009 Traded bottle. Pours oil black with a medium brown head. Huge aroma of burt malt, dry ground coffee and a little chocolate. Creamy mouthfeel with flavours of super bitter coffee, baking chocolate and some smoke. Good but maybe a little heavy on the coffee bitterness for my tastes. paiste2002 (148), Saugus, California, USA Mar 15, 2009 Bottle care of hannont, thank you Todd! pours totally black with a smallish tan head. Aroma is huge coffee and chocolate, roasted malt and dark fruit. Flavor is coffee and chocolate up front roasted malt and a bit of earthiness in the finish.

CaryTheDude (1113), Longmont, Colorado, USA Mar 15, 2009 Huge thanks to Honkeybra for getting me this one. Crushed with Jakebra. Big dark fruits and coffee on the nose. The coffee blends beautifully in the flavor. It’s a little thin bodied, but fuck, it’s so good I’m not going to complain anymore. Roast, coffee, dark fruits. Fantastic brew. Crit (2398), New Westminster, British Columbia, Canada Mar 13, 2009 Small tan head fades fast.Roast coffee/alcohol nose. Big coffee roast profile, med alcohol heat. Good roast bitterness in finish askjaer (23), Frederiksberg C, Denmark Mar 13, 2009 Bottle. It’s totally black with a small but lasting brown head. Aroma dominated by coffee and chocolate malts with some notes of dry wood. Taste also has strong notes of coffee and burned malts with a long lingering dry aftertaste of coffee. It is complex yet easy to drink and very well balanced. It is a very enjoyable beer. mreeves (257), Sammamish, Washington, USA Mar 8, 2009 I love coffee and I love beer, and this is the most amazing combination of the two I’ve ever had. Bitter, chocolatey, lots of coffee flavor and a deep, roasted goodness. Really an amazingly tasty brew. IEBAILI (123), San Diego, California, USA Mar 8, 2009 Smell is dominated by coffee, followed by bitter chocolate and roastiness. Taste is more balanced, the coffee is really well blended into the other flavors. Body is smooth, rich, full and satisfying. Some hop bitterness and light citrus fruit, orange specifically, as well as subtle cherry. Quite drinkable, alcohol not obvious. No rough edges on this one, warm and smooth, a touch sweet but not at all cloying. Not the most complex flavors, but very enjoyable.
