Dec 30, 2008 Poured a solid black with a wispy dark head. The boquet was a incredible, wonderful, strong coffee and toffee aroma that made my mouth water. In the mouth and the throat the flavor was strong and long-lasting, original and heavenly. I can best describe this beer as ’Murphy’s Irish Stout’ on steroids. A real treat to drink. Cheers

Dec 28, 2008 Pours black with tan head. Tons of coffee here. Roasty and a bit bitter as youd expect with all the coffee. Finishes pretty crisp. Doesnt linger very long, which I like.

Dec 27, 2008 Updated: Dec 28, 200811.5oz bottle. Big coffee aroma. Opaque black with a patchy, soapy head. Super smooth on the palate, with a considerable coffee finish. The sweet malty alcohol is exceptionally balanced with the chocolaty coffee tastes. Really comes off smooth, mellow carbonation and silky malt profile. I thought Redhooks Double Black was the definitive Coffee Stout but this one really makes a case for itself. Maybe not quite as rich Coffee-wise as the DB Excellent stuff, highly recommended.

Dec 27, 2008 Heavy smell of coffee slight scent of alcohol and malt. Definitely has a huge coffee presence with an ever present alcohol flavor.

Dec 26, 2008 Le cote aromatique du cafe domine beaucoup, ce qui est bon. Rotie, corser, admirablement houblonner.
Aromatic coffee dominates, which is very good! Roastiness, strong, very well hopped.

I tried this beer on November 5, 2005 at "Bar Volo" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I was told about this beer from a bartender friend at another beer bar I frequent in the city. I will have to thank him for the recommendation.
The beer poured a blackish colour with brown at the edges with a thin light brown head. The aroma was roasted malt, coffee, and dark chocolate/cocoa. The mouthfeel was full-bodied, thich, and somewhat creamy. The flavour was a complex suite of coffee, chocolate, roasted malt.............followed by a bittering finish. An excellent beer.

Dec 22, 2008 Easily my favourite beer. I have tried the majority of the top 50, and this one deserves more recognition. Beautiful deep colour, wonderful coffee and burnt toffee nose, alcohol is up there - just the way I like it. Living in Ottawa, ON, I can get all I want and I often bring some with me to spread the love when I travel.

Dec 22, 2008 Pitch black with creamy tan foam. the strong coffee and chocolate aroma is well balanced with the malt and hop. Some dark fruit emerge after a while . Of course, the coffe dominates the overall flavor but it is really well made. Where is that 9.5%. A great brew (especially at -20 C outside...).
