Pours nearly black with a thin head. Aroma of roasted malts and bitter coffee. Similar flavor - lots of strong coffee without being overpowering. I found the palate to be a little lighter than I was expecting, but still very drinkable. I would definitely reach for this beer again if given the chance.

Jan 6, 2010 Poured a deep, dark brown, almost black. Small head. Slight coffee aroma. Taste is dominated by notes of coffee, but the coffee is by no means overpowering. Good.

Jan 5, 2010 On tap at the Beer Engine. Black pour with slight tan head and some decent lace. Flavor was nice and smokey but more watered down than I hoped for. Not a stand out stout.

Jan 4, 2010 Pint draft at Finnegan’s, Plainfield. In fact, poured from a tap with DFH’s infamous "pimp cane" handle. Opaque black, but there just a little brown at the very edges, and a light layer of brown bubbles. Smell has nuts and deep-roast coffee, fer sher. In fact, the smell is a little "burned," but I’m thinking that’s called for in this style. Taste is also big and roasty, probably the way Café Du Monde chicory coffee would taste if I’d happened to have tried it. Bitter all the way down, but I’m rewarded at the end with a nice cocoa finish.

Jan 3, 2010 Pours pitch black. Bit of an espresso foam. Big coffee and malty notes. Followed by a little chocolate taste. Carbonation gives it almost a soda style consistency. Also a little bit of chicory bitterness sneaks in.

Jan 2, 2010 Pitch black, with just a bit of tan lacing. Roasty aroma of coffee (chicory?), licorice, and dark chocolate. Slightly creamy, with some dried fruits as well. Very rich and complex cereals. Roasted flavor of coffee, cocoa, grains. A bit of fruit, but mainly very dry roasted. Finish is bone dry and roasty. With a touch of hops. Body is very light, which is refreshing but may be a bit of a fault, though it is very smooth-oats? A pretty great beer, though.
