On tap at WABL Fathers Day BrewFest 2008. Pours opaque black with a thin but lacy tan head. Mostly brewed coffee in the nose, with the dark roasty malt falling in line behind it. Medium body and light carbonation. Sweet coffee and stout taste, with th smoke showing up on the finish.

On nitro at Elliot Bay Burien brewpub. Pours almost black with a nice frothy tan head. Huge coffee aroma along with some oatmeal/malt. Roasty taste, smooth, medium- to full-bodied, and non-astringent. Nice bitter coffee finish.

Lots of coffee and roast in the aroma. Very catchy really. Black pour with a tan head. Sweet coffee flavors, perhaps close to a mocha. Dry roasty flavors linger on the palate.

Draught @ WABF 2008. Pours a black color with a small tan head. Roasted malty chocolate and coffee aroma. Roasted malty chocolate and coffee flavor. Has a roasted malty chocolate and coffee finish.

WABF. Not quite black with medium head. Instead of a nice, smooth coffee flavor, it is more like drinking the grounds in the last swallow of a cup of coffee. Some nice chocolate comes through in the aroma.and flavor. OK, but def room for improvement.

Black,lasting tan head. Rich coffee nose.Rich malt start, smoky, roasty, mocha and chocolate. Complex, very nice
