This is an amazing beer. Full of complex flavors, and maybe too much for some people. I love this beer it has flavors of, coffee, chocolate, nuts. Too bad it’s only a limited run

Powerful Russian Stout with an aroma of molasses and a dark brown, bubbly head. Initial taste is dark coffee with supporting flavors of caramel, chocolate and cream. Very enjoyable.

Very dark appearance with a medium brown head. Aroma of sweet chocolate malts. Taste is a perfect blend of roasted chocolate and coffee with some bitterness. Overall one of the best I have had.

I just love this beer! I’m almost done with a case and I loved every beer I’ve opened! smooth, slight chocolate with strong coffee. To me, this is an awesome beer! I love coffee/espresso and this is a great example of coffee and beer together. the price is right, check it out!!

drpimento (1936) - La Crosse, Wisconsin, USA - JUL 24, 2012
A fine tuned heavy hitter. Poured with a decent tan foamy head tht slowly settles and good lace. Color is an opaque black brown. Aroma is roast, coffee, malt, toffee. Flavor’s like nose, sweet on top, but short lived and followed quickly by carbonic tand and dark roast coffee, bitter from coffee, black malt, and yeastoids fit perfeclty. Body and carbonation are perfect. Finish length is average for style and likewise boozy for style. Good drinkin’ brew.

Temptation (128) - - NOV 20, 2012
Pouring into glass very thick and creamy. Both in nose and mouthfeel is dark chocolate and bitter coffee from the beginning to the end, with a very consistent and lonlasting development. Traces of sweet alcohol and roasted malts. Excellent.

ogreface (1089) - Budapest, HUNGARY - MAR 29, 2012
Csakajósör, Budapest. Nagyon sötét, vöröses fekete színe van, olyan, mint egy minőségi gépolaj. Habja vékony, tejeskávé barna és gyorsan elolvad. Illata brutálisan kávés, kapszaicines, vaníliás és likőrös és igen intenzív. Íze olyan, mintha egy drágább fajta kávélikőrt feldobnánk egy adag erős paprikás vodkával, reszelnénk bele egy kis fekete csokoládét, beleáztatnánk egy kis vaníliarudat és az egészet ráöntenénk egy adag zabkekszre. Egészen sűrű és nehéz teste van, felerősítve egy adag pici, pezsgőszerű buborékokkal. Utóíze kesernyés, komlós és szétrágott kávészem szerű, enyhén csokoládés és nagyon száraz. Hatalmasat harap ez a veszett kutya, igen finom és egész embert kívánó sör. Azt hiszem, hogy ma már nem alszom...
