Sampled at GABF. Pours an opaque black with some beige head. Mostly coffee nose, some chocolate, toast, molasses, Folgers grounds. The chocolate comes through a lot more in the flavor, sweet, molasses, toast, coffee grounds. Full bodied, dry finish. Well balanced. Drinks like it’s 5%.

Draught at the restaurant Gravity 1020 next to the brewery on October 9, 2012
Extremely dark red to black color, brown head. Chocolate, coffee taste. Dry finish. Coffee aftertaste. Medium mouthfeel, medium high bitterness. Roasted coffee scent.

Tap @ Fort Collins Brewery. Honestly, I’m not a huge fan of the normal Double Chocolate, so I’m not overly optimistic on this one. Pours a black appearance with a light brown head. Actually a delicious, roasted but not burnt black coffee, thick cocoa, a touch herbal aroma. A touch grainy mouth feel. A bit acidic/fruity quality in the flavor from the coffee with additional notes of cocoa, milk, and roast. This one does seem a fair amount better than its sibling.

Tap at brewery. Black with a thin khaki head, and a magnificent aroma of chocolate, freshly brewed coffee, and subtle roastiness. Flavor is pretty dang big with big palate-wrecking notes of coffee, sweet milk chocolate, bitter dark chocolate, and even more roasted coffee. Dark sweet and a perfect day-ender.
