Bottle thanks to miketd. Poured a beautiful inky black color with a minimal tan head that diminished to a ring. Just like the description says, roasted color and chocolate dominate the aroma, but it isn’t overpowering. The entry is mostly sweet chocolate that leads into a good roasted coffee finish with oatmeal-esque undertones. Creamy and smooth on the palate. Awesome beer, I wish this was available around here. A big thanks to Mike for hooking me up with another beer that I have been wanting to try.

Oct 12, 2008 12 oz. Opaque black with a small head that tries to last, and leaves some frosty lace. Aroma is pretty much pure coffee, maybe some oats. Flavor is coffee, turning to cocoa and oats, some light peanut and caramel. Heavy body is smooth, sticky and dryish, with some light tingle. Smooth and tasty one-note beer that’s a bit overrated.

Oct 12, 2008 This stuff is strong. A ton of everything it says. Coffee and chocolate and you know it. So rich and really good. A lot of alcohol comes through for me too.

Oct 11, 2008 Might I suggest this for breakfest. Outstanding beer, like having some great coffeee with a little alcohol in it.
Very good beer!

Oct 11, 2008 Pours from 12 oz bottle almost completely black, forming beautiful off black foamy head. Aroma of chocolate delights, hops, malts, espresso coffee beans. Flavour much of the same, simple bliss and goodness, smoothness prevails in rich and sublime cleanness. Bitterness and hops give the beer a supreme character, kick ass!

Oct 10, 2008 Aroma: Roasted malts and chocolate, and no matter how much I’ve inhaled, it doesn’t fade. Appearance: Thick pour, darkest brown, thin brown head, minimal spotty lace. Flavor: Big roast malt flavor at the front, building towards lots of sweet cream on the mid-palate. Dark fruits abound, and some not-so-dark fruits as well (apricot, bitter melon...) Dark, bitter chocolate was there all along, but comes to the fore in the finish. Palate: Starts prickly, drinks smooth, and finishes dusty.
