Sampled at Night of the Living Ales II. I took one whiff of this and I thought, "good grief, this thing smells like wet coffee grinds." Now I am wondering to myself if it is going to be gritty. Thankfully it is not gritty and actually has some decent flavor to it with roasted malts and traces of cocoa. Finishes slightly bitter.

From the aroma and the appearance, I thought I’d poured myself a glass of old, thick coffee from the tap. Kind of watery. But the flavor adds some roasted barley and chocolate to the blend. Not bad, but obviously not my cup of tea.

Pouring black, oily and absolutely headless, this little beastie smells exactly like a fresh cup of coffee. Uncanny. Big roasted aromas get the mouth watering, but they recede and chocolate takes over in the flavor. The body is way too thin for my liking. Touch of salt to finish. An interesting way to "wake up" the tastebuds to an evening that was filled with various and sundry beers.
