Aug 16, 2009 Beautiful black pour black with creamy-looking, thick mocha head. The mocha head reappears with each agitation. This is a beautiful work of art. Aroma of canned chocolate syrup, dark roast coffee, soy sauce, and a slight hint of grass. Flavor is grounded coffee beans, Hershey’s chocolate syrup, wheat, and grass. Moderately creamy mouthfeel. The finish of bitter hops is surprisingly strong. I’m not into the earthy notes in this. It seems like an odd sidekick to the dark roast flavors of a coffee stout.

Aug 11, 2009 Tap at Blind Tiger. Poured a deep rich black with a thin beige head. Big coffee and chocolate nose. Mouthful was slightly on the thin side for the style, but flavor was rich and complex with great chocolate and coffee notes, and a firm bitter finish.

Aug 5, 2009 Notes from Seattle International Beer Festival. Obviously smells strongly of coffee and chocolate. Not sure how "espresso" is included, but it certainly has enough coffee to provide an espresso-like jolt. Dark, black even, with a slightly sweet finish.

Jul 28, 2009 This poured a nice opaque black with a big tan head. Aroma was really roasted, coffee notes as well. Flavor was was really dark and roasted, but not overdone, rather smooth hints of chocolate. This one has a great balance of coffee and sweetness.
