Bottle - Perhaps my sample was old, but I thought this beer was fairly thin with an overwhelming coffee bitterness that did not reveal any other flavors. A very one sided offering.

Jul 6, 2008 One amazing stout.
Pours black, head is nutty. Nose is very pleasant of espresso coffee.
Aroma is a very sweet roasted chocolate/coffee malt filled with flavor.
Mouthfeel is a little thick, leaving an aftertaste filled with a nice espresso taste.

Jul 6, 2008 Pours a dark black with a light dark tan head. Wicked coffee and cocoa aroma.
Flavour is burnt malt, bitter coffee bite to it transitioning into a chocolate coffee bean body.
Mouthfeel alternates between bitter bite and oily smoothness. Finishes softly with cocoa nibs bitterness.

Jul 5, 2008 wonderful pitch black with tan head appearance. many components to the flavor with an initial coffee bitterness and late acting chocolate appearance that adds to the bitterness but also gives a great sweetness, the caramel malt is also present. the hops do not contribute much. the alcohol is definitely present, making me think there was more alcohol than 7.5%, but it’s presence doesn’t detract much.

Jul 4, 2008 12 oz bottle, via SoLan. Pours a black body, completely opaque, with a nice frothy brown head that had excellent retention. The nose is excellent, almost more coffee smell than beer. Tons of dark roasted malt and espresso roast coffee with a nice earthy note. Smells like the left over grounds from a fresh espresso. The flavor is very coffee centric as well. Nice dark roast coffee with a fairly minimal oily bitterness level. Lots of dark chocolate and cocoa powder and a nice earthy almost grainy finish. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with soft gentle carbonation. I suppose that I am a sucker for coffee beers, but even if I weren’t this really is an extremely good beer.
