2.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
bottle at RBSG 2010 - Pours dark brown and smells heavily of coffee. Unfortunately it’s more like coffee grounds than a good roast coffee. The taste of more of the same. There’s some roast malt in there but any other flavor is overwhelmed by a stale coffee ground taste. This beer does not work. Just bad.

Reviewed from notes.
Poured into a tulip glass. Color is very dark brown bordering on black with a tan head and a bit of lacing. The nose brings forward a pretty good dose of roast and coffee with a little bit of chocolate in there. The flavor is coffee and chocolate and has a nice bit of cream, which is quite nice in the mouthfeel. Good carbonation and body. Drinks fairly well, but a bit too roasty with the coffee being a tad bit burnt.
