1st impression was wow!!! There is as much flavor in this as any beer will ever have. The aroma is undeniable. Malts ahoy, some chocolate, maybe molasses, and coffee. It’s appearance was a little disappointing, it was rather nil on the head scale, with a black body, and minimal head. The flavor is overwhelming, with alchohol, expresso, dark chocolate, malt, and maybe toffee or caramel. It’s feel is a bit bitter, and at times a bit too much, but all in all that should be expected a bit given it’s complexity. Nice!

Jul 25, 2008 Best of the night, shared by Fidel. Pours almost black with a decent, dark tan head. This was a big beer in nose and flavor. Complexity flowed with chocolate, molasses, roasted malt, finishing a bit dry and subtle bitterness. Very good beer.

Jul 20, 2008 Got a bottle at Spuyten Duyvil. Pours black with a tan head. Aroma of dark malts and hops. The flavor has tons of dark malts and bitter hops, but not too bitter. I didn’t think it was as creamy as other people have said... it has a certain dryness in the finish that left me just wanting more. A really great beer.

Jul 19, 2008 Pours a deep dark black with a medium tan head. This beer has a malty, somewhat sweet aroma that is populated by chocolate, coffee, vanilla. The flavor is quite similar, with a creamy texture. A quite wonderful beer.

Jul 4, 2008 pours dark black with medium tan head.
Aroma is very appetizing coffee & molasses, some chocolate, rye bread, light vanilla.
Flavour is quite bitter after that sweet aroma. Burnt malt, bitter choc., molasses and vanilla. well blended alc.
A little thin tasting for me though.
