1.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
On tap at Barcade Brooklyn. Smells great: strongly roasted malt, coffee galore, no sign of infection. Taste is a different story, however, with a rapid tartness shooting through the flavor profile to spoil everything you hold dear. Unfortunate.

A deep dark stout with a thin lacing brown head. In aroma, smooth chocolate malt with mocha coffee, light vanilla notes. In mouth, a nice coffee and chocolate with light musty notes, light chocolate, acidity, a bit light but smooth. On tap at Rattle ’n Hum, Sept 21, 2012.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
On tap at Kuhnhenn Brewpub. Black with a thin brown head. Aroma is roasty with dark malts, barley, and light chocolate and coffee. Taste of dark chocolate, coffee, roasted malt, grains and a touch of alcohol. Semi-sweet and a touch chalky but overall pretty good.

Draught at Rattle&Hum, NYC. Pitch black beer with a very nice lasting brownish head. Chocolate and coffee aroma, licorice, plum, roasted, sweetish, raisins, soot, figs, cocoa, bitter and yet fruity’ really roasted coffee flavor with dark chocolate, cocoa powder, figs, vinous, some berries, licorice, red currant, notes of leather, earthy and with some soot. Refreshing and with great balance. I love the attitude the berries bring to this beer.

3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Sampled @ Rattle N Hum. Pitch black pour with a creamy latte head. Thick mouthfeel like drinking a milkshake. Lots of cocoa, brownie, vanilla and caramel. Really enjoyed it although not always a fan of the style. Smooth...mellow...with a sneaky 7%. Thought I could drink this all night...but would knock me out quickly!
