May 9, 2008 Nice aroma, mainly roasted coffee, molasses, alcohol. Appearance is dark brown, but surprisingly a little thin, with a foamy off white head. Nice flavor, coffee, chocolate. Thick mouthfeel. The palate is more sweet with chocolate than bitter from coffee. Good stout overall.
joekfsu (138), Boardman, Ohio, USA
May 9, 2008 22 oz bottle. Pours opaque black with 1 cm of tan head that diminishes somewhat quickly. Aroma of coffee dominates but some chocolate comes through as it continues to warm. Initial flavor dominated by the bitter coffee. Flavor more balanced towards the end as the chocolate comes in to make it more even. Aftertaste is still slightly bitter and lasts. Light carbonation, limited lacing, medium body, and some alcohol noted. Drinkability is pretty good, better than some other coffee stouts and better than its current score suggests.

May 7, 2008 [bottle] shared by BDR. Pours dark brown with a small, off whiteish head. Aroma is pretty sweet and chocolatey, with very little coffee on the nose. Flavor is sharply bittersweet, with chocolate and coffee. Thin mouthfeel with a long bitter finish.
Guerde (693), Welcome, Minnesota, USA
May 4, 2008 (bottle thanks BDR) Pours black with an off-white head. Really odd aroma of canned creamed corn mixed with roasted coffee. The taste was completely dominated by roasty, ashy, burnt, astringent, coffee that was not too pleasant. Finish is the same with all of that charred roastiness coming through.
plovmand (1590), Helsinge, Denmark
May 4, 2008 Bottle. Pours dark brown with short brown head. Sweet aroma with coffee notes as well as caramel and roasted malts. In mouth vanilla, dark sweet chocolate, and of course: coffee.
Could be good in the morning.
sirpsycho (342), Murrysville, Pennsylvania, USA
May 4, 2008 Bottle. Pours a dark brown with a touch of red to it, small, off white head. Aroma is coffee, not much else. Flavor is a nice blend of roasted coffee, caramel and a touch of milk chocolate, sweet, but not in a bad way. Palate is a pleasant medium to almost full body, very drinkable.
lordeche (397), Quincy, Massachusetts, USA
May 3, 2008 Pours dark brown with light brown head. Aroma of molasses, coffee, some roasted malt, and dark chocolate. Flavor is equal parts chocolate and coffee with a lactose smoothness. Palate is fairly full, not cloying, with a slightly dry finish. Not bad, not earthshattering.
