Jul 3, 2009 Decent bitter black cup-of-coffee beginning that somehow turns into a glass of Icehouse. The flavor just dissipates into an ice cold Zephyrhills drink. Disappointing. $4 bottle at Zeke’s, Miami Beach.

Jun 30, 2009 Very good. Not the strongest coffee flavor, but blends well with dark malts and just a bit of bite. Very dark, very creamy.

Jun 27, 2009 Poured from Bottle into Pint glass.
Pours a deep dark brown that borders on black with a fizzy khaki colored head that quickly dissolves and leaves no remains. The nose has some chocolate, roasted malts and just a hint of coffee. The flavor is sweet chocolate upfront and is accompanied by some smoke and earthy hops and finishes dry. Its a medium bodied beer that has a hearty amount of carbonation. The nose on this beer is completely lacking and the flavor is pretty faint as well and the body makes it seem more like a porter than a stout.

Jun 24, 2009 Lots of coffee in the aroma. Good overall taste. Bit of roast in the taste as well and coffee. Decent stout overall.

Jun 3, 2009 Black with a fizzy tan head. Sweet roasted chocolate aroma and taste with some coffee notes on the back end.

May 30, 2009 Comes out of the bottle a deep, warm sable with a very thick, fine-bubbled and fairly persistent beige head. Rich aroma is like a fine coffee and has hints of unsweetened chocolate and smoke. Flavor is like a good mocha, but too thin to be first-class - it does not seem to live up to the appetizing aroma. There is just a hint of sweetness. Texture is smooth but rather watery, not like most stouts I have tried. Still, it’s OK.

May 18, 2009 12 oz bottle-pours a dissipating brown head and black color. Aroma is dark fruit-some tart, chocolate/molasses-dark malt, secondary earthy hops. Taste is dark fruit-some tart, coffee/chocolate/molasses-dark malt, secondary earthy/chickory hops. Aggressive carbonation, porter like. Thanks jwc215 for sharing this.

May 15, 2009 Bottle from Belmont Station... Poured black with a thick, light brown head. Roasted coffee beans and malts on the nose. Thick, full, and foamy palate. Big coffee notes with sweet sugars from coffee and toffee characters. A little bit of mellow hops for a good balance.
