Bottle. Black with a big rocky soapy light brown head that leave some lacing. Roasted and vinous aroma with grounded coffee, berries, some smoke and slight dark chocolatey. Coffee aroma gets more intense towards the end. Taste is vinous and acidic with roasted acidic vinous notes that contain coffee, dark chocolate, berries and some caramel. Mouthfeel is a bit thin and acidic with soft carbonation. This is not my kind of stout, but still ok. Too vinous.

ExpendableHero (516) - Florida, USA - AUG 25, 2011
This beer is a beast. Pours jet black with a brown head. Strong aromas of cocoa, and coffee. Tastes like a perfect mixture of dark chocolate, heavy dark coffee, and roasted notes. Very malty, thick beer. Goes down a bit heavy, but very enjoyable. Bittersweet chocolate finish. Awesome brew.

Very dark brown with a tan head, some lace. Taste of malt, caramel, especially of coffee/chocolate. Finish prolongs the bitter chocolate. Best for sipping in cold weather. Worth a search.
