Feb 16, 2009 Bottle. Pours a shiny jet black with a medium tan head. Nose is malty with a strong freshly brewed coffee tone. Real good strong coffee flavors although a little subdued, oat flavors adds nicely. Mouth is medium bodied as would expect with the alcohol level. Wonderful flavors, great for a session beer.

Feb 3, 2009 22 oz. bottle.
Pours very dark black, with a tan head. Extremely strong aroma of coffee. Coffee also dominates the taste, which is not a bad thing. Very good overall.

Jan 26, 2009 Bomber. Pours a faily dark black with one finger of persistent beige head. The aroma is a floral roast of coffee, a little bit of chocolate, a few vanilla and toffee hints, and a little bit of bark. The flavor is ash, chocolate, and coffee. The coffee again is acidic and floral, which I’m not entirely sure was the best sort of roast to use. There are some wood and vanilla notes toward the finish, which sports a mild ashy bitterness. Decent beer, but could have been better.

Jan 24, 2009 First impression is that aroma dominated by coffee and the bitter type of coffee, not bad. Bitterness comes through in the flavor a bit but again this is not hop bitters but coffee like bitter flavors. Quick clean finish but unfortunately after the baltic porter I had a little earlier this one comes through a little thin and light bodied.

Jan 13, 2009 Nope. Sorry. Heinous green leafy vegetable quality, grains were overt and sharp, spoiled taste. Hoping this is not normal. I will give this another shot soon.

Jan 13, 2009 Bottle shared by ajm at the 09er. Unfortunately, this one drew some frowny faces from the group. Pours black with a tan head. Smells and tastes of dark cocoa and coffee. Seems high in water content and lacking an element of cream. Very safe.
