Jul 17, 2005 Draft sample at the brewery 7/8/05: Very dark brown with a nice firm head (although it subsided quickly). Bountiful coffee nose. Woody bitterness makes this an awesome drinker.

May 31, 2007 On draft in Seward. Black with tan head, aroma I would expect given the name, and flavors that balanced quite well. Pretty moderate on the coffee and chocolate, sweet and smooth.

Aug 29, 2005 A very nice porter. Pour is pretty deep black with a decent head. Aroma is coffee, hazelnut, a bit of warm malt. Flavor is overwhelmingly coffee but very nice, refreshing, smooth. I’m glad I get to be the one to push this fine to beer to 10 ratings.

Nov 14, 2009 bottle coutesy of biggcb, thank you! pours black, black and more black with a dark brown head that leaves a lot of lacing. aroma is huge coffee notes, tons of both bitter roasted and sweet toasted malts. taste is really nice, light but bold coffee and roast. some faint brown sugar, oak and dark fruit notes. aftertaste is a nice vanilla coating that fades off of the bitter cooffee taste that lingers. nice mouthfeel, but i really wish it was an imperial/ a bit fuller. super smooth though, nice session beer.

Aug 23, 2005 This smells a lot like coffee, but not too strong at all - just right. Also, definitely has lots of coffee flavoring, and perhaps some chocolate, but mostly coffee. If you like coffee and dark beers, this may be the beer you give a 5.

Nov 1, 2008 22oz bottle from Belmont Station. Black pour with a huge dark tan head of lacy cream. The aroma is rich chocolate and coffee. Not that pleasent of a mix. I’ve definitely tasted better blends of these two flavors. The tastes are actually much better. The twang goes away in the taste. It gets better the more I drink. It is appropriately lighter than a stout and easy to drink.

Aug 12, 2005 #600 - Space black, tan creamy head. Nose was definitely espresso-like, but more complex notes of chocolate, nuts, and vanilla shine through as it warmed. Flavor up front was wet coffee grounds, a bit more chocolate, nuts and vanilla, but in comes a light hop bitterness late to keep it decently balanced. Medium bodied and smooth, soft carbonation, bittersweet finish. Good complex brew that would make for a decent session event. Thanks again to Gary at MS for sending this brew my way...
