22 oz. bottle - cracked this open for breakfast on 1/1 to open up the new year; pours thick and jet black with very slight brown head around the edges; deep and rich aromas of roasted malt, chocolate and coffee; flavors that follow are equally thick in strength and yummy goodness; smooth and creamy texture with no hint of bitterness; coffee runs deep in both aromas and flavors; except for the price and health effects, i would love to drink this one every morning

Aug 19, 2008 50cl bottle from Vinmonopolet. Batch 357. It poured a pitch black colour with an enormous creamy tanned head that settled down slowly in the glass. The aroma smells of coffee, dark chocolate and roasted malts. The flavour is bitter and tastes of roasted malts, coffee, chocolate and a hint of alcohol. It has a long, lingering aftertaste.

Aug 17, 2008 very nice brew, interesting combo of oatmeal and coffee. Can smell the sweetness of oatmeal in the aroma. Less sweet than oatmeal stouts but very nice flavour of coffee and some bitter chocolate as well. Good mouthfeel. Very nice brew

Aug 10, 2008 Pours a creamy black with a lasting tan head. Smells of coffee and roasted malt. Mostly tastes of dark, bitter chocolate, but also coffee and hops. Smooth mouth feel. Highly drinkable and enjoyable, but Peche Mortel is still my favorite stout brewed with coffee.

Aug 10, 2008 Decided to be very literal about it and have this as my breakfast with some italian chocolate cake. That was a match made in heaven. There is so much in here to admire, the union of chocolate and coffee, the wonderfully smooth body, the aftertaste of gourmet coffee... And on top of all that this goes down dangerously easy. And there are hops! Oh sweet lord I would get fat on this if I had it available here, in case of an emergency this would be my manly version of chugging down a pint of hagen daaz....

Aug 8, 2008 Bottle from bu11zye, thanks! Pours a rich, dark brown colour with a frothy milk chocolate head. Nice aroma of bitter chocolate and coffee, plus bit of barley wine "fruit". Strong flavour of bitter coffee, roasted malt and some hops. The oatmeal gives it a great mouthfeel. Really phenomenal stout.
