(Bottle) Pours black with a small brown head. The aroma is heavily roasted up front with strong notes of dry black coffee beans and peppery espresso alongside some tones of jalapenos, tar, dark creamy chocolate/cocoa and gravel/stone. Undertones of citric, floral, resiny and dry bitter herbal hops. Not overly complex on the nose but fat and fantastic non the less. The flavour is heavily roasted, medium to full bitter and medium light sweet. Tones of coffee/espresso/beans, dark chocolate/bitter cocoa, tar and heavily citric/resiny hops. The mouthfeel is super dry, soft and light oily. Near full bodied. Lingering afterbitterness of hops and coffee roast.

Aug 12, 2008 Bottle, 10.0%. Vinous and very hoppy aroma, grassy and citric. Black colour, seems muddy. Very small dark brown head. Good roasted flavour at first, a little smoke, distinct bitterness. It has a good mouthfeel, probably because of the nice sweetness. Coffee aftertaste.
