Jun 7, 2009 Poured in to snifter glass from bomber, and shared with Alex to celebrate graduating from Wesleyan University. Appears dark brown with a medium tan-brown rocky head. Aroma is dark chocolate and roasty-mocha, with some nuttiness for depth. Flavors swirl gently, a wonderful array of smooth dark chocolate, Belgian chocolate, vanilla beans, buttery coffee and toasted wood. The palate present is just so soft despite the high ABV, aided by some pearly, rolling carbonation. Nothing is too forward here; if anything the “weasel” coffee lends balance, nuttiness, and soft roasted character. An excellent beer, a treat to drink, and worthy of searching out. Which I will again now that I live in CA.

Jun 6, 2009 Bottle pours black with off white head. The aroma is of espresso, oatmeal, and bakers chocolate. The flavor imparts much the same, with an additional lactic nature to make it more balanced. The palate is pretty silky and smooth. Overall, pretty impressive. Points added for poop.

Jun 6, 2009 Bottle pours jet black with a brown fluffy head. Huge coffee aroma. Slight espresso bitterness in the beginning of the taste. This is followed by a great, slightly thick, body and mouthfeel. Some chocolate, coffee and tobacco in the flavor. Very nice beer.

Jun 5, 2009 22oz bottle. Black with big brown head. Beautiful coffee stout with big roast, a smooth sweetness, and a big dose of non-bitter coffee. A little dark fruit. Just a lovely coffee stout. Truly special. Who knew that something from an animal’s ass could taste so good?

Jun 4, 2009 Grovlam swears that the story about the civet is true, but I remain skeptical. Anyway, it doesn’t matter whether people pay good money to properly clean weasel shit or not, this is one fine beer. Definitely worth seeking out and cherishing. If anyone has proof positive of the weasel story, please let me know.

Jun 4, 2009 Very smooth with a coffee heavy aroma and flavor. A much bigger then expected hop punch in the aftertaste. Overall very solid, quite consumable even at 11% or so. For approx 20 bucks I won’t revisit, but glad to have had the opportunity to have a go around.

Jun 4, 2009 Rating 250...Pour is black with brown tint, thick creamy brown head that dissipates quickly and leaves no lacing. Aroma is alcohol, chocolate and coffee...the coffee isn’t prominent like I was hoping. Flavor starts sweet and finishes bitter, wonderfully complex stuff. Palate is smooth, clean, rich and full bodied...soft carbonation. Easy as hell to drink but was hoping the coffee was center stage.

Jun 3, 2009 The beer poured a thick brown head and it slowly receded. The coffee tastes are great, but I don’t know if I can tell a difference from the crazy coffee they put in it. You don’t get the alcohol taste and the beer itself is well rounded.
