| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 30, 2008 I have had this beer exactly one time before which was on tap at the brewpub. This is straight from the new can which is mostly black and silver, Raiders colors, not fucking cool…. The beer really looks like oil pouring from the can. The head was dark brown and the beer was obviously pitch black. The smell is excellent, roasty dark chocolates maybe a coffee bean as well and powdered cocoa. The taste is very nice, oaty for some reason, burnt, the smell is the best part. This stuff is definitely strong but i can not get over how good it smells. Buy this when you see it.

| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 28, 2008 Pours an extremely dark black from 12 oz can, forming dark brown head of foam. Aroma dark chocolates, deep roasted malts, hops and raw expresso beans. Flavour of much of the same, ABV well hidden in sweetness and bitter balance, the beer is very smooth, very quaffable. Would be drank in big quantities on tap, in the presence of of good friends and family. Superb beer, simply superb beer!

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 28, 2008 The can pours impenetrable dark chocolate color with about an inch of slightly orange hued, tan froth; settling after about a minute. Extremely thick, it poured pretty much straight down, no arch. Smells of a bit of alcohol, and sort of like someone threw cocoa beans on a camp fire. It tastes like someone melted a bar of bittersweet chocolate, and that’s delicious by me. Served cold, dangerously drinkable. As it warms, I feel like the carb can’t quite hold it up, but don’t be afraid. I think the sweet and bitter are very well balanced considering the "size" of this brew.

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 26, 2008 Can courtesy notalush - thanks Brandon! Something made me want to drink this out of the can, but for the purposes of rating properly, it was poured into a glass, and I must say, there’s a certain flair of pouring something this thick from a can...I feel I should be in my garage doing something like this! Anyways, pours black with thin tan head. Aroma does not go too far, but is full of malty and coffee aromas, and can be best described as ’sweet’. Flavor is very good, albeit bordering on too sweet...extremely lactic, full of caramel malt and chocolate, a hint of coffee and some oatmeal. High level of drinkability on this one, and the texture is just about spot on...some creaminess/oiliness, but not overly so. A nice offering!
