Nov 9, 2009 Bottle shared by bhensonb. This black ale poured with a decent tan head and a strong coffee aroma. There is a delicious full-bodied coffee flavor with a little chocolate and a nice oak finish. A nice brew.

Nov 9, 2009 Bottle from Cletus. Hope you enjoy the Rorie’s as much as I did this. Pours black with a good tan head. Nice coffee aroma. Flavor is coffee, dark toast malt and a lot of chocolate aspect. Finishes with a good touch of treacle. It’s realy not dry. Similar to Oden’s Tipple. Nice ale.

Nov 5, 2009 A Mes rate. Bottle at LCRBM #5.
Standard but good black body and tan head looks. Grainy and fruity, some coffee bitterness and a truck load of American chocolate. Nice and roasty but a little too lactic for me. The barrel is barely there which is a good thing and the faint oaky hints are good. Decent but just not something I could get excited about.

Oct 18, 2009 Bottle at LCRBM 5 at Kulminator. Some coffee. But more choc than anything else. Burnt flavours in the mouth and mouthfeel.

On tap at Capones. Pours a deep black with a medium creamy tan head that left nice sticky lacing. Aroma of coffee, a bunch of vanilla, light oak, chocolate milk shake and just really nice. Flavor was pretty much the same. A really nice and smooth almost milkshake chocolate meets vanilla followed with a nice touch of coffee. I really enjoyed this one!

Sep 25, 2009 Bottle, thanks to danielcurtis81for sharing on his wedding week. Pours pitch black with a brown edge and quickly fading tan head. Has a sweet chocolate malt nose with some coffee. Taste is similar to nose with some faint red fruit, but a little lacking in complexity. Very good overall.
