Aug 14, 2008 1 litre bottle, obtained in trade. Expresso coffee is intrinsic, and its in the aroma. Very nice lacing on the black body with mocha covering. Dry for an RIS and also medium rather than fuller mouthfeel for the style. Vanilla is there, and it helps to make up for a lack of carbonation. Dry biter chocolate.

Aug 3, 2008 Sample at the 2008 VT Brewers Fest - Poured a very dark black/brown in color with a small tan head. Some lacing. Aroma is very strong of darkly roasted malts, coffee and dark fruits with a hint of chocolate. Flavor followed the aroma profile pretty closely. Flavor is roasty with plenty of dark malts and lots of coffee. Slightly sweet with flavors of dark fruits lasting through to the finish. I really liked this one...

Jul 18, 2008 Courtesy of Dragonstout. Thanks a lot, Brian! Huge dark fruit aroma followed by dark chocolate, fudge, cocoa and treacle. Very nice aroma. The body is deep black and holds a receding thumb sized mocha head. The first sip offers gobs of treacle, some light smoke, a dose of sweet chocolate, cocoa, cream and assorted dark fruits. A little thin, but VERY tasty. I like.
