3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Pours a dark black brown color with a medium large bone colored head. Notes of dirt and fresh coffee, and cigarettes. Just a coffee bomb all over the place and it turns out pretty good.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. A gusher surprisingly. Pours with a huge, creamy mocha colored head over a pitch black body. Great lace and full retention. Tons of really dark roast on the aroma, cinnamon and vanilla. Taste is leather, roast, vanilla, mocha roast, and no alcohol at all. One of my favorite coffee beers I have tried so far. Syrupy mouthfeel (especially for the ABV), with medium carbonation.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle. Nose-dry cold pressed coffee, fresh wet coffee grounds. Body-dark brown, nearly opaque with a thick ring of bubbles. Taste-perfect coffee, dry must, dusty, sawdust, high stinging CO2, cigarette smoke.

UPDATED: MAR 20, 2009 Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Black pour with a thi khaki head. Creamy chocolate nose with roasted malts. Easy on the palate with a deep dark chocolate flavor.

C&PLYFOTD: Bottle, courtesy fogdog. Brownish pour, with a thick head and lacing. Nose has tons of coffee, hazelnut, dry grain. Flavor is mostly coffee, dark grain, slight chocolate and a very smooth dry coffee roast in the finish. Very smooth overall, balanced well, yummy.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Courtesy dchmela. Black pour, broken tan head. Heavy powdered cocoa aroma, licorice, almond, alcohol. Thinnish on the palate. Taste is pretty mild, chocolate malt flavor, less straight cocoa, mild finish.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
bottle shared at February Beer Advocate Tasting. Pours black with a light brown head. Nose is wonderful roast coffee. Taste is coffee, but doesn’t measure up to the aroma. Mouthfeel is thin with some carbonation. Disappointed, considering what I had heard about it.
4.3 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Intense aroma of coffee, roasted malt and bitter chocolate. Very black pour. A pffft at the open leads to a fairly carbonated beer - possibly too much primer. Lots of coffee and burnt caramel, mixed with roasted malts, including an abundance of Black Malt. Pretty darn good.
