Oct 31, 2008 Courtesy dchmela. The pour yields a deep, dark chocolate brown body with a small, well retained blanket of tan colored foam. Random, spotty lacing marks the glass. The aroma is big and roasty, with dry, dark cocoa and rich, lightly creamed coffee notes. Flavors follow suit, showing that same, beautiful pairing of semi-sweet dark cocoa and bold, roasted espresso. Some earthy hop bitterness further balanced the swetness of the chocolate malts. Straightforward, but delicious. The only major detractor here is the palate, which is substantial enough, but is a good deal overly carbonated. Tasty brew!

Oct 26, 2008 Sampled from 750 ml bottle during Surly D-Day. Pours an opaque dark brown brew with a creamy beige head that has some nice retention and lacing. Aroma of mostly coffee and dark chocolate that overpowers any dark malts. Taste is medium bodied, very low carbonation with more coffee flavors with a hint of chocolate, vanilla and caramel. Finish has a mild metallic texture with a coffee and dark malt aftertaste.

Oct 16, 2008 Shared by Rciesla. Thanks broski. Pretty straightforward coffee stout. As it warms, finish gets ugly. Better cold.

Oct 16, 2008 Bottle at the 2008 pre-Brewers’ Jam warmup. Pours black with amber edges and a thin brown head. The aroma is unapologetically freshly ground coffee (not the beverage, the ground beans). The flavor is very deep, earthy coffee with some distant stout flavors behind it. This is more coffee than beer, really, but I love a high quality coffee, and this hits the mark.

Oct 13, 2008 Bottle shared by Suttree at the Pre-Brewer’s Jam Tasting. Pours black with a thin tan head. Big aromas of fresh ground roast coffee beans. The flavor finds lots of coffee with a nut and dark chocolate backing. Medium body. Sweet with a coffee bitter aftertaste. Very nice.
