Pretty good, but leaves a strong aftertaste. Has a very "guinessey" taste to it. Little to no "Mocha".

Bottle. A dark ruby brown color pour with a smalll tan head , quickly fading , leaving some nice lacing , light carbonation . Aroma is quite roasty with noticable hop notes , nice coffee ,nut and chocolate notes . Flavor is dark chocolate up front with rasins hops and coffee , a nice roast on the malt with a sour apple thing going on in the background , quite bitter medium body , watery mouthfeel , short dry coffee finish . Quite sessionable

12oz bottle from Gabriels. Pours a dark brown body with a quickly receding tan head that leaves a bit of lacing. Aroma of freshly roasted coffee, lots of chocolate malt with some light sweetness. Flavor follows suit with a balanced blend of coffee and bitter-sweet chocolate. Thin to medium body with a medium (coffee) bitter finish that ends dryly.

The pour, dark molasses with great retention for a light brown head. Big aromas of coffee, caramel, roasted malt, honey, wood, nut. Much of the great aromas carry to the flavor. Nice honey, mocha, roasted malt combo, with some wood, nut, and caramel. Slightly bitter and dry. Nice malty end. Some pretty good stuff. Wegmans 2-23-10. 22oz.

UPDATED: FEB 25, 2010 Had a few bottles at a friend’s place. The smell IS coffee, pours a dark brown, a decent head formed. A very heavy/filling beer with the taste coming in strong with every swig, a well defined coffee flavor. An interesting beer, but an acquired taste.

Bottle pours a deep clear brown letting lots of mahogany-colored light through with a big pillowy beige head. Lacing is great from start to finish. Aroma is complex but a bit subdued, giving subtle hints at the hops and chocolate malt within. The flavor holds this one back a bit, as there is a strange metallic twist to an otherwise nice, standard porter flavor. Tasty and low ABV, but a little on the thin side compared to Anchor, Fuller’s, etc.

Pours a dark red brown with a small head. Aroma is delicious, hints at chocolate, malt and maybe caramel. Taste is very good, clean and not heavy. Starts off with the malt that gives way to the mocha and caramel, is on the sweet side but not unbalanced. A very good beer that is a nice departure from the very hoppy beers I usually drink.
