I really enjoyed this beer.
Pours jet back with a thick and big tan head. Big aroma of coffee, burnt sugars. Has a thick oily body with some sweetness at the end. Some chocolate and slightly burnt coffee flavors.

Mar 24, 2009 22 oz. bottle - Poured dark brown with nice frothy tan head.
Aroma - vanilla, brown sugar, chocolate and coffee.
Flavor - chocolate, dark fruits, brown sugar and dark roast coffee.
Palate - medium creamy mouthfeel, almost like chocolate milk. Finish is excellent, slightly dry with soft coffee aftertaste.
Overall - liked it, does taste better as it becomes warmer! The creamy texture gives it a very drinkable quality. 12% abv., tastes more like 6%.

Mar 23, 2009 Lots of chocolate and some coffee. Burnt aromas and flavors. Not taken to the extreme like some of their other styles. Sweetness. Vanilla. More drinkable than Choklat.

Mar 21, 2009 Draught. Dark brown pour with a tiny light brown head. Aroma of coffee and burned nuts. Full body with the taste of coffee, hops, burned almonds and vanilla. Alcohol present in the finish.

Mar 19, 2009 Very nice flavor of coffee, and I have to say I was a little worried about the sticky sweet overdone ness of this one like in ST’s Oat, Choklat, and Creme Brulee, but this one was perfect. The coffee comes through potent and fresh, almost green fresh, and the roast complex seems a bit underdone but nice the same. I really hated the palate on this beer though. Holy god is it thick. It’s like drinking syrup, and I had this one room temp. Yikes. Nice beer none the less though.

Mar 19, 2009 On tap at the Flying Saucer in KC. Pours a black body with a dense, very creamy, chocolate milk colored head that dissipates slowly and leaves a good amount of lacing. Lots of rich, sweet, chalky chocolate and mild, fresh coffee. Light prunes, burnt sugar, and roast with a faint citrus hop backing. More and more fruity-boozy-citrus comes through as it warms. Flavor is big and sweet with mainly a rich, thick chocolate milk-like chocolate taste. Moderate amount of mild coffee roast with a faint smoke and fruit in the finish. Mainly sweet and rich chocolate, however, like the aroma, more and more of the booze comes through. Almost turns into a chocolate-coffee american strong ale taste. Full bodied and creamy with a nice lingering sweetness. The aftertaste doesn’t have a lot of bitterness and only a faint coffee note. Overall, could use some more balancing roasts or hops to even out the incredibly rich chocolate taste. Still a good stout though and takes an interesting turn as it warms.

Mar 18, 2009 16oz draft pours jet back with a thick and fluffy tan head. Big aroma of coffee, burnt sugars, grain, and bread. Big drying bitterness in the beginning of the taste. Thick oily body with some sweetness at the end. Some chocolate and slightly burnt coffee flavors. Too much of the alcohol burn. Not able to hide it in all that was going on.
