Feb 20, 2009 22-ouncer. Black with a light beige head. Coffee and sweet roasted malt aroma. The coffee seems to have a slight stale, oxidized quality, but it’s still ok. Sweet chocolate malt, with a sharp coffee kick. Some burnt bitterness that tastes like over-roasted coffee, with a light vegetal note. Full bodied, but quite low in viscosity for a 12% stout. The alcohol taste is quite well hidden as well, in a dangerous way. This is still tasty, but probably not a stout that I would put in the top ranks.

Feb 11, 2009 Updated: Apr 29, 2009I consider this a true find. An excellent coffee stout with loads of coffee and chocolatey goodness. Sip this with a bowl of premium vanilla ice cream and enjoy. Also, hard to believe it comes in at a whopping 12% ABV

Feb 7, 2009 Poured real slick and oily with a black body and brown creamy head. The aromas hit you the second you tip the bottle. Obviously lots of coffee with a roasted malt base and a wee bit of chocolate. Coffee is again the overwhelming flavor in the mouth, but a little chocolate sneaks in, as well as a little hoppy bitterness. This brew started off really creamy, but surprisingly as it warmed it became really dry and bitter.

Feb 7, 2009 Bottle. Opaque with a medium ring of bubbles. Nose-dry stale coffee, bar floor, cigarette butts, cheap hourly rate hotel-smells just like a bad hangover. Taste-raisin, fig, sweet coffee, grape, chocolate syrup, thick greasy oil mouth feel, coffee is not too overbearing or offensive, medium bitter, concord grape juice, sticky on the lips, light cigarette smoke, tobacco, dark chocolate, prunes, dusty finish. A little too sweet for my tastes.

Jan 31, 2009 22oz bottle pours a dark brown with no head. Aromas of coffee, chocolate, and a hint of booze. Flavors the same, with the addition of some hop bitterness, lots of heat. Palate is smooth but hot.

Jan 26, 2009 Bottle thanks to MrChopin. Winter 2008 edition. Dark brown, light ruby hints, thin tan head. Aroma of coffee, lightly roasty malt, and alcohol. Taste is a bit harsher, bitter roasted malt, more nice coffee, but then a big alcohol heat finish.
