cbeers21 (563), Miami, Florida, USA Jun 29, 2008 Wow. ya so thats pretty much coffee right there, no cream or sugars. Nice pour reveals aromas of bittering espresso and coffee-quality booziness on the nose. A solid hop background and decent malts chewyness provides decent balance for this tasty brew. Vas19 (293), Maryland, USA Jun 29, 2008 Updated: Jun 30, 2008Pours black with virtually no head. Sweet coffee chocolate nose with a hint of hops. Flavor is more coffee and chocolate with a lingering hoppy flavor. Good beer. DocHop (278), Baltimore, Maryland, USA Jun 29, 2008 Pours a very dark brown with almost no head. Deliciously sweet aroma of coffee, slight roast, oats, and chocolate. Wow, extremely heavy body. Creamy like an oat beer. The coffee flavor is so sweet and thick. Not as roasted as I imagined, in a good way. The sweetness lingers for a long time. No sign of the high ABV except in the stomach. Excellent beer. hiphop (84), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Jun 28, 2008 Deep black in colour, near headless - just leaves a small beige head ring around the glass. The aroma is deeply roasty, loads of coffee and dark chocolate, lots of malt, light sweetness and light alcohol. The flavour is of intense roasted malts, dark chocolate and cold coffee, alcohol, vanilla and espresso. Dry bitter mouthfeel, medium body, medium carbonation. Finishes chalky, bitter, dry with just a bit of alcohol warmth. This is one big beer. Beerman6686 (1266), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Jun 26, 2008 Pours a black black color with a small dark brown head. Aroma is of a lot of coffee, just plain coffee. Flavor is also of a lot of coffee, but just the general stout coffee taste, not an in your face experince like i expected like i got from the choklat and pumking. thedm (3833), Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA Jun 26, 2008 This bottled brew from Indianapolis, IN poured a small sized head of foamy dark brown colored finely sized mostly lasting bubbles that left behind a semi-opaque dark brown colored soda pop like body. The aroma was of nice chocolate coffee and malty notes. The mouth feel was strongly tingly from start to finish. The strong flavor of dark malts hops coffee and chocolate was mildly vinous and very yummy. oteyj (716), Canterbury, New Hampshire, USA Jun 25, 2008 Snifter. Pours pitch black with modest tan head. Aromas of espresso, roasted malt, chocolate, and peanut butter. Smells like a roasted mocha with a dash of hop content. Flavors are deeply roasted though sweet. Coffee is quite noticable. Among other flavors are roasted, though not burnt malt, as well as a bit of bitter chocolate. Balance is great and coffee adds a great twist of flavors- I’m such a sucker for coffee stouts! KieferUGA (461), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Jun 21, 2008 22 oz. bottle. Pours a dark black. Thin, light brown head. Nice roasted coffee aroma. Very thick mouthfeel, smooth and creamy. Sweetness upfront, but the finish is long and bitter. Some warming alcohol, but not overpowering.
