Sep 17, 2009 Poured from Bottle into Tulip glass.
Pours a smooth black with some red-toned edging with a quick dissolving brown head that leaves a thin ring around the glass. The aroma is chocolate dominated with coffee some toffee and burnt sugar. The flavor is sweet with more chocolate than coffee roastiness and finishes with a coffee bitterness and slight alcohol burn. Its a velvety full-bodied beer. This isn’t necessarily a bad beer but it seems very sweet and I would like a little more carbonation.

Sep 16, 2009 Updated: Sep 19, 200922oz bottle . a lighter looking stout that isn’t quite opaque black under a quickly diminishing, loud, fizzy, tan head....eventually nothing. no lacing. caramel and raw coffee bean aroma with a hint of dog food. flavor really saves this beers poor appearance with a robust coffee, dark and milk chocolates, cream flavors. not bitter or acidic like some coffee beers. medium body with a creamy texture. better than most coffee beer creations.

Sep 16, 2009 Sampled at Bruegala 2009. Black with red tints. Small, off-white head is mostly lasting. Heavy chocolate milk nose with a mild coffee roast and sweet brown sugar. Lightly sweet, moderately bitter flavor with some burnt brownies/coffee underneath really hot alcohol. Soft carbonation over the top of a rather medium bodied imperial stout. I have to say, I was a bit disappointed.

Sep 14, 2009 Bruegala 2009 sampling - Pours a dark brown/black color with some ruby hints under a small tan head. Aroma is mostly molasses, caramel, chocolate and a light coffee note with some sweet brown sugar notes. Flavor is pretty hot with LOTS of bitter coffee flavor and quite a bit of acidity to it as well. Modest body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Overall I thought it was a bit too much coffee flavor for my tastes and there just wasn’t enough other flavors to counter the overly pungent coffee note.

Sep 11, 2009 1pt 6oz bottle. Pours thick dark brown with very little head. Smells of creamy coffee and dark fruit. Tastes of dark coffee with creamer, roasted malt, milk chocolate, and alcohol. Nice and sweet up front and gets slightly bitter in the finish. Pretty good beer, but for the price, Rogue’s Chocolate Stout is way better and half the price.
