Commercial Description:
Three thousand feet above sea level in the misty mountains of Jamaica, some of the worlds finest Arabica beans are hand picked on their way to becoming Blue Mountain Coffee. Halfway around the world, plump spring barley grows to maturity in the loamy soil of North America while aromatic hops are cutivated to exacting standards. Here in our kettles, these three special ingredients are blended to create a heady mixture of sweet sugar, dark roast, and complex flavor. Please enjoy this brew in moderation.

Big roasted coffee with chocolate malt on the nose. Oily flat and full bodied. Slight hops in the there. Kind of lame and one dimensional. Expected more.

22 oz bottle of the 2008 version. Pours opaque black with a nice medium tan head. Aromas of roasty malts, dark chocolate, coffee, a bit of alcohol. Nice taste of coffee dominates the flavor, dark chocolate, roastiness, a bit of dark fruit. Certainly wouldn’t guess it’s 12%. Creamy, smooth mouthfeel. Nice and enjoyable.

Courtesy of Gillard. Pours deep dark with thin mocha head. The aroma is the obvious label stated coffee, some chocolate, a bit of prunes and caramel. The taste is rich maltiness consisting of dark roasted malts, caramel and chocolate. The coffee comes in near midway and builds some toward the finish. It isn’t the usual Folgers coffee type grains but more a quality brand of rich dark roasty French Roast. In the finish I get a mild warming sensation from the alcohol. Another amazing brew from these fine people.

Pours black with a tan head. Smells of chocolate and coffee. Tastes like a mocha cappuccino. It is the perfect balance of bitter and sweet. Very smooth and bitter finish.

Bomber courtesy of GMCC2181. Pours a deep space black with 2 finger tan head. Nose is coffee (duh), dark chocolate and ash. Taste is heavy coffee and dark chocolate with a bitter hop finish. Full chewy creamy mouth feel. Tastes like Starbucks bold coffee of the day with a shot of chocolate, and daddy likes him some strong Starbucks Joe. Thanks D O Double Gizzle G-Dawg!
