Jun 9, 2008 Black with dark espresso head that thins to nothing. Deep alco, choco espresso aroma. Wonderful thick taste of bittersweet mocha espresso khalua milkshake. Sweetness makes it closer to a liquor than a stout. So tasty you forget the alcohol until you finish your sip and it warms you up. Leaves a sweet aftertaste that longs for next taste.

Jun 9, 2008 From Puddintane via trade. Thank you! The pour was a nearly viscous, ultra dark glob. A nicely formed tan and brown head popped up and then retreated into a galaxy swirl. Tiny spots of lacing. The aroma was chocolate, cherry, roasted malt and some grassy, sweetness that I also smelled in their Hoppe. I found it distracting in that beer and in this one as well. The flavor was chocolate, roasted malt, bitter coffee, dark fruit and grass. The mouthfeel was full and the finish was problem free.

May 28, 2008 Pours pitch black with a dense one inch mocha head that dissipates quickly leaving a little bit of lacing. The first thing I noticed in the smell was the surprisingly evident alcohol notes, very boozy aroma. There is also strong dark fruit (raisins mainly), chocolate and oat scents as well. Decadent taste full of dark chocolate, dark fruit and roasted malts. The alcohol makes itself known in the taste as well with slight bitterness of roasted coffee and oatmeal in the aftertaste. Mouthfeel is heavy, oily and thick. It just coats your mouth with the chocolate malts and leaves an alcohol burn for good measure. This is a huge stout that I would definitely categorize as a sipper or a dessert beer. It’s a good but not great stout in my book.

May 22, 2008 Thanks for sharing this bottle Alex (sick_boy282). Pours with a black body topped by a thin, tan head with some lacing. It’s sweet and malty with a creamy note, some bitter hops and a touch of vanilla. Full bodied, smooth and creamy.

May 21, 2008 Bottle courtesy Gillard. Pours black with a small tan head. Aroma of licorice, roasted malt, coffee, alcohol, and a hint of oats. Taste is the same as aroma with the oats being a little more prominent. Full creamy mouthfeel with a moderate amount of bitterness and very smooth alcohol. Very good.

May 21, 2008 Pours a dark inky black-brown with a lacy light brown head. Aromas of milk chocolate, espresso, and toasted oats. The flavor is quite powerful, starting with chocolate covered oats, caramelized sugar, and espresso and ending with a powerful bitter dry finish. This beer has a Smooth warming finish that does a respectable job of concealing the alcohol, making this beer dangerous. A fine stout with some real power behind it.
