May 6, 2009 Pours thick back. Thin head, disipates quickly. Great flavor, slightly sweet. Coffee, lots of chocolate, some toffee flavors. Just a little roasted flavor. What a great stout!

May 6, 2009 Updated: May 11, 20092007: The best out of the three I rated. Much more well developed than the ’08 and ’09. Good chocolate notes.
2008 Re-Rate: II thought this was just OK. Strong aroma with chocolaty coffee notes. Flavor not like aroma, some chocolate and coffee but strong alcohol burn that was not as enjoyable. Harsh on the tongue.
2009: Better than ’08, not close to ’07. Very different taste compared to them though. Much more unique tasting (that doesn’t make it great. I’d let this age.

May 5, 2009 Partaken at a tasting at the Casa of the former mexican Nationalist Drbayern, his amigo Celticbrew, our Pimp de la Cerveza Brian, and Tio Steve. This was a BLIND TASTING of 6 different stouts. Poured black with an off white head. The aroma was light coffee. The mouthfeel left something to be desired, though not bad. The taste was that of coffee and hops.

May 3, 2009 Amazing....very dark pour and chugs like 30,000 mile motor oil with a dark tan head. Smells of liquorish and coffee. Tastes of bitter choc and coffee. A little alcoholic on the finish but what can you expect from a big beer like this. Great beer and glad we can finally get it in FL now.

May 3, 2009 Another beer shared by DrBayern. Poured dark black body with a small tan ring for a head. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee, and slight alcohol and licorice. Taste of roasted malt, molasses, and coffee. Impressive beer, would love to try on tap.

May 1, 2009 Thanks to my brother for sharing this. Now, I must admit, I’m coming off of a cold, but I’ve had other beers and have been able to taste them just fine. This one pours a deep brown color with thin tan head. Aroma is of dark chocolate, mild fruit, alcohol and light anise. Taste matches the aroma but there seemed to be too much fusel alcohol which just made for a really hot impy. Not bad, but not anythingm to write home about.

May 1, 2009 Pours black with a medium tan head, which leaves some rainy streaks on the glass. Aroma is dark roasts, chocolate, anise, and some alcohol. Taste is surprisingly not as alcoholic as one would expect. Smooth mouthfeel with chocolate, dark roasts, and some molasses dominating. I actually like this.........odd as it may seem.

May 1, 2009 Bottle from 2008. Black with no visible carbonation.
Smells malty with tons of roasted nuts and a strong hint of alcohol and coffee.
Tastes coffee, chocolate, roasted nuts and some alcohol. Heavy body still smooth.
Great taste, excellent body, all around a nice beer
