4.4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20UPDATED: NOV 29, 2012 22$ Bottle ordered from belium website. Pours a velvety oily smooth dark molasses with some orange red hues on the top and bottom. Big fat aromas that grab your nosey attention of coffee beans enjoying the company of burnt malts, chocolate, wood, slight hint of whiskey, and brown sugar. The flavors, I’m just blown away. This is already one of the top coffee stouts I’ve ever had. Thick and oily on the ole grub taster. The coffee really moves over the palate and has a big party inviting his other buddies, burnt mic malty, chocolate sue, Frank Mc woody, Stacy brown sugar, and Sam dark fruity. Very bitter with the mixes of coffee and hops which go mostly hidden as well as the high abv (mostly only though the nose on the way down). Medium sweet and very complex. Worth waiting for but not 20$, I’d say 10$.

3.9 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Black with tan head that fades away leaving a ring. Some nice vanilla bourbon notes up from with strong licorice, littlee coffee, dark plummy fruits, prune, chocolate. Taste doesn’t quite live up to the aroma, licorice, vanilla, wood, chocolate but on the whole the flavour is a little thin. Lacks the body I would expect, almost watery and finishes very quickly also the coffee is almost gone, possibly through aging. Very nice though
