Great beer, but not as good as the black albert. A bit more alcohol in the nose and lots of coffee. The added barrel flavours are really subtle, perhaps because the base beer is so strong tasting to begin with. Additional coffee flavour noticeable as well.

Excellent jalapeno and earth on the nose. Not overwhelming coffee. Had at Stone’s ’Pour it Black’ on 10/7. Would highly recommend.

With the Yeti the best Stout around. Incredible intense coffee flavor and a very pleasant darkbrown head. With the 13% alcohol percentage this beer manages to find a great balance between strong coffee flavor and nice hints of caramel and wood. A very intense experience and the best beer i’ve had for a while.

6 oz draft from Capone’s. Pour is quite similar to Black Damnation, although seeming a bit more ruby then brown around the edges. No real head to talk about. Nose is mostly astringent malts, some wood, stale coffee and dark fruit. This sample was drank over a 2 hour period and still never came together. Flavors of sour raisins and bitter coffee dominated, follwoed by a blackened, ashy malt backbone. I did not know this beer was aged in barrels until just now, so I think its safe for me to conclude this beer’s flavor profile was sabotaged by a bad barrel. Odd, but not necessarily in a good way.

I can only rate this one comparing it to the II, now called mocha bomb. BD IV comes out less dry, less moka, more chocolatey and creamy. More balanced and easier to drink. It is a bit like this one is the female version of the mocha bomb ... so far I prefer slightly the bomb. But this one is easier to drink ...

Even better than the original black albert. Pours dark black with a fair brown head. Aroma is moderate roasted malts, dark chocolate, coffee, vanilla and some red fruits. Taste is full and complex, leaves a bitter flavour in the end. Flat and creamy, highly recommended as a great "meditation beer".

Holy damn, that is some awesome rum flavor. Bottle, 33cl. Not sure if coffee club is what they shoulda called it, rum club is more like it. Pours a filthy oily black with a brown espresso colored head. Tastes like black albert but with loads o’ rum! Good beer, one to be enjoyed in front of the fireplace
