| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 9, 2010 Bottle. Rich brown head, opaque almost black color. Ton of coffee everywhere, in the aroma and taste, bitter like a porter but well offset. Some cigarette and wet forest as well. Quite creamy and distinctive. Aftertaste just a little abortive for my taste. Probably the best of the Atlanta beers I’ve tried, although Rye Squared is good too. ben4321 (1157), Rockville, Maryland, USA

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 3, 2010 12 oz bottle. Woah, certainly will be a hit for those iced coffee lovers. Pours a rich dark almost black color with a tan head. Aroma is coffee, notes of malts. Flavor is full on coffee, slightly creamy with touches of grain. I really enjoyed this one.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Feb 2, 2010 Bottle. Coffee, WHOA. This beer is a blast of robust and bold sumatra. It pours insanely black with a dark thick brown head. There are notes of deep rich espresso and heavy chocolate syrup in the nose and the flavors follow right in line. This beer is heavy, and gets heavier as it warms. The Coffee hits you right up front with it’s roasty bitters and crunchy nutty notes. The heavy heavy malts hold this together for a long time as the rich creamy chocolate lingers long after its gone. Yum Yum Yumm-O brewski519 (460), Morrisville, North Carolina, USA

Aroma of roasted coffee, chocolate, molasses and doughy bready. The flavor is certainly dominated by the coffee but the other flavors that match up with the aroma come through as well. Pretty fully bodied with perfect minimal carbonation. Love this one. travita (2005), Frisco, Texas, USA

I love getting hit in the face with a pleasant surprise. I popped this one after work and was expecting a mediocre stout, but this one surpassed all expectations. Big coffee and chocolate aroma with some alcohol notes. Flavor is espresso, chocolate, coffee, with a moderate to heavy bitterness and a dry finish. It’s all topped off with a thick, smooth as hell palate. Excellent!
