Dec 19, 2007 Bottle. Poured a black color with a super-thick light-brown head. Light aroma of coffee and maybe some vanilla and hops too. Mouthfeel was okay, although more carbonation than I would have preferred. Flavor is pure coffee with a chocolatey finish to it. A pretty good impy stout, although not one of my favorites.

Dec 14, 2007 12 oz. bottle. 2008 vintage. Pours a midnight black with a smallish, one figer thick tan head. Aroma of roasted coffee and dark chocolate. Thick mouthfeel, very big. Coffee notes dominate, but not overpowering at all. Subtle undertones of vanilla. Finish is smooth and creamy. A bit of a bitter finish. Terrapin really knocked this one out of the park.

Nov 1, 2007 Very dark pour. Huge coffee comes to the nose. The coffee is too overpowering in this stout. Its like I am drinking a pot of sweet viscous espresso with vodka.

Oct 26, 2007 Updated: Mar 20, 200907 bottle thanks to miketd. Poured an inky black color with a monstorous tan head. Overpowering aroma of black coffee. Initial flavor of roasted malts and coffee with oat undertones. Strong coffee finish that wasn’t too overpowering, eve for a non-coffee drinker like me. Robust flavor, but it is a bit one dimensional. Smooth and creamy on the palate. Overall, I liked it a lot more than I thought I would after smelling it initially, and actually enjoyed drinking it while reading. Thanks again, Mike. 07 Rating: 6-4-7-4-15=3.6
06 bottle thanks to Ty5592. Aroma was much different, still dominated by coffee grounds but there was a strong green presence that made it almost smell like a coffee plant, soil and all, in the beer. Time seriously smoothed out the coffee flavor and brought out more chocolate and oat flavor. The aroma was a bit funky, but the flavor was much more pleasant. Thanks Ty. 06 Rating: 7-4-8-4-15=3.8
