On tap at Stub and Herbs. Pours a black body with a thick brown head. Aroma is coffee, chocolate and caramel malts. Flavor is bitter and the palate wonderfully thick, creamy and smooth. Not terribly complex but a easy, tasty drinker.

Bottle via trade. Pours jet black with a one-finger tan head that leaves thick lacing on the glass. Aroma is freshly brewed coffee, roast, and oatmeal. Flavor is fresh coffee, oatmeal, heavy roast, and a hint of dark chocolate. Palate is smooth despite the coffee bitterness, and a little grainy, which I like in a coffee beer. Overall a nice breakfast porter, up there with Founders Breakfast Stout and Mikkeller Beer Geek Breakfast as far as beers I want to drink in the morning go. Oh, who am I kidding, I’m an alcoholic. I’ll drink any beer any time of day. The -bal aged version of this beer is just a little better.

Bottle pours black with thin tan head that dissipates quickly. Aroma is coffee roast, dark caramel, and vanilla . Opulent mouthfeel. Flavor is dark coffee roast, subtle sweetness, and finishes with a cocoa chocolate shot of espresso silkiness that is warming as you drink it. Very nice brew.

Pours jet black. Huge, thick, surging, moussy tan head that falls quickly away to nothing. A beer can’t look any better than this. The aroma is dominated by sweet raw coffee along with hints of vanilla,caramel and a touch of smoke. The taste brought on another dimension that seems a bit more complex than the aroma would have you believe. Tastes of expresso, molasses and a hint of chocolate malt. Creamy and very, very smooth. Great drinkability.

12 oz bottle. Pours thick and pitch black with tan head. Aroma is deep roast coffee, chocolate and malt. This one has a jalepeno pepper character that I have not had with past bottles. It is fairly odd an detracts from the great beer that it is. Flavors are very similar with the jalepeno flavor persisting. It has a great body and mouthfeel. This is the first of several bottles I’ve had that have had this peppery flavor. It has been sitting in my basement for some time, so that is the probably cause. Hopefully they will make this one again. I will score it based on my previous experiences though.

12 oz. bottle from Riley’s Wines of the World in Madison, WI. Very dark, nearly black, pour with a very thin beige head. Big roasted coffee aroma with dark chocolate and oatmeal (wow, bet you didn’t see that coming). Certainly a beer for coffee beer lovers as this one offers plenty of that in the flavor. Some bitter chocolate on the finish. This is a very good beer.

Pours black with almost no head. Aromas bitter dark chocolate and oats. Flavor is totally coffee with a little chocolate covered oats. Creamy palate coating. Excellent beer.

Pours a dark pitch black color with a thick foamy beige head. Good retention and nice lacing. Dark roasted coffee aroma with hints of chocolate maltiness, oatmeal and toffee. Roasted oatmeal chocolate maltiness with a nice roasted coffee flavor. Hints of toffee, nut and very subtle hops with a dry finish. Very smooth because the roasted coffee flavor is not overwhelming. Extremely quaffable and delicious.
