Tons of mocha coffe aroma minus any creamy milk and some burnt flavors going on. Thin but enjoyable body, roasty coffee, sweet vanilla sugar. Nothing crazy or overly complex but nice coffee beer. riversideAK (2685), Shoreline, Washington, USA

Nose is espresso and lightly sweet chocolate. Dark brown, thin tan ring. Espresso and sweet-ish dark malts in the flavor. Not too much else, but tasty espresso flavors linger. Very drinkable, with a nice dry finish. jbye4334 (658), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 15, 2009 Bottle . Thanks to Kira for sharing this. Small brown head that mostly lasted. Black color. Fair display of lacework. Aroma of cold coffee, roasted malt, mild liquorish, mild floral and ashy feel. Medium bodied with a soft carbonation. Moderated sweet flavor with light bitter notes. Lingering coffee and roasted malty finish. Enjoyable sweet stout. MrChopin (632), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 29, 2009 Bottle thanks to Glouglouburp! Dark brown with a thin cream head, mainly bubbles. Some roast in the nose with some dark coffee, but the grind is approaching green/hot pepper like spice that shows some degradation. Flavor exhibits some of this as well, too green despite the nice coffee. Lightly ashy body, bitter finish that leaves light chocolate and coffee lingering, and surprisingly, is slightly warming. I wish this was a bit purer. probstk (1027), Nepean, Ontario, Canada
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 23, 2009 341 ml bottle from SAQ, served at cellar temperature in a tulip glass.
App.: Deep brown-black with a fair mocha froth.
Aroma: Strong and very ashen/minerally black coffee, almost dusty, a little dark chocolate if you dig,
Palate: Medium+ body, almost flat, smooth and slick.
Flav.: Better than the nose, mainly black coffee with some dark chocolate, light grape notes, still some mineral/ash but much, much less than on the nose; kinda sweet with good bitterness and a pleasant coffee/chocolate finish, lingers for quite some time.
The nose is not inviting but the finish is excellent. shawnm213 (917), South Bend, Indiana, USA
