boboski (1095), Alabama, USA Mar 27, 2007 Opaque black body, thick looking. Thin, rapidly diminishing tan head. Roasted malt, chocolate and coffee dominate the aroma, with hints of caramel, sugar. Flavor is much the same and not as impressive as the nose. Finishes robustly bitter and medium dry, chocolate and coffee bean grittiness lingering. Palate is medium bodied, moderately dry and exceedingly bitter at times. Decent stout, quite earthy throughout. The aroma was the only part of this that was truly memorable. LadyCooper (100), Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada Mar 13, 2007 Pours opaque dark brown with a light brown head. Has a very distinct coffee aroma. A bit of a coffee taste, along with some caramel malt taste. Big espresso aftertaste. Gives ya a big wallop of caffeine buzz! I’m not a coffee drinker, this had me jittering all night. TipsyMcStager (900), Calgary, Alberta, Canada Mar 7, 2007 Light coffee, roasty aroma. Pours an opaque black with a tan head. Chocolate and coffee notes. Oily palate. Dry and somewhat astringent finish. Body is light. CaptainCougar (5379), Rockville, Maryland, USA Feb 2, 2007 Bottle sampled on 7/2/06 thanks to TheBeerCellar2: Pours a clear mostly opaque black with a frothy ring of tan head. Aroma has lots of coffee and caramel and roasty malt notes with some good dark chocolate. Body starts with a full, sweet caramel malty palate and good roasty coffee balance with a smooth dark chocolatey finish. A nice, flavorful coffee stout. cbkschubert (1945), Cochise Co., Arizona, USA Jan 23, 2007 1 Litre bottle brought back from Canada by my mother-in-law - Pours a dark brown color with a one finger thick light tan head.
