Body is smooth with tingly carbonation. Taste is tart and earthy, metallics, spicy. A bit metallic and tart – age hasn't been overly kind to this one. That's the risk you take! (5-4-4-4-12=2.9)

Appearance: Opaque near black. Finger of mocha small to medium bubbles. Nose: Smoky. Deeply roasted malt. Black coffee notes. touch sweetness. Taste: Dark nearly scorched malts. Bittersweet with chocolate, and dark coffee and smoke. Body: medium to fuller with soft carbonation Parting thoughts: I have no clue what is going on with the name of this beer. it’s potent, complex and flavorful. Pricy and hard to find. Intriguing. You don’t see touches of smoke very often.

Pour is a pure black with a larger than usual tan head. Aroma is chared malt, burnt molasses. Nice and roasted but sweet as well. Flavor is an intense char and dry bitter bakers chocolate. A little roast, molasses and some fudge brownie is left on the tongue. Alcohol is not felt in the mouth but in the chest it is really warming. Not a hoppy Impy stout this is all about the roasted malt.

Christmas Eve At A New York City Hotel Room has a thin, beige head, a very dark brown (essentially black) appearance, and no glass lacing.

Taste is of chocolate, malt, raisin, dark bread crust, and just a touch of acrid bitterness. Mouthfeel is medium to heavy and velvety, and CEAANYCHR finishes sweet and strong. RJT

33 bottle shared, Bottle thanks to Bartlebier. Apperance: Opaque pitch black body, with a medium sized brown head that lasts for a decent while. Aroma: dark malts, chocolate, lightly roasty, leaves,caramel. Taste: dark malts, chocolate, light roast, leaves, caramel , solid dark malty bitterness and even some nice hops for a stout. Very refined in taste. Oily texture, full body, a bit too much carbonation for it’s style, slightly above average I would say. Taste is really balanced out, and a prime example of the style, except for that too powerfull carbonation.

355ml bottle. Black with a small thin beige head. Chocolate, roasted malts, coffee, caramel, dark fruits and liquorice. Complex and good.
