    Big beefy black stout. Swirl this stuff around to unsettle the gunk on the bottom and its the best pour ever for a tremendous visual presentation! Rolling top half of brew. Coffee aroma, what else? Big black cold coffee impact. Once you go black you’ll never come back is what my dad used to say! Strong like too much coffe was used to brew it. If you heat this up I think you can repair the cracks in the asphlt driveway with it. Quite strong and suppressive. On par with Founders breakfast stout. Finish is, well, what else, youwser youwser big black coffe and bitter need not be said. Probably should be rated as an imperial stout, not just plain stout!

    Rated May 2008. Pours dark dark brown with light brown head. The aroma is coffee, a hint of chocolate mixed with bosco, spicy mustard sauce and mild roasty malts. The taste is somewhat different than the aroma with rich malts, chocolate and coffee. Wow, this is rich and nearly decadent in its opulence. Into the finish mild burnt malts and malt astringency add some balance to the experience. It has a healthy dose of YUM.

    From bottle at RBESG 2016 in Barcelona, Grand Tasting. Black colour, small tan head. Roasty aroma and flavour, distinct coffee notes, fairly dry. Better than average.

    Pours out almost a solid black color with no head. The aroma is just of deer roasted malt. The mouthfeel is thick like heavy weight oil. The taste is like a fresh pot of cold coffee. This is really like a creamy cold coffee.

    KnoxBeerCrew tasting brew. Thinnish black pour, bubbly tan head, some lacing. Black coffee aroma, toasted coffee beans, toasted malts, lightly sweet. Same with the flavor: toasted coffee beans, lightly sweet. A tad watery compared to other stouts. Still flavorful.

    Dark brown pour,no head or lace but oils the inside of the glass.Coffee galore in the aroma and the flavour.Complimenting this beer with Guinness flavoured sharp cheddar.Great night cap but think it would be better with bacon in the morning.

    This is a great breakfast beer, its all coffee. Big nose, big flavor. Great way to start brew day. Little one dimensional compared to more dynamic breakfast stouts but it doesn't claim to be one of those and its really tasty.

    OOoooOOOOoooo. This one is big and bold. Pours dark brown with no head. Aroma of coffee and chocolate. Mouthfeel has a nice bite. Flavor is bettered by the bitterness. Nice rendition.

    no subtlety here...a blast of roasted coffee in the nose and more in the flavor, over a solid medium bodied roasty toasty stout. i'd forgot stouts were their thing til i took the first sip. very bittersweet, excellent stout, especially for coffee lovers like me.
