Pours very dark with mocha head and spotty lacing. The aroma is burnt malts, earthiness, a touch of black licorice, hints of oxidation and molasses. The taste is smooth and neutral to start and then running into earthy oxidation, burnt malts and just noticeable nearly bitter dark chocolate. It gets dry and roasty with some astringency and mild amounts of bitter chocolate into the finish and after taste.

Nice black colored beer with a small foamy textured, light tan head. There's not much hang time and no lacing. Bitter, smokey chocolate and citric dominates the profile. Medium bodied and smooth.

I liked this one. Not super strong for an IPS, so drinks fairly easy. I didnt' even notice the 8.1%, felt more like 6-7%.....except for the buzz of course! The chocolate and coffee stand out, but not overwhelming of coffee. Good hop finish too. Tastes sort of like one of my favorite stouts (8-ball), but more chocolate/coffee, stronger, and not as smooth.

Aroma is strong and smoky with firm tones of fine coffee and unsweetened chocolate. It pours a deep, opaque coffee brown with a nice tan head. Flavor is rich, like a fine and slightly sweet mocha with hints of molasses and licorice. Sublime texture is smooth and tingly, quite pleasing.

Beer number 6 of my 12 Beers of Christmas 2009. A near black pour with a perfect sustained tight cream head and beautiful massive lacing. Big cocoa upfront then sweet malts, coffee and molasses in the rich aromas. Taste is bittersweet chocolate with some coffee, toffee, roasted malts, and warming goodness in a slight bitter finish. Big nice beautiful stout that is a great treat.

Sampled from bottle. Pours opaque blackened-brown with a generous tan head. Pleasant cocoa aroma that has cinnamon notes. Balanced. Roasted malt and cocoa flavor. Nice fruitiness from the yeast. The cocoa makes it a little bitter in the finish. Full-bodied and smooth. After having brewed a few chocolate stouts, I'm very impressed with the beer in that there is pretty good head retention and the balance of the beer accentuates the chocolate well. Solid.

Pours black with short, airy head. Aroma boasts dark chocolate and toasted wood notes. The flavor is rich, rich, rich with chocolate. Easily the most chocolately beer I've tried. It's a perfect semi-sweet chocolate with enough coffee character to lend a clean, dry finish. Medium bodied with ample carbonation. Notable warming.

pored into a glass and has very little head if any. aroma was malty with chocolate toffee w/ a hint of alcohol. the taste was chocolate and coffee w/ the slight alcohol burn at the fiinish. not a bad beer.
