Pours very black with a medium brown fluffy head. Moderate lacing.

Smells of burnt malts and thick, dense coffee grounds.

A profound coffee/espresso flavor masks a heavy burnt malt/burnt wood flavor. Behind that lies a solid chocolate malt and some mild spices.

Medium in body with a heavy dose of carbonation. The carbonation serves to accent the coffee/burnt flavors heavily.

This was a major surprise. I had heard about this one, but had never really given it much thought until I realized I knew the name when looking in the store. Fantastic coffee flavor in this one, moreso than I could have imagined, yet its not as overwhelming as the first sip, and really ends up fantastically easy to down. Not even a hint of the 9.5% alcohol really, its hidden behind that massive coffee and malt explosion. Excellent brew I *will* be revisiting.

Poured black as night, it was served with a collared khaki head of thick foam and had nice lacing.

The scent is nicely varied with chocolate malt, caramel, marshmallow, light espresso and overtures of roasted coffee.

The taste is more coffee-centric, with a strong roast and char presence. Bits of dry chocolate are there but very little sweetness. The beer is smooth, with no visible alcohol presence. Very good flavor, great scent, very good beer.

Serving type: on-tap
