Poured from bomber into a snifter. A - Pour is dark and forms a thin mocha head which quickly dissipates. S - Chocolate, roasted malt and coffee with a nice boozy note. Some minor hops shining through. T - A nice mix of the usual chocolate, coffee, and roasted malt with a nice alcohol bite. Some bitterness from the hops, but overpowered by the above qualities. M - Smooth and creamy with a light carbonation. A great stout.

I had this at Torst in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, NY.

This comes in a very deep black color as expected with a dark brown head.

The aroma has a roasted malt and sweet chocolate. Rich toffee and caramel sweetness.

The flavor is creamy strong roasted malt and burnt coffee or espresso. It's a very deep and rich beer.

There is a boozy middle and finish. It is a big roast and dark rich beer bomb. A full beer. Not for the weak palated.

Serving type: on-tap

Bomber bought for $12.99. Poured into a chalice.

An average beer. One I would prefer to avoid considering the availability of some many above average beers. Unlikely that I will drink again unless someone convinces me to re-review.

A - Poured a reddish black (almost black), viscous, beautfitul dark reddish brown thin head which disipates quickly. NIce brown lacing.

S - Heavy dark chocoloate aromas, roasted malts, some alcohol(-).

T - Dark roasted coffee, some dark fruit, very light sweetness, slight coffee bitterness in the finish, alcohol.

M - Smooth, creaminess, but some excessive alcohol hotness (-).

Poured bomber into 34oz mug. Darkest pour I have ever seen, jet black with a thick, dense dark brown head that doesn't go anywhere, leaving lots of lacing. Smells of chocolate, bourbon, sweet malt and coffee. Taste is bitter baking chocolate, some bourbon sweetness in the middle, and ending with a coffee bitter aftertaste that swing in way late, rounding out nicely. Insanely delicious, with one of the fullest mouthfeels I've had. This is definitely a "double oatmeal RIS". This is now one of my favorite stouts. Incredibly well-done!
