Very dark brown. Thin head. On the nose, a fair bit of a coffee and a little bit of chocolate. Soft body, nice chocolate note. Good balance – on the sweet side as per the style, but a little bit of that Viet coffee thing.

On tap at The Beer Research Institute, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out lots of coffee, considerable sweetness from what I gather is lactose and light roast. Flavour is more heavy on the coffee upfront, followed by light lactose and a little vanilla. This is a coffee bomb though. Really nice for what it is.

Draft at the source. Opaque brown/black color, beige head. Aroma of brownies dipped in coffee. Nice coffee grounds roasty flavor, but still beery enough. Light body. Nice.

Poured up on tap at the brewpub where it exhibits a deep dark mahogany to black body that supports a mocha colored head. The aroma offers up big bold dark roasted coffee goodness rimmed thinly by a mild sweet note that seems a bit toffee like. The taste is full and robust with dark roasted malts and near oily dark roasted coffee notes. Wow. Big rich coffee goodness. It seems this might be just too roasty for its own good but a pleasing sweet note lurks around in the background keeping this thing under control. The yummy coffee dark roastiness just lingers and lingers deep into the after taste. Very nice roasty beer. Man!
