Deep brown coloured body with a thin tan head. Aroma of strong almonds, nuts, malt, chocolate and a touch of toffee. Medium-bodied; Assertive malty and coffee flavour with some nuts, caramel and even a light spice in the taste. Aftertaste shows mostly bitter coffee, a touch of nuts and a good amount of sugars. Overall, a decent beer - a bit too thin, and too weak on the flavours - but not horrible at all, and definitely worth trying if you go up to the GTA. I sampled this 33 cL bottle purchased from the LCBO in Downtown Ottawa, Ontario, Canada on 08-April-2009, sampled at home in Washington on 21-December-2009.

Bottle at HogTownHarry Fest ’08. Black with thin tan head. Coffee, lots of coffee. Slightly congealed in mouth, some hop. Smooth. Bit of milky coffee.

Bottle, 5.5%. Roasted and bitter coffee aroma. Very dark brown colour with a red shine. Small brown head. The flavour has some coffee and a hint of sour cardboard. Late bitterness, like coffee and chocolate.

Thanks Mabel for sharing! Poured an inky dark black, near opaque with a nicely thick nearly brown head. Aroma was rich with a chocolatey sweet coffee. Hint of roast in the background. This is one of the better smelling coffee beers I’ve tried. Medium chocolate and roast flavors, medium to light body, with a distinct coffee flavor that leads into a cold coffee bitterness in the finish. Like many coffee beers, it lacks a certain depth and fullness. Medium to semi-dry finish.

Bottle at Stockholm Beer Festival 2007
Black color. Aroma of coffee grounds. Quite watery mouthfeel, with some coffee and black malt, not as dry as European Ales, but poor for me.

Black with large lasting brown head. Nice roasted mocha nose. Good dry roasted espresso profile, lasting bitterness in the finish. Nice !!
