Courtesy of Degarth. Pours deep dark dankness with very carefully poured three finger mocha head (Degarth’s pour ended up an eight finger head). The aroma has some teeth, it is timid at all. I get roasted to burnt malts to ash plus a big pulse of Worcestershire sauce – Tabasco – peppered beef jerky. (What!) The taste experience begins with a carbonation assault that causes burnt malts, ash, singed dark chocolate and roasted coffee to explode across my tongue. By midway it gets a tad chalky before mild malt sweetness shows up as the carbonation eruption subsides. It ends with burnt malts, mild ash and roasted coffee. I don’t know where the odd aroma ended up taste wise. I didn’t really notice it.

Bottle from Ughsmash, I believe - fizzy dark brown pour with a small tan ring (looks like a glass of cola) - overly burnt/roasty aroma, smelling like old cigarette butts in a wet ashtray, with some background malt sweetness that in no way makes up for it - very thin body and flavor (9% my ass) - not very apparent coffee flavor, but it is bitter and roasty - flavors of tobacco and wet, charred wood - some sweetness that can’t even really be properly identified as "malty" lurking in the background - long finish of wet ash - just not very good.

Deep brown-black body, thin creamy tan head. Aroma is all fresh-roasted coffee beans with just a touch of chocolate. Nice medium creamy body with semisweet chocolate leading to coffee beans. Some acidity but it’s kept to a minimum. Well-made and quite flavorful. It looks like this beer’s gone through a few iterations.

2004 bottle. Pours a mostly clear dark brown with plenty of tans and beiges around the edges. Good-sized light coffee colored head. Aroma is powerfully full of coffee beans. Espresso, bitter coffee rinds. Opens up with a big smack in the face of coffee beans. Not coffee that you drink, but a coffee bean that you crunch on. Like those chocolate covered coffee beans, minus the chocolate. Yikes, I guess these guys forgot about the beer. Consistency is watery, if there is beer in this, it's not easy to tell.
