Pours an inky dark brown color with a thin creamy tan head. Decent head retention. Aroma of toasted oats, sweet malts and faint hops. The taste is bitter roasted malts, oats, nuts and bitter hops. Medium bodied. Quite nice.

Growler sampled at Sexual Chocolate Day 2010. Heavy, opaque black with a clumpy, beige head. Heavy coffee aroma, nuts, lacto-sugar, dark chocolate. Flavor is very sweet from the lacto-sugars, caramel, cookie dough. Smooth and full bodied.

Sample at the Downtown location. Pours nearly opaque dark brown/black with a thin tan head that diminishes quickly. Stringy lacing on the glass. Dark chocolate and coffee in the nose. Medium, glassy smooth body with flavors of roasted coffee, semi-sweet chocolate and sweet malt. The finish is roasty with a short mild coffee aftertaste. Above average overall. Pretty sure Capitol City’s Blackout existed before Great Lakes’, but I doubt anyone will ever think of this one first when they hear the name.

Draft at Capitol City location. Dark body with a small tan head. Aromas of roasted coffee. Very smooth with flavors of coffee, chocolate, and roastiness. I was pleasantly suprised with this one.

A dark brown beer with a slight red shine underneath a thick lazing brown head. The aroma is sweet and very roasted malty, while the flavor is sweet malty with a lighter roasted character, and the body is a bit thin.
