Clear deep golden amber color. Massive grapefruity dry hopped nose that is very dry and big. Medium body big hop assault. Dry with modest malt backbone. Long dry bitter finish. Standard PP stuff. Excellent.

Bottle courtesy of rlgk. Pours hazy dark hazel brown with a small frothy mocha head that leaves some sparse thick lacing on the glass while dissipating. Smell is malty with caramel, toffee, vanilla fudge, charred wood, milk chocolate, sweetened coffee, caramelized almonds, moist soil and bourbon alcohol. Taste sweet, bitter and malty. Mouthfeel is soft, round, slightly astringent, slightly boozy and medium to full bodied. Finish is sweet and bitter with caramel, sweet dark bread, toffee, vanilla fudge, charred wood, dark chocolate, nescafé, moist soil and bourbon alcohol. Good but a bit unrefined at the moment. Glad I have a bottle cellared. I suspect it’ll be great in a year or so... --- Beer merged from original tick of Beeramisu on 27 Nov 2015 at 21:09 - Score: 7

On tap at Harry’s Hofbrau. I assume Kevin must have laid this keg down for a whlie. Moderate high pine with bright ripe citrus. Clear orange-amber with a massive, billowy white head. Taste is assertive citrus and pine mixed together. Moderate high bitterness holds this back from being a great beer.

Bottled, sampled at Darkness Day 2015 i believe. Dark black. Lots of coffee, and surprisingly dry given the name. I expected it to be sweeter, to stand up tot the coffee. medium palate, heavy roast, vanilla, and some alcohol.

Tasting glass draft @ Van Moll Brewpub. Ruby amber black, creamy solid mocha head. Nose is powdery, grainy mocha, chocolate, instant coffee. Taste is coffee, grainy, powdery, light milk chocolate, instant coffee. Body is thin, instant coffee & cheap chocolate. Okay but nothing crazy.

Draft at Beer Temple. Pours near black with a small tan head. Aroma of rich malt, roast, light overripe dark fruit, cocoa powder and light coffee. Flavour is over moderate sweet and moderate bitter. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

Tap @ van Moll during Pizza Port tap take over, medium sample. Clear golden color, short head. Aroma of some citrus and grapefruit. Quite bitter, grassy bitterness, some biscuity malt to back it up. Decent stuff.
