Bottle: Dark brown with ruby edges and a large tan head. Nose is rich of roasted malt, coffee, and dark fruit. Tasted full of heavy roasted malt, bittersweet cocoa, coffee, and sweet/citrus fruits. Nice, thick body. Thank you JCB for sending this.

Bottle pours a thick inky black with a huge solid brown head. Lots of dark eoasted malts, dark pitted fruits, purple grapes. Flavor is huge smokey roasted malys and lots of bittering with a noticeable ABV note. crazy thick smooth palate and a long bitter sharp trailer. HUGE beer and tasty. Tanks to Jake for that one.

Bottle courtesy of Moejuck: Poured a deep black color stout with a small dirty brown color head with average retention and some lacing. Aroma of coffee is quite dominating with some weird dry hops. Taste is a mix between some dry coffee, some bitter roasted malt and a dry ending with some hops. Body is quite full with some low carbonation and no alcohol was discernable. I thought the taste was just way too dry to be enjoyable and would have appreciated some sweetness to balance this thing out. Quite glad I got the chance to try this but can’t say I truly enjoyed the experience.

sample from bottle - Pours black with a thin tan head. Chocolate and dark roast malts lead an enjoyable aroma. The flavor has huge roast malts, coffee, alcohol, and moderate hops that balance the big, thick malts very well and lead into a strong hops finish. Good stuff.

Bottle (thanks to TURDFERGUSON). Chocolate and charcoal malt aroma. Oil black with small head. Sweet dark coffee malt flavor initially that is quickly overwhelmed by a strong bitter/atringent/harsh alcohol flavor. Smoky and bitter aftertaste. This is a pretty rough beer - a bit too extreme on the bitterness for me.
