UPDATED: JUN 27, 2020 Bottle. Pours black with a lingering domed tan head. Banana, chocolate, dry coffee powder, toast. Medium body. Not great.

UPDATED: JUN 17, 2020 Coffee and chocolate flavors are the main driving forces here. Very well blended together. Bitter roasted finish. Very nice!

UPDATED: FEB 20, 2020 Keg at Downtown Johnny Brown’s, San Diego, CA on 21/03/2008. Holy moly, this was one of the best bars I visited in the US, and the guy working there kept the place open for us (on a slow Monday night) and let me try everything on the taps. However, this was the first thing I gravitated to, and boy was it good. A super rich, smooth, roasty, coffee-ish and cocoa nuanced stout. Yum.

UPDATED: DEC 29, 2019 Black but with some warm amber tones, tan head which doesn’t last. Aroma of roast coffee and chocolate. Taste is dominated by roast coffee, but with some brown sugar. Medium bodied. Nice.

UPDATED: NOV 15, 2019 Found out of bottle. Pours a pitch black with medium lasting white foam. Light aroma. Bit of a slight boozy aftertaste. Good winter beer.

UPDATED: AUG 16, 2019 The aroma is figs/dates, slight chocolate and coffee. Pours dark brown wand the finish th amber hue, beige head fully diminishing and good lacing. The taste is a light bitter. The body is medium, the texture creamy, the carbonation average. This is a few years old, doesn't age particularly well.

UPDATED: JUL 26, 2019 Bottle. Dry dark roast, brown foam on a black body. Medium body, Belgian dry funk, light fruit. Nice chocolate covered orange peel finish.

UPDATED: JUL 7, 2019 Starts light before building in strength, just like any good 90’s power ballad.

UPDATED: JUN 4, 2019 Pours black with full, tan head. Aroma is coffee, roast and Belgian yeast. Taste is brown sugar, moving to roast, coffee and Belgian yeast. Finish is roast. A good Belgian stout.

UPDATED: MAY 25, 2019 Poured from 12 oz bottle into tulip glass. A 2' tan pillowy head falls slowly with mild lacing. Color is dark reddish-brown. Strong aroma of rich roasted barley, chocolate, coffee, spice and hops. Mouthfeel is heavy with dry, powdery finish. Flavors of dark roasted malt, chocolate, coffee, orange peel, raisin, earthy hops. Overall: extremely good.
