In league with kbs.

Pours a jet black that seems almost thick and creamy, resembling motor oil in more than color, but (presumably) not in consumptive appreciation! An excellent foamy, yet creamy brown/mocha head with superb retention and a good lace. Aroma is dominated by deeply roasted coffee with hints of stout malts exemplified by oats, though these are very negligible in contrast to the overwhelming coffee aroma that would be near indistinguishable from a freshly brewed espresso. On the tongue, this delicious, but bold, strong (9.5% ABV), and bitter beer begins with light oak and oat notes, though these are quickly eradicated by the bitter drying of extremely bold coffee flavours that entirely mask the alcohol. Some chocolate and hops dryness are discernible if considered explicitly, but everything is muted by the force of the coffee. Everything one would expect from the style. Quintessential. Not for everyone, but near perfect for those who'd like it! Even creamier and sweeter, as to be expected, when on nitrogen tap.

Bitter; very faint coffee flavor

Bitter

This is a pretty damn bold beer. Damn!
