Look: 10
One of the blackest beer I've ever seen! I don't even think Avery's Mephistopheles was darker than this. Medium light brown head with little retention, but great lacing

Smell: 10
Dark roast coffee, roasted malt, chocolate, bourbon.


Taste: 10
Up Front: Espresso, chocolate, vanilla. Finish: Sweet malt, bourbon, roasted malt - absolutely decadent!!!

Mouthfeel: 9.5
Full body, low/medium carbonation, and very creamy

Drinkability: 9.5
I did not want it to end, but it would be hard to drink more than one of these

Overall Score: 9.8

Value: 8.5 ???
Cost/12 oz serving: $6.41 - Considering that it is currently rated #8 on BA's Top Beers on Planet Earth.........I'll take it. Hell, I was just happy to find it. If you see it, buy it!!!

Overall Impression:
Another beer that lives up to the hype! Simply amazing across the board. I was expecting more bourbon and less coffee. Regardless, it's one of the greatest Stouts ever!
