Appearance - 5.0
As black and thick as you could take it. Like a Guinness, but with a more CO2 head (yellowy, and fuzzier rather than the white foam you'd get from the NO2 widget)
Aroma - 4.0
The scent isn't as strong as other beers, it kinda keeps to itself. You can almost take out notes of the coffee in the nose though.
Mouthfeel - 5.0
Smooth, only slightly bubblier than Guinness. Rich and full body comes out even more on the outside of the tongue.
Taste - 5.0
This beer slaps Guinness in the face and calls it a pansy. Strong, but not bitter. The coffee gives a real rich finish.
Overall - 5.0
Among my favorite beers. Great for sipping on a winter evening. Pairs well with a cigar, but even better with my pipe and a blend of cavandish or dark tobacco.
