so i had to roll all the way down to athens to score this fine brew. Had it at its 05 release party at the wild wing cafe. Very black, very much coffee in the aroma, even more coffee in the body. I thought it was extrememly smooth, i could drink it all night, and i did.

Bottle thanks to craftbeerdesign. Thanks again, again. Pours a really dark ruby tinged black with a 1 finger foamy tan head. Coffee is the aroma. Medium body with foamy carbonation. Flavor is really coffee - not espresso - but lots of strong coffee. No chocolate. The coffee is so strong it’s like sucking grounds. Sort of backs off and mellows out in the end. This is really a classic coffee stout. Oatmeal? Could be. The burnt malt is almost submerged by the coffee. Really good stuff.

Almost identical to the Wired Straight Stout, although I find this to be a little thicker and maltier. Creamier palate as well, still with nice coffee presence. The body could be more balanced though with, perhaps, a touch less sweetness and the aroma more pronounced. Hides its alcohol well, but isn’t that strong to begin with. Still, a very nice beer from Terrapin.

2007 neck label. Dark beer with a foamy brown head. Nose of espresso coffee, toffee and bitter chocolate. The flavor is also dominated by the coffee, with lots of chocolate, white sugar, caramel corn, vanilla and butter. Smooth, almost slick, mouthfeel. Big beer with tons of flavor. If you like your coffee and your beer at the same time, this is your drink.

Rerate Detect a hint of pepper this time around - still solid from the bottle - plenty of roasted coffee goodness. Original 3.8 On tap at the Mellow Mushroom in downtown, Athens, Ga. Tar black pour, with a medium thin, but sticky mocha colored head that leaves a generous coat of lacing. Aroma has hints of coffee with some essence of licorice. Bold flavor with fresh espresso, baker’s chocolate, black licorice and some brandy in the finish. Smokiness pervades throughout. Mouthfeel is thick and creamy. A most enjoyable treat with my pizza.
