On tap at Bad Apple. Pours near black with tan head. Aromas of roasted malts, good dose of coffee, and some chocolate. Flavors roasted malts, semi-sweet chocolate, and nice smooth coffee flavor. Mouthfeel was perfect for coffee stout. As far as coffee stouts go this was pretty damn good.

From a growler that turned up at Flossmoor’s pre-DLD party. I have got to visit this place next time we’re in Louisville. Holy coffee...in a good way. This was seriously like a beer inspired espresso and not vice versa. I love coffee and this was awesome. Creamy, oily and bitter. Lovely.

Aroma of coffee, lightly acidic berries and chocolate. Appearance was black with mocha head. Flavor matched the nose; the berries were quite bright and pleasant, making this a unique imperial stout. Palate was oily and creamy. Excellent.
