On tap at the brewpub.
Pours very dark with burgandy highlighs and a small but nice head.
The flavor is sweet canned-cold-latte with a bit of overcooked coffee, but no hint of the 8%. While this is not a standout overall, the beer is plenty drinkable.

Jul 14, 2006 On tap at the brewpub on 4/27/06: Pours a nearly opaque black with dark brown edges and a frothy tan head. Aroma of rich caramel java and dark chocolate, but somewhat subdued. Body starts with a mild dark caramel and milk chocolatey sweetness with good coffee bean mocha balance. A smooth and balanced beer, but a little thin.

May 5, 2006 Draft @ Arbor Brewing: Very dark brown to black color with a think brown head. The aroma was coffee over big amounts of butterscotch. Roasted malt in the aroma as well. Sweet roasted malt flavor with notes of chocolate and a big black coffee finish. Medium bodied.

Mar 20, 2006 draught. deep black body with a small ring of mocha head. fairly typical for a sweet stout - nothing out of the ordinary. some oily chocolate roast and raisin in the aroma with a touch of sweetness. tastes sweeter than I would have expected but has a fair share of mild bitter coffee roastiness. straightforward for the most part but it’s still quite tasty.
