4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Almost too dark to distinguish color, bit mahogany seems about right. Average head, smells of GOOD coffee! Tastes of GOOD coffee! Absolutely delicious.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
[12oz bottle courtesy of Bullit @ cgarvieuk tasting] As you’d expect from a coffee stout, pours black with a tan head. Quite a smoky aroma, mingling with the coffee reminded me a big of cigarettes. On the palate lots of coffee, a touch of dark chocolate and more cigs. Despite this, it was actually really good and very drinkable. Good warming finish, too [28012010]
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bottle. Pours a dark mahogany, thinner tan head. Loads of coffee in the aroma with espresso coming through, but with some slight roastedness and sweetness. Caramel is light, but coffee comes on strong in the flavor with bitter roasted malt that carries it all really well. Thinner to medium body with subtler carbonation. Great drinking, and a coffee bomb but not over the top.

3.6 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle pours medium-thick almost black with one finger tan head. Very nice coffee aroma. Taste strongly coffee, everything else secondary but also with some roast and chocolate. medium finish of roast. Thick palate without being syrupy. Alcohol disguised.
I like coffee stouts but this one doesn’t have much except the coffee. Would be helped by a better balance.
