12oz bottle. Pours jet black with a thin mocha colored head. Aroma of roasted coffee, dark chocolate, and some hoppy bitterness. Taste is bitter coffee, espresso, dark chocolate, and burnt toast.

Bottle - Pours black with a nice thick coffee head. Huge aroma of coffee and a creamy mouthfeel. I’m not a huge coffee fan but I liked this one.

The Java Stout pours nice and dark with a tan brown head that leaves pleasant lacing. The aroma is mostly coffee with some chocolate and caramel mixed in. The flavor mostly follows suit but there is a hint of floral hops. Overall this is delicious and I recommend you have one or two. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

The color of this beer is a very dark brown with a small off-white head, and the aroma is purely of coffee beans. The taste is mildly sweet, mildly bitter, and slightly umami, which is like a not-too-strong cup of coffee; furthermore, the palate combines a slick texture, full body, soft carbonation, and a long bitter finish that is reminiscent of slightly old and room temperature coffee, but this isn’t necessarily a bad thing because the body of the beer counteracts the negative connotations of old coffee due to the robustness of the mothfeel.

Draft at Proof. Black pour with a creamy tan head. Rich aroma of chocolate chip cookies, roasted malts and fresh ground coffee beans. Thick, rich chocolate flavor, espresso with roasted malts and a earthy finish. Creamy mouthfeel and smooth carbonation. Damn tasty.

pores a beautiful jet black, with caramel colored head. Head dissipates quickly, but has aromas of caramels and coffee. great lacing that stays for the entire beer. hints of caramel and vanilla upon first taste. this is an amazing blend of stout and coffee. I don’t know how bells does it, but every beer I’ve had is simply amazing. this is most certainly the best coffee stout I have ever had. perfect 5, no doubt about it!!!!

12 oz bottle pours a very dark brown, almost black color with small tan head and good lacing. Smells of coffee and roasted malts. Aroma is dominated by coffee, but with enough roasted malts and a touch of chocolate for balance. Body is thinner than I expect for a stout. Mouthfeel is creamy without too much carbonation. Taste is bitter coffee with a short dry finish. An excellent coffee stout, which I avoided for a couple of years because of the price of a 6-pack of these.

Lovely bitter coffee flavor with notes of roasted malts and chocolate. Black in color with khaki head that leaves lacing. One of the best stouts I’ve had featuring the taste of "java".

coffee coffee and more coffee. Roasted espresso. This is a coffee stout. Body is a tad thin for my taste but about where a 7.5% usually is. My only complaint is that this is pretty expensive for a 6 pack.

Bottle to pint, pours thick oily black with a tan head, great looking brew. Aroma is great as well, good amount of coffee on the nose. Taste is spectacular...roasted coffee to the max. Very well done, one of the best stouts out there.
