COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
The satisfying elements of both stout and coffee come together in this full-bodied treat. A marriage of Sumatra's best with rich chocolate and roasted malt provides for a truly enlightening beer.

Wow. Nutty coffee combined with Bell’s delicious stout, this beer will awaken all your senses.

Pours dark as night with a decent tan head. Nose is coffee, nutty, coffee, dry leaves and coffee. The coffee isn’t your run of the mill coffee smell though, it is strong has characteristics I’ve noted in some Kopi coffees. Flavor is great balance of sweet, salt and bitter although the coffee and hops packs a pretty bitter aftertaste. Sits on the palate quite a while, very sharp with a medium to full body. This beer is one of the better coffee stouts I’ve had!

UPDATED: FEB 13, 2012 12 oz bottle pours black with a tan head. Aroma is basically coffee and a hint of sweet chocolate. Coffee is a major component of the taste. Great beer

This stout actually tastes like strong black coffee. I’d rather have one of these in the morning instead. Awesome beer!

Sweet malty caramel aroma. Pours a dark black with little to no head. Very malty, coffee taste with a choclaty caramel hint. Not overpoweringly strong. One of the top coffee stouts i have encountered.
