Nov 1, 2007 Bottle Black pour with small head and great lacing. Coffee aroma with a burnt coffee flavor. A bit astringent. Not the greatest coffee brew I’ve had, but not bad. Honestly, its the same astringency I’ve had in homebrew, think its from aging the coffee.

Nov 1, 2007 Bottle thanks to gregis
Black pour with a tan head. Smell was of strong roast coffee, wet burnt gritty coffee grounds, and a twinge of metal. Taste was strongly of coffee, but smooth, and very creamy. Again maybe a hint of metal, but not enough to really detract much. Wet charred coffee bean flavor in a good way. Very drinkable, perfectly bitter, and spot on body and carbonation. I loved this beer!

Oct 26, 2007 I had to give this one high overall marks simply because of the Sumatran roast that they used. Unlike the Terrapin coffee brew, this one had a richer taste. The finish tasted like actual roasted coffee, complete with a nice, bitter kick. If you like coffee brews, pick one of these up. If you don’t, stay away from it. The Terrapin brew tasted more like instant coffee than this one. Good stuff.

Oct 25, 2007 12 oz. bottle. black pour, head of brown froth with good lacing. Aroma of fresh brewed roast coffee, burnt malt, earthy, heavy chocolate. hop bitterness up front with with a full bodied texture. Sweet at first then turns bitter. Overall tastes of... well, coffee... lots of coffee. A little much for my liking -- though good beer no doubt.

Oct 21, 2007 Bottle. It’s a Bell’s stout taste fest! Pours opaque black with a dark, medium sizes head. The aroma is, what else? More coffee ice cream than coffee.
Taste is a little bitter for my taste, but I’m not a coffee drinker.

Oct 18, 2007 Updated: Oct 19, 2007Dark pour, dark head, what did you think? Big coffee nose. Flavor profile had lots of coffee again, but there is a nice chocolate element in there as well. Problem is that the coffee is not so well incorporated into the beer. Tastes like wet, used coffee grounds. Not completely disgusting, not my favorite Bells offering.

Oct 17, 2007 The score is all of the effort here: Great thick black body and definitely a ’quality’ beer but it turns out I hate coffee stouts

Oct 17, 2007 Pours dark dark with a small tan head. Smells like sweet chocolatey roasted coffee. The flavor is bittersweet chocolate and lots of coffee. A nice slight bitterness on the finish.
