this beer is delicious. Plain and simple. Deep, dark, and rich. I feel like I could drink this instead of coffee in the morning.
Another winner from Bells.

Pours black with tan head that slowly diminishes. Aroma is smoky and full of coffee with hints of chocolate. The body is medium to full. The taste is all about coffee. Really nice roasted flavors. with a lingering bitter finish. very nice.

Very good stout. Small tan head. Light on the palate which is good for this type of stout. Nose is chocolate, caramel here and there, and strong coffee. Really enjoyed this one. Cheers!

Pours brown with a thin tan head. Smells of coffee, chocolate, some spicy hints, roasted malt, vanilla. Tastes sweet and semi bitter with a coffee flavor that is complimentary rather than the dominant feature. Some dark fruity hints emerge on the finish. The body on this one is slick. Very enjoyable beer.

4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20 mike mcneil (660) - St Augustine, Florida, USA - SEP 27, 2008
Pours from the bottle a deep black/ebony color under a 1/2 " dense tan head. Attractive foam retention with creamy, paisley shaped swirls accumulated on the surface. No lacing noted. Aromas nicely show off a rich, dense freshly ground espresso bean presence supported by fainter smells of vanilla bean, dark chocolate and blackstrap molasses. Mouthfeel was great for this beer style being creamy and smooth, but not overtly heavy or thick. Initial flavor starts out bittersweet with notes of dark espresso, semi-sweet chocolate, roasted malts and vanilla cream. Finishes with some mild alcohol warmness and a touch of hop/fresh-brewed coffee bitterness and acidity. If you’re looking to sample a coffee flavored stout I would say this would be one of the best to try.

Black with tan head, which lasts. Obvious coffee aromas, which are the dominating force in the taste was well. Creamier body reflects vanilla and caramel notes as well. Pretty well organized, bittering hop finish and a nice eye opener of a beer.

Pours black with a light brown head. A very aesthetically pleasing beer. Smells of hot chocolate, caramel coffee and "java coffee".Wow coffee, malt, and that blended coffee drink i can’t think of the name of it oh wait...java. Very good yet slight chalky aftertaste.
