Bottled. Dark brown. Roasty coffee aroma. Dry and medium bodied. Hoppy. Salty licorice dominates until the really bitter finish.

Black color. Light aroma, some caramel, roasted malt and paperboard. Roasted malt caramel and malt taste; very light coffee presence in the bitter finish. Ordinary.

Dark porter, stoutish in appearance. Serious coffee aroma -- do a blind smell test and you’d have trouble picking out the Starbucks. Flavor is bitter coffee. Between this and the Java Stout, it’s clear Larry likes his coffee almost as much as he likes his beer.

Dark brown with reddish glimts. Sweet aroma with plenty of roasted malt, chocolate and caramel. Sweet flavour with roasted malt, chocolate and coffee notes.
