Nose has a little bit of black cherry, coffee and dark chocolate, with some plum-like dark fruit notes, with faint amounts of roast. Robust, heavy, lightly sweet with coffee and cream and chocolate notes all over this beer throughout the drink. A decadent and unique dessert beer that doesn’t get carried away with the sweetness. Very good.

Coffee. That word about sums up this brew, except that it had a bigger tan head than any cup of coffee that I’ve had. A hint of roasted malt and a dollop of milk chocolate make an appearance in the flavor, but it remains all about the coffee.<br /><br /><font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp?PlaceID=3239><u>Bent River Brewing Company, Moline, IL</u></a><font size=-1><br />

Brown color with a light taupe head. Was not sure what uncommon was until the first sniff. Yep, lots of coffee in this one. Coffee scents with a hint of lactose and a touch of toast. Coffee and mild dark chocolate flavors. The coffee is there and in the forefront, but not overpowering as some that seem to have added instant coffee. A pleasurable coffee stout.

At the brewpub. A dark brown body with some ruby highlights. The head was a light khaki color. The aroma had roasted coffee with some light chocolate. The taste was coffee with some dark chocolate and dry tobacco. The mouthfeel was a little thin. A decent stout.

Reddish black with a pure coffee aroma. Nice smooth flavors with the java not overpowering. Great beer.
