May 26, 2006 Growler. Poured a very dark brown color witha ruby tint and a small tan head. The aroma was fruity with coffee and light ash. Coffe flavored with roasty malt. Some tartness like you sometimes get with coffee. Dry bitter finish. Light to medium bodied.

Mar 11, 2006 Growler. Opaque brown with small head. Bitter coffee aromas, with some sweet cola chocolate notes. Sweet chocolate malt flavors, with coffee. Thin and watery unfortunately, which was the big killer for me.

does not count  Mar 8, 2006 One of my first coffee stouts. And it’s actually made with espresso, not coffee, from a local coffee shop in Chattanooga. Looks black with just a little bit of light shining through, not completely opaque. Smell is of roasted espresso(coffee) and chocolate, hops are barely detectable. Taste has a lot of espresso in the front of it with chocolate and malty goodness going on. Really good taste. Lots of roasted qualities. Moutfeel is definitely thin for this, especially for a stout, but it’s not weightless, just needs some more body. Even though the mouthfeel is lacking, I drank about 6 of these in a night and could have had more. I love coffee stouts. So if you don’t like coffee or espresso, stay away, but otherwise, this a good choice.
