3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Minnesota Winterfest 2012. Black color with no head. Aroma of acrid, dark coffee beans. Tastes like chewing on espresso beans.

Bottle poured a translucent dark reddish brown nearly black with a small lingering brown head. Aromas of coffee, roasted malt and bitter chocolate. Palate was medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of coffee, roasted malt and bitter chocolate with a smooth lingering coffee finish.

The aroma is coffee, malts and a hint of fruit. The flavor is coffee, dark malts and a mild acidity/tartness in the finish. Although I am not a coffee drinker and don’t normally care for these kind of beers, I could appreciate this and it was pretty decent.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pitch black with brown head. Coffee and burnt malt aroma. A rich stout dominated by chocolate, coffee & roasted malts. What’s different from your standard stout is the sour cherry notes this has. Full bodied...a little sharp due to the cherry. I don’t love this but respectable.

Light cherry wood flavor, has a bite to it, few drinks in tastes like cherry flavored dirt. But you get used to it.

Really nice coffee stout, coffee really smacks you in the face. Nice brown head poured from tap. Mouthfeel is really pleasant, coating your mouth in roasted malt and coffee goodness. One of my favorites from Brau!

Pours dark black with small tan head. Roasty and ashy aroma of coffee and caramel with a hint of fruit. Full body and beautiful lacing. Great beer!

Bottle. Pours a dark brown color with a light tan mocha head. Rich aroma of coffee roast and dark chocolate. The aroma is nice but isn’t over stated. Medium mouthfeel. Very roasty upfront with a lingering bitterness. Some leather notes as well. Ends with a little too bitter after taste than I would really like but otherwise it’s ok.

Thanks to Jakers90 for the bottle. Served in a tulip.
Pours near-black with a thin light tan head that quickly subsides into a thin collar without leaving more than a spot or two of lace behind. The nose has a slight cherry presence along with a good dose of coffee and roast. Flavor has a nice combination of cherry and roast, finishing with some dark chocolate. Body is medium to a slightly-dry finish. Pretty good.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
12oz bottle from mtjoseph, thanks Mark! Pours a very deep brown, mostly black colored body with a finger-width, creamy, dark brown head that dissipates slowly and leaves a nice lacing. Aroma is solid. Rich, dark and milky chocolates with lots of fresh coffee and roasts. A touch of vanilla, a light caramel sweetness, and barely a hint of dark fruits. Flavor is similar. Lots of roasts and fresh coffee balanced with plenty of rich, dark and milky chocolates. There is a touch of vanilla and a hint of caramel before this finishes dry, roasty, and moderately bitter with plenty of coffee and chocolates. Lengthy aftertaste following a smooth, medium body and a soft, moderate carbonation. Overall, a really nice coffee stout. Pretty straightforward, but full of coffee, roasts, and rich chocolates. I’m not sure why people were expecting cherry flavors...the coffee company is named "Cherry Bean Coffee." Good beer.

Pours almost black with a dark tan head. Coffee and cherries on the nose. Sour cherries on the palate followed by big coffee flavors. Very nice.
