It’s like a cold espresso shot, except with alcohol. Had on tap at union station. Pours an opaque black with a creamy light-brown head and good lacing. Very strong aroma of coffee with some toasted malt in there aws well, along with a faint earthy scent I couldn’t quite put my finger on. Beer is very full-bodied, with a smooth, almost oily consistency. Nice beer as a novelty, but wouldn’t make the list of my favorite imperial stouts.

Jul 22, 2008 On tap downtown. Darker brown, clearer with a thin dense tan ring head. Coffee stout nose, atypical. A bit of roast, but mostly old McDonalds coffee. Dry, some floral hops. Substantial with low but above average carbonation. Big coffee acidity. Not a ton of coffee depth. Dry. Older coffee. Roast. A little milky. Lingering bitter roast.

Jun 14, 2008 Tap at the downtown location. Very dark black beer with no head at all. The aroma is loaded with rich earthy/fruity coffee aroma. Soft chewy roastiness on the aroma as well. There is a nice light perfumy herbal aroma on the back as well that lends a certain delicate character to the aroma. The flavour is pretty decent as well. Lots of herbal coffee over a slightly peppery (but not hot) base beer. Herbal and roasty without much of the usual cocoa at all. This is a very nice coffee stout.
