Tap at 1515 release. All-black, with a ring of tan head. Slightly viscous. Big day-old black coffee on the nose, just a touch of piney hop. Smooth mouthfeel, coffee and more coffee. This is great. Where do you get bottles?!

Deep brown/close to black with a small, thin, off-white head. Aroma is of ground coffee, roasted malts, and some slight chocolate sweetness. Flavor is much like the aroma but more subtle. Smooth mouth-feel with a bitter coffee finish.

Sampled at GABF 2012 with Andrew and Moreau. Pours a deep blackish brown body with thin brown head. Aroma is super rich, black espresso, strong roast and a hint of sweet vanilla. Mouthfeel is creamy and thick with notes of black coffee, rich roast, light sweet malts, rich vanilla and sugar. Nice!

Had this at the 2012 Great American Beer Fest in Denver, Colorado. Basically drinking a cup of black coffee, not much else.

Bottle:   Pours black, large foamy light brown head, nice lacing.   Big strong sweet coffee aroma.   No mistaking this one.   Nice semi-sweet, slightly hoppy, coffee and roasted malt flavor.   This one is really smooth and easy to drink.   Not too heavy, but it coats and sticks to the tongue rather nicely.   A little bitter hops and bakers chocolate on the backside.   This one I have had for a while and it really held up well. &Nbsp I am guessing maybe it smoothed out over the year or two I had it.

12 ounce bottle pours a very dark brown color with aromas of fresh brewed coffee. Flavors are all coffee, with some roasted malt on the back end. Light vanilla comes through towards the end, very subtle. A great beer to start the morning for college football.

Bottle shared by Chaney. Thanks Brandon! A: This coffee stout appears a very dark brown color, bordering on black.Atop the beer sits a nice looking beige head that hangs out for a while and leaves a bit of lacing on the glass. S: Whoa! Coffee. I sure do appreciate my coffee, so this is already shaping up to be my kind of beer. The coffee scents are really fresh and inviting. Very nice. T: A truly delicious beer. In addition to the gourmet coffee taste, notes of vanilla and roasted malt round out this beer quite nicely. It’s slightly sweet, but this is counter-balanced very well by the natural bitterness of coffee. M: Nice feel. I didn’t realize that this was over 8% abv. I found no astringency or undesirable bitterness that can accompany such a coffee bomb. D: I’d have this for breakfast. Very impressive. I would trade for this.

Has this at the blue dog. Appears deep dark brown with a smallish tan head but well maintained throughout. There is some lacing here and there. By tilting the glass this way and that I was able to rustle up some more foamy head and also to gage the attenuation which appears to be well carbonated. The aroma is as one might expect: rich malts highly roasted, bittersweet chocolates and black coffee. The coffee aroma is the most pronouned, but aroma is also well balanced. Taste is again what you might expect, highly roasted malts almost to the put of being burnt, rich bittersweet chocolate and coffee, rich black coffee. Hints of nuts and molasses too can be tasted. A thick bodied beer here with a hint of creaminess before turning slightly dry. Towards the end soft alcohol warming is present.

Post Borefts I Invasion of Fonefan and Charlottes room tasting! Dark brown beer. Light soft palate, rich coffee, not too bitter. A little chocolate in there. Finishes semi dry and with a little minerals. Very drinkable coffee stout.

Draft. Black pour with tan head. Roasted malt light coffee aroma tones. Flavor is fuller coffee, roasted, and light nutty tones.
