Pours dark brown with a tan head. Aroma has coffee, caramel, and roast. Taste is sweet and follows the aroma. Dry finish. Decent.

Thanks, Josh, for this unique brew! Aroma is smoke, ash, some dark fruit, coffee and roast. I liked the smokiness in this one. Body is black with a dark tan head - very dark. There was quite a bit going on in this one for taste. Dark fruit, cherry, some smoke, roast, chocolate, cocoa, ash, charcoal, and vanilla were about what I could discern. A very interesting and cool beer.

You could tell there was coffee in this beer - the brown head was a tell. The nose was definite roast and some chocolate in the mix that reminded me of Rasinettes. Hops aided the chalky cocoa taste, and towards the finish it balances out with a touch of cherries and mocha. A very interesting version of this style, and only thanks to OmegaX to I get to try such a beer.

Dark brown pour, beige head. Aroma of coffee, cocoa, some green pepper notes sneaking in. Flavor is coffee forward, roast, chocolate, light green pepper notes.

UPDATED: APR 29, 2012 One pint bomber from Imbibe Wine. Nose is thick with roasty coffee, chocolate, and toasted bread. Black with a medium, lightly lacing, cinnamon tan head. Flavor is coffee, bitterness, and chocolate. Finishes with roast and bitterness. Pretty good coffee stout.

UPDATED: APR 15, 2012 Served from a 22 oz bottle from Bine & Vine. Pours a deep black with a small tan head. Toasty malt, loads of oats, and some roasty smoke. Similar great flavors. Rich with roast, oatmeal , molasses, some coffee but not pronounced over all the malt. Lots of brown sugar builds as you go. Nice full, slightly creamy body. Very enjoyable brew.

Bottle. Smells of coffee and some light toffee. Pours nearly black, tan head. Taste is fairly heavy, plenty of coffee - long lasting palate.

(Draught) Pours an opaque black body with a small tan head. Aroma of coffee, roasted malt, and nuts. Flavor of roasted malt, coffee, licorice, some caramel, and soy.
