Nephilium (448), Ohio, USA May 14, 2008 Slightly sweet, roasted aroma. Pours black with a thin tan head. A touch of roast flavors with some underlying sourness, and a very thin mouthfeel. Disappointing for a coffee stout, especially one had on tap at the brewery.
lumberjack (147), Michigan, USA Nov 28, 2008 Dark brown with a little bit of an off-white head. Aroma is pure coffee beans. Taste is also coffee-dominated, not muchh in the in the way of complexity. Not a bad stout, but a bit boring overall. DuffMan (2139), Calgary, Alberta, Canada Oct 22, 2008 GABF 2008. Clear dark brown, strong brewer’s cereal aroma (not getting a stouty vibe here...). Sweet toasty bread-crust caramel flavour, but NO ROAST!! No real coffee essence either. Thin mouthfeel. WTF, did they pour me a sample from the wrong pitcher? This does not come across as a stout at all, let alone a coffee stout. Aggie80 (688), Michigan, USA Dec 2, 2007 Dark cola color, some head with a tan foam. Bitter coffee is dominant with just a touch of sweetness hidden inside. Very nice, wish they had it on tap all the time! Precept53 (113), West Bloomfield, Michigan, USA Jul 22, 2007 In my opinion their best beer, almost cola like appearence, with a small brown head, very nice roasted coffe and chocolate aromas and flavors, a very well made stout. My only complaint is that I would have liked it a bit colder.
