Objectively speaking:
Subtle coffee stout full of subtlety. Very tasty for its size. I miss England.
I like:
Tall frothy beige head. Very well-balanced! The espresso never display any of that beany vegetal character that is so common in coffee stout. The yeast undertones are stunning, complex, subtle. Lots of house character and in a filtered coffee beer at that! Very well extracted maltiness procures a solid, firm palate, excellent compromise between drinkability and engaging size. Clean finishing bitterness.
I dislike:
This is a type of beer I generally dislike, but this was a stunning example.

Oct 9, 2008 Bottle@Home. Strong espresso aroma. Black coloured, light brown head, good lace. Light sweet, bitter, strongly roasted, pure espresso indeed. Roasted dry mouthfeel, thinnish, oily. First I thought it was quite flavorful, but half way the bottle it started to taste like cold coffee more and more. This made it very one dimensional.
