Newest batch - Pours a nice looking black color with a tan head. Aroma is roasty, creamy, chocolatey - and most of all packs a coffee wallop. Flavor is big and roasty with lots of tasty coffee, some cream, and a bit of chocolate. Full bodied with a nice finish - very good, but not one of the "top" Imperial stouts, nor coffee stouts in general IMHO. I’ll take a Founder’s Breakfast any day over this, though this is good (though not all that much value for the $)

Jul 26, 2008 Bottle. A black beer with a nice brown head. Aroma is coffee all the way with some roasted malts in the background. Flavour is cold espresso with chocolate, vanilla and caramel. Its fantastic. Very creamy cocoa like palate. I need more of this.

Jul 25, 2008 The aroma is coffee, a little toasted caramel.The head is light brown, creamy, mostly diminishing with good lacing. The color is black. The initial flavor is coffee, bitters - nice. Hits the back of the tongue with a nice long finish. The body is light to medium, the texture creamy, just a hint watery and the carbonation soft.

Jul 25, 2008 Taste 7/8 bottle(date on bottle not marked) Looks: Dark opaque brown with a thin yeasty clinging head. Aroma: Roast, mocha, freshly ground coffee. Taste: Full flavored coffee with acidity. Mild hops spice, felt along with the alcohol. Very smooth. Really nice, no unneeded flavors. Great for coffee fans.

Jul 21, 2008 Bottle. Pours near black with a tan head. Coffee/espresso aroma, with dark chocolate and floral hop notes. Medium/full body. Flavor is roasted malt and coffee beans, with a light smoky note. Also has fruit and dark chocolate. Finished with a lingering bitterness from both floral hops and roasted malt. Very nice.

Jul 21, 2008 Very black colored with a huge tan colored head. Smell is fresh ground coffee, dark fruits, chocalate, and roastiness. Tastes a lot like the smell. Good beer.
