| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jul 9, 2009 Pours out black with tan head. Taste is brewed coffee. Some dark fruits and chocolate, but mostly roasted coffee. Some booze and bitter hops are also present. Thick and rich, but smooth. Great brew. satan165 (558), River Grove, Illinois, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Jul 9, 2009 aroma is french pressed java and a touch of the occassional ester, grape in particular. pour is nearly dead flat. flavor is acidic burn of coffee grounds and little else, emphasized by the stagnant body. this bottle might have been defective but this is far from a failure even when crippled by a lack of carb. alcohol comes in time and keeps the mouthfeel silky while providing a fire for my tummy. great beer -- but still cant top breakfast stout. italarican (163), Astoria, New York, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jul 9, 2009 Pours a dark brown with slightly airy beige head. Intense aroma of coffee and a bit something sweet... maybe coconut? The coffee flavor is b-i-g. Slightly sweet with a warm finish. A "full" mouthfeel while not truly thick. Intense and straightforward. arminjewell (102), Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jul 9, 2009 Excellent stout, poured black with a thick lacy brown head. Smelled of excellent coffee/espresso with some sweet chocolate/sugar backing it up. Tasted of strong and excellent coffee beans, alcohol is present but adds more than detracts. Very thick and full of flavor, an excellent coffee stout! AndreasJaeger (101), Helsingborg, Sweden

Awesome, thick banana nut bread head. Lacing starts nicely. Huge espresso-roast body. This looks awesome.
Vibrant coffee notes with huge malt and grassy hops - a little BBQ char and some residual sweetness of cinnamon sugar.
Very well-blended roasted malt with strong coffee component. Alcohol is present but lifts overall flavor profile nicely. Very strong bitter coffee with grassy hops - similar to nose. Nice stuff.
Velvety, coaty, warming stuff. Coffee strong on finish. Excellent.
Nicely drinkable for style - still a sipper.

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 7, 2009 Bottle. Poured black with a decent sized bubbly brown head. Nose is burnt malt with a huge coffee presence, what a great aroma. Full bodied with good carbonation and a smooth creamy mouthfeel. Flavor is very burnt/roasted with strong coffee notes and hints of bitter chocolate and vanilla. Finishes dry with mild hops bitterness. Very drinkable.
