GABF. Nearly black. Aroma? Starbucks! Mocha heaven! Rich and full for such a low ABV and tons of awesome coffee! Really a nice brew.

Poured a deep brown color with some ruby high lights. Came to me with little in way of foamy head and I watched it being poured. There was a strong foam collar through out leaving spotting lacing.
Aroma was of rich roasted malts and coffee.
Taste is rich espresso roasted malts, similar to the aroma. I can also pick up some smoke or charcoal and peat.
Mouthfeel was on the thicker side of medium in feel. Has a bitter finish from the coffee no doubt.
A good beer I thought that is well balanced between the coffee and malts. Each compliment the other.

At first, the aroma seemed to give me that day old coffee pot smell. Then After tasting, a whole other experience! Big malt flavors dominant, with a fantastic hoppiness- a damn hoppy stout that holds up to the coffee flavors. Coffee and chocolate flavors linger, and stay for a while in aftertaste, very pleasant. Overall, best effort for this beer, as I’ve never really like this beer, as IT was more coffee than beer, but not good coffee. Worth seeking out.

Black color with no head. Aroma of coffee and not much else. Black coffee flavor with some roasted malts and a touch of hops. Not much else happening here.

Black pour light beige head light brown tint to it ... roasted coffee aroma nice and fresh .... taste of coffee and roasted malts with a dry bitter roasted coffee finish ... a little thin on the mouthfeel which made it very drinkable not overbearing or acidic at all .....

Draught at TJ’s: Aroma of espresso, cream, and roasted malt. Poured extremely dark brown/black in color with a small, beige/tan head that diminished but lasted throughout. Clear. Sparkling. Flavor is lightly sweet and lightly bitter. Tastes of roasted malt, espresso, cream, slight fruit, light orange, and a hint of smoke. Medium body. Thin texture. Soft to average carbonation. Espresso and roasted malt finish is lightly sticky. On the thin side.

11th October 2008. GABF. An unapologetically coffee beer. Full of roasty coffee flavours. Just a few too many harsh edges.
