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 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 .....

3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours very dark with a thick small dark tan head. The aroma has lots of coffee / expresso, dark bitter chocolate and some roasted malt. Medium smooth body with lightly biting, but overall gentle, carbonation. The flavor starts very heavy with the coffee that’s quite bitter, smooth chocolate and heavily roasted malt. The finish is bitter with coffee, roasted malts and hops. The style is not at all my favorite, but it is good for what it is.
