Flavor is sweet malt forward with some supporting hops and dark fruit esters; semi-sweet finish. Medium body and carbonation with low warmth.

I am becoming more and more a fan of stouts infused with coffee. This one is mild on coffee but still good. Try Hardywood Park Mocha it is better ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Pours jet black with a thick mocha that sticks around and sports some nice lacing. Aroma of milk chocolate and coffee, smells wonderful. Taste follows the nose but without the pop. Muted coffee and chocolate, I mean it’s tasty just not wow. Mouthfeel Is a bit thin. Good, regular drinking stout.

A - Pours a dark black with a hint of brown mixed in and a thin finger of frothy chocolate colored head. The head fades down fairly quickly leaving behind some lacing. S - Aroma is a mix of roasted and burnt dark chocolate with some roasted coffee beans, chicory, black licorice, a touch of lactose sweetness, and a hint of dark fruit. T - Starts off with some roasted bakers chocolate with some coffee beans and a bit of black licorice. Through the middle, a bit of sweetness comes through with some chicory and some milk chocolate. The finish is a mix of sweet chocolate malts, coffee, a touch of dark fruit, and some chicory. M - Medium-plus bodied with moderate carbonation. Feels smooth with a dry, roasted, and lightly sweet finish. D - Very drinkable. The coffee and chicory flavors add some nice complexity to the stout and the overall beer is nicely balanced.

Pours black frizzy with low thick brown head. Aromas of barley malts, roasted malts and coffee Quite round and nice mouthfeel, a bit to watery, coffee beans mos def there. Hints of vanilla and dark fruits as well. Its a bit to frizzy. Given the liw abv its still a quite good stout.

This beer has a deep brown color with a creamy brown color head. It smells slightly chocolatly. The taste is medium bodied and a rich chocolate and coffee taste. I think they useed a good amount of cocolate and roasted malts in this beer. The coffee takes over the aftertaste to wrap up this delightful beer. One of the best stouts ive had. I smelled nor tasted any hops but im sure they are they are there...i guess more tasting is required!

Bottle from Toast in Augusta. Pours brownish black with slight reddish tints and a tan head with constant small bubbles, through half the term of the glass. Aroma has milk chocolate, roasted malt, some dark fruit and oatmeal. Quite nice! Taste brings chocolate nibs, coffee beans, some oatmeal. Sweet and super smooth. Finishes medium length with a sweet leche fruitiness. Possibly a bit thin. One of the better DFH offerings that I have had.

Bottle; This one is cola brown with a fine bubbled khaki head that does retain fairly well in this glass. Some nice lacing is present here as well ; The nose is crystal and roast, with a hint of herbal. The flavor profile has more roastiness present, with a general sweetness from the crystal malts. The coffee beans come through and there is a hint of cream present as well. This one has an average mouthfeel, and a bit of grain Overall, I enjoyed this one fairly well

In the glass it has a dark brown color with a small head. Aroma has some coffee and roasted fruits. There is also some licorice. Taste has some roasted plums and a mild coffee taste. The uniqueness on the finish i imagine comes from the chicory. Very unique.
