2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Head is initially average sized, frothy, light brown, mostly
diminishing. Body is black (but not opaque). Aroma is moderately hoppy
(pine, grapefruit), moderately malty (roasted grain, mild coffee, dark
chocolate), with light notes of licorice and smoke. Flavor is moderately
sweet, moderately acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is moderately bitter,
moderately acidic. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation,
moderately astringent. Hoppy, sour, and astringent stouts just aren’t
my bag.

No head, but what do you expect from a bottled coffee stout?

big vanilla, Bell’s double creamish, medium bodied with a coffee finish
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
This is a light bodied, dry, slightly bitter stout. It’s nicely balanced. It’s better than average, but not great

UPDATED: MAY 30, 2003 This beer rocks!
If you like hearty stouts, it doesn't get much better than this. Don't let the 'chicory' fool you, this is not a rauchbier.

Huge head on this brew...lost about a quarter of it to the floor. At least my dog got to enjoy some. Nice rich aroma. Good roasted flavor with a hint of the chicory and coffee. An enjoyable stout.

Well, people have been putting chicory in coffee for ages, and coffee in stouts, so why not chicory and coffee both? Very dark body, with a tan head, a nice mouthfeel, not overbearing, coffee and chicory not too bold. With the low ABV, it’s quite drinkable in quantity, it its to your taste.
