On tap at pizza plant. Pours a dark dark reddish brown with a thin light brown head. Smells heavy on brown sugar and coffee. Tastes pretty sweet up front from the caramelized brown sugar. Some nuttiness. Coffee bitterness backs it up and is followed by some malt and slight smokiness. Carbonation is medium high for a stout, and the body isn’t too heavy.

Wow, there is a smokiness to this stout that is subtle but very effective. 97

Bottle. 99% opaque dark brown, tan head. Aroma of roasted coffee, with earthy and metallic notes. Taste is roasty and earthy with a super dry finish. Mouthfeel starts smooth but ends quite thin. Fine, but maybe my least favourite Dogfish Head I’ve had to date.

Opaque black brew with a thick, foamy, cappuccino-colored head, she’s downright pretty with a sassy attitude and a quirky smile! She smells like she just walked out of a bakery with hints of yeast, dough, coffee, and chocolate. When you put her to your lips, she kisses sweetly, but the hop in her step keeps her sweet lips from lingering too long. She’s a full-figured gal and the creamy luxury of her touch will make you feel like a man. I’ll visit her again.

Coffee, cocoa, and earthy, oak tree bark aromas. Dark brown with a lasting, beige head. Dry and earthy. Medium body, low carbonation, and with a woody, oaky, roasty finish.

12oz bottle. Pours a deep dark brownish black with very thin chocolatey head. Aroma is chocolate, roasted malts, and a hint of coffee. Tastes of roasted chicory and barley, chocolate, and coffee.

36cl, American brew, with chicory and coffee, from De Bierkoning Amsterdam, complex dry Stout, roasted/malty and slightly spicy/sweet, balanced, hazy, good head, good Winter brew

Appearance: Pretty much pitch black with tiny bits of a ruby red on the edges of the glass. Basically no head, no lacing. Smell: Eh... hardly average. Very faint malt aroma ... something floral as well. Chicory, maybe? Taste: After seeing how flat it looked and how I didn’t care for the smell, I didn’t think it would taste too great ... but it surprised me. Super nice and deep roasted malt flavor, but there seems to even be coffee and a good bit of tobacco or something in there, too. I get some very slight traces of alcohol in the taste as well, but there’s no warmth. The feel of this beer is medium ... probably my favorite part about it overall, because it isn’t overly sweet, and it doesn’t make me wish I could take a few swigs of water to wash out the syrupy texture I get from a lot of stouts. Overall, solid. At $2.39 a bottle, it’s pretty reasonably priced. I can get why this isn’t a super high rated stout (probably because of the lack of sweetness and syrupy texture?), but for the style, I give this one a 4 for taste. My taste buds like it, and I’m not generally a stout kind of guy.

Looks like most coffee stouts, black with a decent beige head. Strong coffee is the main scent, which carries over to the flavor. Flavor is also spicy, a little salty, with some plum and raisin sweetness leading into a long finish. Mouthfeel starts heavy as expected, but the carbonation cuts through it at the end. Very similar to a typical coffee stout, but with a spicy fruitiness not usually found.

Pours a solid black wot a thin tan head and some lacing. It has an aroma of dark malt, toast, and coffee, and the flavor is dark malt and chicory coffee up front with toasty finish and smooth texture. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
