strong taste of coffee, with a slight taste of roasted chicory. It was too bitter for me.

UPDATED: APR 1, 2012 Very nice stout. Smooth as all hell; the coffee is there but not overbearing. Nice chicory taste in the background.

From Beerlicious iphone App: Mild coffee aroma with black clear appearance. Has a frothy brown head. Light sourness and bitterness present. Medium body with a creamy thick texture. Average carbonation and an interesting finish.

From notes. Poured a pretty dark brown to black with a not so bone white tan colored head. Head was gone in a hurry leaving very little lacing. In the aroma you definitely pick up some of the roasted coffee with a bit of chocolate and a tiny bit of hop at the end. Taste very much follows the aroma. Roasted coffee up front a nice malty body with notes of dark chocolate and a crisp mildly bitter finish. This guy has a pretty nice mouthfeel, nice zesty carbonation, with a pretty light body for a stout, finishes really smooth making it very drinkable.

Strong coffee and charred wood aromas. Appears black at first but under strong light it’s a fairly consistent deep garnet color topped by a light tan head. This is a light, dry stout and the charred grain and coffee come through in spades. If you’ve ever tasted black patent malt, you’ll recognize the flavor directly in this beer. The body is very thin and this enhances the coffee flavor. There’s a slight creaminess in the middle with some bittersweet chocolate. Ends with a sharp, husky bitterness that is reminiscent of bitters in a cocktail. This gets better with every sip!

Nice looking beer, though the head seemed a bit foamy. Didn’t overpower you, or have a whole lot of strong tastes. Very subtle. Not bad. But not dazzling.

this beer came highly recommended, but didn’t live up to the hype. pours dark brown with a moderate tight tan head. aromas of chocolate and burnt malt. it is rather bitter, with acrid burnt overtones, and finishes in the same way. with a lingering feel of burnt twigs.

Black body, tan head. Aroma has much chocolate, sugary coffee. Some sweet vainilla, almondy notes. Taste is very sweet wienermelange coffee. Some smoke in flavour too. Slick oily and bit metallic smoothes. Grilled, barbeque sauce aftertaste.

Opaque black with some orange hues around the edges when held to the light. Two finger tan head. Milk-flavored, moderately roasty, fizzy, dark brown beer. Tea-like herbal flavors are blanketed with simple sugar and waterlogged cocoa nuances. Bitter, vegetal, ropy tannins are moderate on the finish.

Pours dark brown with a tan head. Smells like roasted malts, coffee and a veggie garden. Chicory is quite present. Taste like dark coffee with half a sugar and herbs. Expected a lot more from this beer.
