American Stout. 5.2 % abv. Strong coffee color, brown, persistent head. Full body, roast-bitter character and aftertaste, some sharpness throughout, more due to carbonation than to acidity and this is what saves it from tasting flat. Low bitterness, sweetness deep down, good length. Dark roast grains, and high quality black coffee, not clearly chicory, creme brulée-custard undertone. Not my style. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle. Pours a nice deep brown with a medium tan head. Aroma of rich malt, coffee, and a touch of dark fruit. The flavor has similar notes, plus a touch of (what I assume to be) chicory, and a yeast/bready finish that isn’t great. Pretty good overall, though not something I’d be in a rush to seek out again.

Black pour, dense brown head, roasty and spicy aroma. Flavor is light roasted malt, noticeable touch of chicory and not much more. It’s too light and too simply for my tastes, and I’m not a fan of the chicory flavor. I also get little if any coffee flavor here.

Tasty, if a little boring. The chicory gives this a bit of a coffee flavor. Good solid stout, nothing interesting.

This pours a very dark brown color with a semi-roasted malt scent. There is a heavy roasted sweetness in the flavor mixed with hints of chicory and licorice. Overall this is a well-made beer with a complex blend of ingredients. It ends finishing with a little bit of a chalky after-taste.

Bottle. Pours black in color with big bubbly head that fades pretty quickly. Looks like coca-cola. Aroma is mostly coffee with some herbs and flowers too. Taste is the same pretty much but a little coca-cola taste comes in at the finish. Medium body, bubbly mouthfeel. Almost like a combo of beer, coffee, and soda. I like it.

Bottle. Aroma of coffee, chocolate, very roasty. Pours black, thin tan head. Mild sweet taste. Full body, thicker texture, finishes with coffee bean flavor and mild hop bitterness. Solid stout.

2013/01/15 - Pours a cold brown/nearly black with a creamy candy tan head that leaves a nice lacing. Aroma is coffee, roasted malts and burnt popcorn. Taste is coffee and toasted malts. Smooth, creamy carbonated mouthfeel and a bitter coffee aftertaste. Good, not great. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Not much aroma, but otherwise a nice variation on the stout with a smoky kick. It has a rather crisp mouthfeel and a decent lingering aftertaste. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle from Belmont Station with Carla. Pours dark brown with tan foam. Smells heavily of coffee with a hint of spice and maybe some chocolate. Tastes very mild, there’s not much body and the bulk of the middle-taste is water, with hints of roastiness, though it ends with coffee and a hint of coffe.
