Bomber! This one missed. Didn’t have a good overall taste to it. Dark brown stout color, pretty light colored head. Aroma of molasses and coffee. Taste is off, somewhat like stale coffee, ransid roasted malts and molasses. Finish is dry and harsh. Didn’t notice the caffine. Pass on this bomber!

Dark brown, very coffee, rich roasted flavor, malty, little chocolate, little darkfruits, very dry.

Placid black with a thin white halo, this stout smell of aromatic and raisin sweetened coffee, rather than acrid espresso. Taste is much as it smells, with a light tartness in the finish that exceeds the depth of its roastiness. PLeasant and relatively mild $5/22oz

Getting notebook online. Bottle. Beautiful stout color with a thick creamy head. Not much to the nose, would expect the coffee to come through. Very malty flavors, overly dry. Disappointing , too dry, I didn’t pick up any coffee flavors. Perhaps I’ll give it a try again down the road.

Dark brown. Rich aroma is chocolatey, lightly coffeeish. Very coffeeish taste. Thick, rich malt, slight alcohol. Sort of stings with harshly-extracted espresso.

A dark clear brown stout with a thick moka head. A pleasant moka vanillla aroma with coffee grind and ash. In mouth, a sweetish nutty stout, with light coffee, a bit powdery, good hops bitterness with light grapefruit. Medium bodied. Bottle is about one year old.

Deep dark brown. Almost opaque. Reddish tint like black coffee with thick coffee-colored head. Bourbon in the clean stout aroma. Silky mouthfeel. Mild, fairly thin. Some sweetness, rendering this a fairly accurate rendition of a mediocre cappuccino.

Bottle from late 2006. Black with a tight tan head. Roasted malt aroma with cafe’ mocha. medium body. Rich hearty flavors of blackened malts with coffee cream and cocoa. Very good stout here.
