bblack99 (197), Kansas City, Missouri, USA Nov 10, 2009 The nose is spot on, lots of that strong, potent black coffee and a little chocolate. Appearance is pretty average, a mostly opaque black with a thin, fading biege head. Lightweight and somewhat watery, this feels more like drinking drip-brewed coffee than a stout. Flavors are a bit too charred and acrid without the hoppy balance or a thick, malty backbone. bleeng (587), Spring near Beersel, Texas, USA Nov 5, 2009 Sampled at the Houston RB tasting. Nose of super coffee. Taste is predominately coffee and light burnt malts. Very light and thin body for the style. Not bad but not memorable. alagnak (301), Littleton, Colorado, USA Oct 31, 2009 A little dirty looking in the glass. Aroma is subdued, a little coffee, but mostly sweet chocolate malt. Flavor is similar. COffee - though in the name of the beer - doesn’t really show up until halfway through the glass. Mostly more of the sweet malt. Pretty thin body and highly carbonated. OK, but I didnt feel like another. MaltOMeal (642), Land of Sugar, Texas, USA Oct 27, 2009 bottle thanks to bleeng. Shared at the Houston RB Tasting in October. Pours black with a thin, tan head. Nose is of coffee grounds. Taste is of coffee. Mouthfeel is thin and dry. craftbeerdesign (731), Alpharetta, Georgia, USA Oct 22, 2009 bottle. pours a nice black ... but without much head... very thin tan head... pleasant roasted coffee aroma along with some chocolate and sweet malts. thin to medium body that seems to get more robust as time moves on... more sweetness over the mouth with some light coffee flavors. finishes well with a lingering bitterness supported by more sweetness and a touch of nuts. This one is underrated. ericandersnavy (1039), crossroads, Texas, USA Oct 22, 2009 bottle thanks to bleeng. poured dark brown with a beige head. aroma was spent coffee grounds. flavor was used coffee grounds and grains. puggy211 (576), cordova, Tennessee, USA Oct 19, 2009 A sub par sweet stout. Aroma was weak but could pick up hints of roasted malt. Pour was bad. Flat dark brown/black with no head. Taste was weak. Lightly carbonated mix of seltzer water and coffee with a bit of chocolate. Cavie (1318), Fort Worth, Texas, USA Oct 18, 2009 Bottle courtesy of bleeng. Hazy brownish color. Roasted coffee scent. Smells gorgeous like the end of a church sermon. Taste has bitter flavors with coffee that finishes decently. Not bad but lacks some finishing quality.
