0.5 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 1/20
Pours very dark with very little head. Aromais strong roasted malts and coffee. Flavor is same. Thisis a coffee-infused beer. I disagree with calling this beer and am kinda pissed that it was included in a sampler pack of beer.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Black-bodied, with a think chocolate head that quickly wears down. The aroma is restrained, but marked by a well-stated chocolate coffee character. Roasty body, with a dank beer underpinning and a bit of tannic vegetal. Not all that bad, just belies the color a bit. The roastyness does not translate so much to the flavor. Eh.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Pours a deep brown black with a fizzy dark tan head. Nose is dark malts, light sweet caramel and coffee. Faint cola as well. Clean and pleasant. On taste it’s old coffee, light tartness and roast cocoa. Light hopping and medium-light bodied. Not a bad beer but lacks the roast and coffee notes one expects.
2.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
Dark with a thin tan head. Roasty chocolate aroma. Coffee and roasted malt flavor with a hint of sourness. Meh.
3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. Pours a dark black with little to no head. Not much aroma. Some coffee notes but that’s about it. Roasted malt and coffee notes. Watered down a little bit. Actually, a lot. Sweet finish. But aside from that, nothing much to report.
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
UPDATED: NOV 28, 2011 Location: 12 oz bottle from Buy Rite, 11/27/11, Rating # 1986, the year of the Jenny
Aroma: The nose is all coffee and roasted malts, the sweetness develops with warmth
Appearance: It pours an opaque black color with a small brown head and basically no lace
Flavor: Tastes roasty, pretty much all coffee and roasted malts, the sweetness come through on the finish
Palate: It has an unimpressive body, thin and light for style, a lively carbonation and a rather short duration
Overall Impression:
This is a decent, but not great, coffee stout. There is a good amount of roast and coffee here, but there is little else here. The wateriness of the mouthfeel is probably the biggest disappointment here, but the beer still isn’t bad overall.
1.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 4/20
From a 12oz bottle. Wasn’t expecting much, nor does it deliver. Not a great example of this style. Thin body, with a fizzy head that quickly dissipates, no noticeable lacing.
The aroma reminds you of coffee, but, not a true coffee. Coffee is present in the taste, and that’s about it.

Taste is so so. Very coffee oriented. Thin with not much going for it other than the coffee.
