strong scent of coffee and some chocolate tones as well. taste is of strong coffee and burnt roast. very earthy taste to this beer. I probably wouldn’t purchase this again.

Seems weak for a sweet stout and not very complex. Coffee and soy auce. Like a macro version of a stout or something.

Ok, I’m a huge coffee fan, and this beer really won me over. It sat in the bottle deep, deep black, pouting out with a resepectable head and the unmistakable aroma of a mocha coffee. The palate is caramel sugars, coffee, sweet malts, and semi-sweet chocolate. Definitely give this one a try.

The beer is very black, with an off-choclate head color. The beer looks decent.The head is not thick, but very bubbly. I am not a fan of the head, but that doesn’t mean a thing in regards to taste. Wow, what an awesome coffee and choclate aroma. I wish a few more scents could have been added i.e. wood, leather, smoke. This is just like smelling chocolate coffee; a very pleasing aroma indeed. Too thin to be a stout. Also, the 4.4% ABV is a little disrespectful to the style. This beer is heavily watered down, and the palate just misses the point. The coffee/chocolate flavor pattern sticks throughout the flavor. There is not much else to say for this beer other than coffee, and chocolate dominate. Not a horrible beer in the aroma and appearance, but once you taste the watered down part you will wish you purchased something a little thicker and more alcoholic. Decent brew, but there are so many better stouts out there than this.

This beer was rather weak, for a stout. It had a lighter feel to it than any other stout that I can remember. It had something of a grape flavoring which reminded me of a cheap wine. Very sweet tasting.

12oz. Bottle: Aroma of coffee, roasted malts, chocolate, and a little cream. Poured dark brown in color with a small brown head that disappeared quickly. Opaque. Flavor is light to medium sweet. Tastes of coffee, roasted malts, chocolate, cream, and a little vanilla. Medium body. Tingly, then dry texture. Average to lively carbonation. Roasted malt finish.

Bottle. Pours translucent blackish brown with a frothy and dissipating lacy tan head. Light aroma with some coffee and chocolate, but absent the smell of ’brewed coffee’ normally found in coffee stouts. Light body, full carbonation. Taste of soy sauce, coffee and and just a dash of gasoline. Seriously, WTF?

A Sim rate (bottle from American Beer Distributors, Brooklyn, NY): Aroma gets a high score because it smells like coffee and I love coffee! It’s got a good mix of coffee and alcohol that makes me want to keep sniffing. Looks understandably opaque black but no head or lace. Slight letdown. Flavour is very roasty. Coffee and burnt toast. Ends quickly and not quite rich or deep enough. Palate is a complete letdown. Nothing stout about it. This could just as easily be water. Overall, I quite like it though. But then again, I am a java head!
