3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
12oz bottle: appearance is pitch black with quick fading light brown head, aroma of deep roasted malt and coffee, flavor is not to complex just roasted malt and coffee again. not to bad i hate coffee but this beer brings out some good qualities in it. Again this beer isnt to complex flavor might be better for a coffee drinker but not ad overall but at 4.4% ABV on a stout??? come on now!

A black pour with foamy tight tan head and lace. Aroma of light coffee was all I got. The flavor is more coffee and roasted malt. A very mild bitter make this a pretty decent beer. Mouthfeel was solid and carbonation was good. This was a pretty nice beer.

12oz bottle. Pours black with a minimal tan head. Aroma of coffee, malt, some hop and chocolate. Creamy vanilla flavor with a good amount of coffee. Could be a bit stronger on the finish, but good stuff overall.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. Pours a rich dark black with very little of the deep tan head showing up. Slight alcohol smells are hidden behind a rich roasted smell with coffee and malt notes. Body is thin to medium. Flavors are subdued, as is the finish which is faintly smoky. I am not getting a whole lot of stout, more coffee mostly.

12ozer. Dark brown, aroma of roasted malts, coffee. Taste is mostly malty, fairly creamy, very sweet. Coffee mostly apparent in the aftertaste. Very sweet even for the style.
3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours very dark burnt orange tinted brown with a thin manila head that fades almost instantly, for some reason several of the beers from this Lakefront 8 bottle mix pack behaved that way when poured. Aroma is big on roast malt and cold coffee, with a decent amount of cocoa, and an almost tannic bite. Flavor is coffee, cocoa, caramel, a decent nutty sweetness, and some sorghum sweetness. Body is thin and really astringent for the style. Dunno maybe its the coffee or something but it seems like it needs a little extra heft to the mouthfeel.
3.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Where is the head. Very flat pour. Inky black in color. Nice aroma of chocolate and coffee. Nice caramel balance and very subtle hops. Slight root beer flavor, mild vanilla.
2.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Bottle from Hi-Time in Costa Mesa, CA. I just didnt get this one. It tasted of carbonated cofeee. Aroma and appearance were acceptable, but upon first sip the coffee flavor was over the top. It was very uncontrolled on the palate. Drain pour.
