2.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Bottle. Pours a dark brown with a bit of a tan head. Aromas are dark malt and coffee. Has the flavor of overly sugared coffee... way to sweet for my palate. yuck!!!
3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Thick, brown head. Nice deep aroma. Rich, sweet coffee flavor; of course. Very good.
2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Saw this one around a lot lately and picked up a bottle. For a stout, even a sweet stout, this is still too thin for me. Pours a watery black with a bone head not too thick. Doesn’t lace especially well. Aroma is burnt coffee and chocolate. Taste is also thin, sweet and too sugary. No depth here. Needs more roastiness.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Pours jet black with a hint of ruby highlights at the edges of the glass and a small but lasting tan head that leaves some lacing. Huge aroma of coffee and roasted malt. Taste is the same as aroma. Medium mouthfeel with a medium amount of bitterness and roasty finish. Very good.
3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Totally dark appearance with a small, mocha colored head that faded to zero. Roasted malt aroma with coffee (go figure) dominating. The roasted malts deliver some sweetness, with a trace of dried fruit, to the flavor, balanced with a modest amount of hops. The medium-bodied mouthfeel lead to a long lasting, slightly cloying, finish.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours a opaque black colour with a small fizzy tan head. Nose of roasted coffee, mollasses, dark malts, hints of dark fruits, hopps, and metallic. Initial taste of dark fruits moving into a roasted coffee beans that really represent the backbone. Finishing with a lingering roasted coffee and light hops & dark chocolate on the palate. Decent duration & warming palate, slight head retention. Medium to full body.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
12 oz. bottle coutesy of Acknud. Pours almost dead black, the color of black coffee. Coincedence, I think not. Nose is strongly of coffee. Taste is as you would expect from reading the commercial description, COFFEE. There are some roasted malts in the background. There is none of the usual caramel, toffee, & chocalate flavors usually found in stouts. Good creamy mouthfeel.
