Serve in English pint

Beer of the month club, pours opaque black to brown with a nice thick beige color head that leaves a beautiful lacing, aroma of roasted or maybe burnt coffee beans, carobs, malt and ash, flavor of Vienna roast coffee, milk chocolate and a touch of cherries acidity, slightly bitter, medium bodied, a decent stout

Bottle, smallish head, extremely dark brown and almost completly opaque with just a touch of lighter coloured taints, aroma of coffee and earth, flavour of coffee and earth withg a bready sourness. Drinkable but not too exciting.

Pours ebony black with a thick creamy two finger head mostly lasting. Aroma is malt, coffee and liquorice. Fairly creamy on the palate, the taste is of dark roasted malt, coffee and just a bit of hops for a hint of dryness at the finish. Not overly flavorful for all its dramatic color, but nonetheless a very robust stout that pairs well with a brat slathered with oninons and mustard.

12oz bottle from State Line. Coffee beer completist that I try to be, I grabbed this one off the shelf. Is the glaring spelling error in the commercial description an omen of failure? Emphatic yes. Flat cola pour, with a few bubbles showing up like they’re punching the clock. Very grainy base stout in the nose with faint tart notes and depressingly modest coffee too. Thin-ass body. Not much of a sweet stout, this beer, with no hops anymore, a dose of lacto perhaps, and precious few roasts. This is the beer for those sad bastards who think Dunkin Donuts has good coffee.

Pours dark brown with a very small tan head. Very little carbonation. Sweet, coffee flavor a little sour, burnt aftertaste. Drinkable, not bad, but not great.

Pours almost black, with thin tan head. Aroma is thin and malty. Taste is sweet and heavily of coffee and malt. Smooth and drinkable. Thumbs up, but barely so.

Bottle. Beer of the month club. Black-colored with a big bubbly beige head. Aroma of coffee beans, a bit vegetal, roasted grains, nutty notes and light fruity hints. Sweetish-sourish flavor, with roasted malt, lactic notes, fruits and some coffee. Finishes drier. Light to medium-bodied. I think this one’s a bit off - sourish and a bit unpleasant, but not all bad.

Not as much coffee in the aroma and flavor as I was expecting. It’s a rather basic stout that has a little bit of coffee flavor to it compared to other more straightforward stouts, but not enough to make it unique or great.
