VitaminR (421), Colorado, USA Feb 28, 2009 Freshly ground coffee beans with grass and lemon peel puree. Simply black, deep tan frothy sea foam head. Tart chocolate with tannic iced coffee bitterness. Medium to full body, big carbonation, burned coffee and dust finish. Seemed to lack some focus, not bad, just better coffee-style Stouts out there. GeneralGao (3051), Iowa City, Iowa, USA Feb 27, 2009 Bottle. Poured a nearly opaque dark borwn color with only a bit of ruddy light shining through. The head was thin and brown, but lasted a decent while. Nice enough aroma including the likes of coffee, milk chocolate, and toffee. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. There was a bit of acidity up front, but some delicate sugars emerged toward the end. Coffee, caramel, cherry, and roast nut elements graced the flavor. Pretty tasty. lithy (1600), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA Feb 23, 2009 Bottle thanks to loubrew at BA. Dark brown nearly black with a thin light tan cover. Aroma of green coffee, roasty malt. Taste is bigger roastiness, coffee grounds linger. GMUcrew7 (353), Mason, Ohio, USA Feb 21, 2009 Pours jet black with a small dark tan head that dissipates quickly. Roasted coffee aroma as expected. Similar flavor, some coffee, a little watery. The body is a little too light. If they upped the ante on the flavor and body it would be pretty good, as it stands it is rather forgettable (contrary to their description). BeerHawk (1175), Huntsville, Alabama, USA Feb 19, 2009 Bottled date Sep Week 4. Poured black with a thin tan head. Aromas of coffee (as expected), light roast, and vegetable funk. The flavor had coffee, chocolate, and roast. Medium body, smooth, and a coffee aftertaste. shadey (1496), Rochester, New York, USA Feb 18, 2009 12oz bottle from BOTW. Pours a dark dark brown with no head. Strong coffee aroma. Flavors are more stout like without anything dominating. Coffee appears in the finish only. Sonicdescent (374), Donora, Pennsylvania, USA Feb 15, 2009 The problem here is that the coffee dominates. That wouldn’t be a problem except the coffee tastes stale. Not great. mrant (330), New York, USA Feb 4, 2009 Smells sharply of dark chocolate and coffee malts. Taste is dark chocolate malts, a little watery. Not bad, could be better.
