jb (1024), Rochester, New York, USA Jan 25, 2009 Shared a bottle with Ron - thanks! Sharp aroma of coffee, full bodied palate, well balanced and velvety. Improves in fullness and balance as it warms. Very dark with brown and red highlights. SuIIy (1406), Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, USA Jan 25, 2009 12 oz bottle. pours an opaque black color with almost no head. a slight off white ring does appear. nose is coffee and dark malt and chocolate. palate is oily and smooth with a light bitterness in the finish. Flavors of coffee and dark malt with some hints of bittersweet chocolate. Nothing sweet about this brew. quite dry actually. I kinda like it though. Ron (1002), Rochester, New York, USA Jan 24, 2009 12oz bottle. A dark pour with a small beige head. Brew had a coffee aroma with some burnt toffee. More coffee in the flavor, a light hop bite was present as well. Nejhleader (924), Lemoyne, Pennsylvania, USA Jan 24, 2009 that the best coffee stout, has a nice coffee aroma, taste is a bit coffee groundish. Barrios (852), Nashville, Tennessee, USA Jan 24, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours a light tan head that laces. Body is dark brown. Aroma is of a roasted character with notes of coffee. It tastes roasted with notes of milk chocolate and barely coffee. Smooth mouthfeel. mcjay (301), Neenah, Wisconsin, USA Jan 22, 2009 Updated: Mar 26, 2009Pours black with a thin tan head. Aroma of roasted coffee. Taste is slightly sweet with hints of coffee and chocolate. Flavor is a little mild and not as malty as you might expect but is still rather smooth with a hint of bitterness. timsilvia32 (445), from Michigan now in Charlotte, North Carolina, USA Jan 18, 2009 Poured fairly dark brown, with a cream colored head. Strong coffee aroma, slight roast malt. Taste is mostly bitter coffee, maybe some mocha, finishes a bit bitter. Medium body with some carbonation that borders on too much. Not real stoutesque and nothing at all like a sweet stout. All around a bit too watery and timid. Wouldn’t even say it’s all that drinkable because of the bitterness. Just OK. smith4498 (825), Miami, Florida, USA Jan 17, 2009 Pours black with tan head. Aromas of burnt malts and coffee. There is much more coffee aroma than flavor. Roasted malt and chocolate flavors with not very coffee. Quite acidic. Medium body with mild carbonation. Unlike their commercial description, this beer is quite forgettable. Average at best.
