smith4498 (829), 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. Beerman6686 (1266), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Jan 15, 2009 This pours a dark brown color with a small light brown head. Aroma is of sweet caramel and i guess coffee. Flavor is really bland, sweet malts, some caramel and maybe hints of chocolate not much coffee at all. Butters (1623), Virginia, USA Jan 15, 2009 12oz bottle pours dark brown and pretty fair brown head. Nose is light milk chocolate and faint coffee. Flavor is like a watery expresso. Medium thin body. Nothing great here, but a solid effort for coffee stout. Hawksfan17 (717), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Jan 14, 2009 This black mocha topped pour sort of smelled like coffee but was mainly sour and off. It tasted like a lightly roasted batch of beans and was watery and decently smooth. It wasn’t that good but I might have had a bad batch. hopson (591), Williamsville, New York, USA Jan 13, 2009 bottle- not bad- a nice upfront bitterness- strong coffee flavor that comes off fairly smoothly and finishes in much the same way- flavor rather intense, with a slight twang at the very end- would go to again. HonkeyBra (1279), Lemont, Illinois, USA Jan 11, 2009 Crushed with CaryTheDude. Black pour, a bit of a tan head. Slight aroma of coffee. Sour, coffee flavor. Pretty horrible, though kind of drinkable. CaryTheDude (1113), Longmont, Colorado, USA Jan 11, 2009 Crushed with Honkeybra. Very very smooth. Still kinda sucks. Definitely a good sweet stout,, but nothing amazing. emacgee (1859), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA Jan 10, 2009 Thanks TheCheeseMan for the extra! Pours a dark black that allows hints of light, sits ink with a one finger frothy light tan head. The nose is smooth chocolate, upfront pungent coffee, mocha?, roasty, definitely earthy malts coming through. The flavor is a tad metallic, some soy, balancing coffee flavor with some bakers chocolate. Bitter coffee and grain. Tasty.
