Malty toasted coffee aroma I Iiked. The head was very flat, dark brown coloring was ok.Light sweet coffee taste somewhat syrupy texture. Just a barely ok bottled stout.

Opaque black color, with a decent tan head, that doesn't last too long. Sweetish, malty aroma, have to struggle to pick up any coffee notes. A fairly thin mouthfeel, with the roasts of the coffee and the malts playing on the tongue. Just too watery and not bold at all. I can only catch a bit of coffee in the aftertaste, unfortunately. I'm a strong, as-dark-as-you-can-drink-it coffee head, so I'd like a bit more. The taste in my mouth after sipping is better than during the sipping, so I'm pretty disappointed.

I really like this. Not as heavy as I expected for a stout, the coffee flavour is held in check by a slight sweetness - vanilla? - that almost makes this taste like a cola when cold. But still identifiably a stout.

Rich, deep dark color with a slight tan head. Th aroma is that of a faint weak coffee. The taste is lackking but you can pick up the coffee and slight mocha flavor. The linger is weak and I think that this is the weakest coffee stout I have tasted....good thing this is last for night and I don’t care!!!

Bottled. Subtle roasted coffee aroma. Light bodied, easy to drink. Good roast flavor. It’s solid enough to drink again, but no rush.

UPDATED: OCT 7, 2009 ~ Purchased this 12 oz bottle from New Beer Distributors in Manhattan, NY. Pours black with a healthy tan head that diminishes quickly. The aroma I get out of this is chocolate, followed by hints of coffee and roasted malts. Taste is slightly sourish, and I didn’t really pick out any of the coffee. For a stout, the body is a little on the thin side. Overall, this is an interesting beer (interesting in a weird sort of way). Thank God for the Mix-a-Six! ~

The strength of this beer’s aroma is that it’s not strong at all. Coffee notes can be detected, but they’re not overpowering. Pours almost jet black, with a tan head (I love it, reminds me of the oils on top of a nice espresso!). The flavor is not heavy it all, it’s moderately firm in your mouth, and overall a little muddled. The coffee flavor doesn’t come through right away, it’s a creeper. All in all though I think the not-so-intense coffee flavor makes this beer very drinkable. Not an instant winner, but definitely something I’d buy again.

UPDATED: JAN 24, 2007 The aroma of this beer was amazing and it has a very nice appearance. My problem was that it was not strong enough. It smells like caramel and coffee and tastes the same yet I was hoping it would be a little stronger.
