Bottle from Total Wine. Pours a ’jet’ black with a tan/brown head. Aroma of coffee and chocolate which is ’average at best’...taste is down right sad; coffee with stout sounds like a bad idea, and sure enough it is. Not a fan of this one, stay away.

Black with no head. Very little aroma. Soday. Tastes dark and black. Slight coffeeness. Thin. Drying lingers. Had a grapey aftertaste.

This beer has a rather dark color and no head at all. It has a burt wood smell to it. As you drink it there is coffee and a watery finish. It has a watery and burnt chocolate finish that is rather short.

Lakefront continues to confound me. I love their IPA as one of my favorites, and their bridge burner is fabulous, but the snake chaser and now this are pretty awful in my book. It had a nice aroma, but flavor-wise I could barely drink it. Hmmm....

Decent bitter black cup-of-coffee beginning that somehow turns into a glass of Icehouse. The flavor just dissipates into an ice cold Zephyrhills drink. Disappointing. $4 bottle at Zeke’s, Miami Beach.

black with dark brown edges. disappearing brown head. aroma funky stale coffee. flavor weak watery bittersweet. tasted like weak folgers. light body slightly fizzy dry bitter finish. i love coffee stouts but this was bad. it was weak and watery. had i not known there was coffee in the beer i would have just assumed that it was a bad stout. not worth your time.

Looks like Coca-Cola when poured. Black body, caramel frothy head. Flat. The flavor just does not come out. The formula needs tweaking.

Jet black color with a medium sized tan head. Faint aroma of chocolate and coffee. Very bitter flavor without much coffee taste. I may have got a bad bottle(I hope they didn’t intend it to taste that way). Headed to the sink now.

Pours a four finger dark brown head that fades instantly leaving no lace. Black color. No carbonation and heavy bodied. Roasted coffee/sour cherry nose. Roasted/burnt coffee, sour cherry syrupy flavor, no aftertaste. Not what I was expecting, Redhook had a much better coffee stout. $1.29 for a 12oz bottle from Blue Max Liquor Burnsville, Mn. Brewed in March and should be good now.

12oz bottle. (guessing this was a bad bottle) Poured with carbonation overload (could only get quarter of bottle in pint glass and it took 15 minutes to settle out) a deep coffee black with a dark tan head. Nice strong coffee aroma. All flavor was killed by the stinging over carbonation. Will re-review with hopefully a better sample.
