Nearly black in color with a brown head. Aroma? Coffee. All coffee. Maybe a hint of dark bitter chocolate. Flavor is coffee and coffee and more coffee. This beer actually tastes like coffee with a hint of chocolate creamer. Wow, intense.

Dark brown pour with a tan head. Roasted malt, tons of coffee, and a nice earthiness. Some nice toffee and molasses sweetness, chocolate, and maybe a bit of lactose. The flavor is nice and rich with tons of coffee, chocolate, and toffee. Molasses, some earthy notes, lots of roast, and a slight creaminess. Good mouthfeel, too.

Draft. Murky dark brown pour, short lived light tan head. Not that pretty. Lots of coffee, bitter espresso bean, burnt toast, note of chocolate, and moderately sweet. Medium - heavy mouthfeel. I wonder how much caffeine is in this. Enjoyable if you like coffee stout.

Served on draft at Stone’s 16th Anniversary Celebration. The appearance is a deep brown with a nice brown head with some bubbles. This guy is pure medium to dark bodied coffee. Really pure wonderful coffee profile. Some sweet cream and light cocoa powder notes as well. Medium full mouth with a touch of chalkiness. I really enjoy this one. Will have to try some more from Latitude 33.
