WOW. I got little out of this than a cup of espresso. Pours out black with a nice tan head. aroma was coffee as was the flavor.

Good dark brown/black pour. Aroma that is strong coffee and alot like a porter. Nice flavor of roasted malt, coffee, and a light malt bitter. Thin with good carbonation. A good semi sweet stout.

You cannot deny that this rich bitter stout is chock full of espresso flavor. Easily a substitute for a coffee with dessert, this brew has a thick round mouthfeel with some sweetness that gives way to a long bitter roasted finish. Rich and flavorful, it pours a deep black with a sticky brown head. Nice.
