5 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 20/20
Comes out of the tap a deep, opaque sable barely a kitten whisker above solid black with a fine-bubbled tan head. Rich, smoky aroma has strong chocolate and quality coffee tones and screams DRINK ME!!! to anybody who appreciates good stouts. Flavor is strongly like high-quality roast coffee with tones of unsweet chocolate, caramel and burnt wood plus a hint of molasses. Full-bodied texture has a strong, persistent tingle and leaves a smoky mocha finish. A must!!!

Pours slow and fills the immediate area with immense coffee like aroma. It has changed a bit each year since being created. For the most part, it has been the coffee beans used that has changed. I have enjoyed them all each and ever year. One of the finest coffee stouts I have had. Strong coffee tones unlike other coffee stouts that have more of a hint. Worth buying.

Bottle. Pours black with a small tan head. Aroma of fresh coffee beans, peanut butter, burnt roasted malt. Flavor of roasted coffee beans, roasted and burnt malts, a touch of peanut butter and bitter chocolate, vanilla, mocha, light cream. Awesome coffee stout, this is what a coffee stout should be! Probably the best coffee stout I’ve ever had. (I am now seriously regretting only buying 1 bottle of this)

This was a simply outstanding beer. Good amount of coffee in the aroma and flavor. Almost felt like I was actually drinking coffee at one point. Also got a little bit of chocolate and vanilla in there on the back end. A great beer!!

Draught at Pisgah Brewing Co. The only thing I might criticize about this delicious beverage is that it tastes more like coffee than beer! At that, it tastes better than any coffee I’ve ever had, but then again I’m no coffee connoisseur. I hope they start distributing this to stores in growlers.

Let me first say that I love coffee. If you love coffee then you will love this beer. If you don’t love coffee, then avoid this beer and leave it for coffee lovers like me. Pitch black in color. Smells like fresh coffee beans. Flavor is wonderfully one demensional...COFFEE. In fact this taste better than most coffees I’ve had. Smooth on the palate. Maybe a touch to thin. Pisgah continues to amaze me.

UPDATED: MAR 1, 2008 From a growler purchased at Bruisin Ales. Black, with a dense, dark tan - almost brown, really - head. Aroma is... Wow. Coffee. and not coffee grounds, or ground coffee, or instant coffee. It smells like fresh brewed coffee. Really amazing. I like coffee stouts, and to my memory this is the best smelling coffee stout I’ve had. I’d love to do a side by side with Speedway or Peche Mortel. Flavor is equally impressive - Mostly coffee, with a bit of dark cocoa and just a hint of vanilla. There is not a lot of components involved, just a few simple flavors in a rich, smooth, exceedingly well made beer. A definate home run.
