On tap at the Bottleworks brewpub. Black and mahogany with a dark tan head. Heavy coffee aroma. Coffee flavor is so strong, you need a cheesecake with this beer. Good body, head, and texture.

Bottle. Pours a very dark brown, almost black with a thin off white head. The aroma is like fresh roasted coffee beans. The flavor is very strong coffee, maybe a bit too strong. Very clean finish.

Bottle. Pours black with a small white head. Aroma is strong with fresh coffee. Flavor is medium with coffee beans but is balanced well. Finsh is smooth and mild. Decent coffee stout.

yep, it’s black like eric’s temper must be. a bit of grey head. a fresh coffee ground nose. oh yeah, good to the last drop. juan valdez would be proud. such a strong coffee flavor with currents of chocolate as in hershey’s. some vanilla sneaks out as does a nice finishing bitter. a damn fine beer.

Tasted 11/1 at the Tap Room. Dark, dark opaque hue with a tan cavernous head. I’ve often mentioned coffee notes, but damn! Coffee notes have turned into coffee rinds. Slight chocolate undertones. I have not coffee in five years, but it’s everything I remember it tasting like, only cold, and with malts and carbonation. Dark roasted malts, shadowed by the intense coffee flavor. It was delicious. Then I knocked over my glass and broke it! Sorry Kevin! I guess that it was that good, but it ended in an embarassing situation and a beer soaked tasting pad. I know you should not cry over spilled beer, but I wanted to.

05 Hop in the City/KC. Dark brown with a sticky tan head. Garnet hues. Has a pretty good coffee aroma. Not much else to go with it. There was a nice mix roast malts and coffe flavor. Pleasant bitterness. Silky. One of my faves of the day.

Hop in the City: Aroma: Coffee. Flavor: Coffee. Aftertaste: Coffee with a slight bitter bite. Other than that, there is a bit of sweet malt background, but it’s difficult to detect over the coffee. As Schlafly’s t-shirts say, Beer is not just for breakfast anymore. This is a coffee that you can have after dinner, too.

Sampled from bottle. Pours an opaque blackened-brown with a lasting tan head and intricate lacing. This stout’s aroma and flavor are dominated by fresh-ground coffee. Balanced, but finishes bitter. Medium-bodied, lightly carbonated. If you like coffee, it is a must try (I can’t drink coffee, so I just can’t appreciate this stout as much as it deserves to be liked).

tap-hop in the city 05-pours deep brown with a fizzy tan head. freshly roasted coffee mostly in the aroma. flavors are more of the same-huge coffee bean flavors with a touch of vanilla. as the previous raters say, this is very one dimensional, but in a good way. novel and fun.

Thanks to Beerhandy for this one. Deep brown, but not quite black. Thumb thick head. Huge sweet coffee aroma. Starts with very acidic coffe flavors then becomes sugary/creamy sweet and finishes bitter again. Very coffee dominated beer, but fun to drink even if one dimensional.
