Commercial Description:
Three thousand feet above sea level in the misty mountains of Jamaica, some of the worlds finest Arabica beans are hand picked on their way to becoming Blue Mountain Coffee. Halfway around the world, plump spring barley grows to maturity in the loamy soil of North America while aromatic hops are cutivated to exacting standards. Here in our kettles, these three special ingredients are blended to create a heady mixture of sweet sugar, dark roast, and complex flavor. Please enjoy this brew in moderation.

Pours a very nice opaque black with a big creamy deep tan head with great retention... aroma of bitter chocolate coffee roasty slightly milky some dark fruits subtlely... taste is hugely roasty with big bitter coffee flavor and a touch of lactose... full bodied, full mouthfeel, alcohol is well hidden but you can definitely feel it...

Bought a bottle it at the Empty Pint. A dark beer similiar to any coffee stout. Coffee amd dark chocolate aroma. Full bodied with medium coffee flavor. A good coffee stout but there are few that I’ve had that are better.

Bottle. Almost black and opague. Malt, cream and coffee in the relatively soft aroma. Full bodied, thick on the tongue. Malty sweetish, salty flavor with coffee and lciorice. Hints of smoke. Very tasty beer with a firm roastbitter aftertaste.

Pours black with a tan head. The nose is coffee and chocolate malt. Comes across the palate rich and malty; the coffee notes were muted. A rather oily mouthfeel. Finishes with a subtle coffee

No screwin’ aroung here! Poured with a big thick, lucious, creamy, foamy head, but not all that much lace. Aroma is coffee, dark ripe fruits, brandy, malt, and a bit roasty. Flavor’s about the same, but a lot more sweet. Coffee flavor’s a little like when it’s brewed to strong and gets an over done taste; although, this is certainly a very well done brew. Alcohol comes on a little at the very end. So big, not a session beer. Nice finish.

Taste 4/9 bottle. Looks: Black body with a tan top. Aroma: Fresh coffee, toasted malt, some wood and vanilla. Taste: Woody, a little chocolate and very acidic coffee in a thick body. The aroma was nice. The taste wasn’t. Unbalanced, sweet and very acidic.

22 ounce bottle from State Line. Brewed Winter 2008. Pours a thick viscous black color with a thin head. Decent retention and fair lacing. Aroma of bitter coffee, chocolate, nutty roasted malts, maple. Taste is rich chocolate, rich and slightly bitter coffe, rich roasted malts, maple and vanilla. It’s rich. Full bodied. Barely any alcohol noticeable.

Dark brown with a big tan head. Aroma is very light coffee and malt and metallic. Flavor is very sweet with a very heavy metallic taste. Probably just a bad bottle. Extremely annoying though as nothing from Southern Tier is inexpensive. Finish is very nice roasted coffee and very warming. Even getting past the metallic taste, I still don’t really care all that much for the flavor.
