Nice hoppy flavor with caramel malt overtones. Beautiful lacing with a present, but thin dark tan head. Not quite a robust stout, but stands on its own as a beautiful brown ale.

A very nice experience. I liked the color, the aroma, the flavor, and the effects. I did not like the small short lived head.

22oz bottle. I’ve gotten one of these n each of my last 3 trades and that’s a good thing. Pours thick and black with a thin creamy brown head, some lace, some oily residue on the side of the glass. Smells like coffee, strong coffee, slightly sweet, with a bit of a coffee ground scent as well. Taste is big and dark. Lots of roasty malt, coffee and chocolate flavors. Slightly sweet up front, bitter on the finish. Thick, syrupy, oily mouthfeel. Nice carbonation to compliment the viscosity of this brew.

22 oz. bottle - thanks to after4ever for this treat; equally as brash and bold as the choklat in the aromas and flavors, but much more drinkable and enjoyable to me; jet black with thin tan head; aromas and flavors are all coffee and not for the weak at heart; smooth and nutty; just delicious

Tons of coffee in the aroma, a nice light-roasted coffee with some chocolate. Dark black in appearance with a bit of brown around the edges and a thin, brown head. Tons of coffee flavor, nice warming note of alcohol and chocolate in the finished. Well balanced, not to bitter but not to sweet. Medium body, slightly creamy mouthfeel.

Bottle says brewed winter 2008. Small tan head that mostly diminished, very little lacing, opaque, a little carbonation on the sides of the glass, and a dark brown hue. The aroma was coffee, chocolate, roasty, hops, and some alcohol. The taste was coffee, chocolate, roasty, hops, and a warmth of alcohol. Very smooth mouthfeel and medium-full bodied. A very quaffable beer, easy to drink, nicely done and hats off to the brewer for this beer. Very tasty, worthy of a try and I would definitely drink this again.

Thick black pour with a light tan head. Lots of coffee on the aroma of course, but really not overpowering. Hints of chocolate and raisins with a little bit of alcohol. Sweet creamy coffee flavor. Doesn’t overpower. Chocolaty and fruity. Good coffee stout, though a little under carbonated. Hides the alcohol really well!

Bottle shared by miketd: Finally get to try this one, thanks Mike. Pours a dark, chocolate brown with a tan frothy head. Complex aroma of vanilla, roasted coffee, and butterscotch. Flavor is slow-roasted coffee beans, vanilla, burnt sugars. Medium mouthfeel, sweet and warm coffee finish. Hid the alcohol better than the S.T. Oat, but still a punch in the palate!

Dark color. Smell of freshly brewed coffee, chocolate, toffee, caramel and hops. Taste of chocolate, malt, coffee, hops, brown sugar, caramel, toffee and alcohol. What a great brew!
