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.

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!

Bottle. Poured a dark black pour with a small white head. Lots of coffee on the nose. Taste is very intense coffee and some chocolate. Very smooth and enjoyable. Nice alcohol burn on the way down.

Pours deep blackish brown with a thin white head. Full of coffee flavors - some sesame notes but mostly coffee. Despite this it is a smooth operator. Creamy in texture yet slick in flavor.
