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.

From a 22oz bomber. Pours a dark brown/black with a small tan head. strong aromas of coffee beans and roasty malts. Coffee, sweet amlts, roasty malts, hops and alittle touch of smokeyness come together to form a really good stout. Alcohol is well hidden. Smooth, thick mouthfeel.

Amazing coffee stout. When poured, it comes out a nice dark black with an amazing brown tan head that really reveals the coffee aroma into the air. It is very enjoyable an a good night capping beer.

Bottle poured into my tulip glass produced a small coco colored head that turned into a ring of lace around the glass on top of the black coffee colored body Aromas of coffee and roasted malts some sweetness of fruit to the aroma as well Flavors of coffee of course as well as sweetness from the malts and a good hop presence A good full mouthfeel with enough carbonation to keep it interesting I’m having this one for brunch so it is going down great I think the bomber will do it for me but I will grab another bottle for another brunch sometime

Aroma is espresso roast, touch of alcohol. Flavor is also espresso roast, alcohol, salty bitterness. Flat and bland, a serious lack of character.

Hoppier and drier than expected. The coffee melded well with the bitter and flavor hops more than I figured it could. The alcohol is very well hidden. Good late winter sipper for sure.

Poured black with a fluffy tan head. Strong aroma of coffee. Lots of coffee in this one. Kind of over powers everything else for me. I would take the Oat and Choklat from ST over this one.

Blackish in color with a medium tan head. Aroma has lots of coffee, some dark chocolate with sugar, cream and a hint of alcohol. Taste is a magnificent sweet blend of dark coffees, sugar, heavy cream, dark chocolate, a smoky/roasty thing going on with a full body to it - thick like Ten Fidy or Expedition. Damn good, Kind of like a Speedway - not as good - but well worth it!! Coffee lovers will not be disappointed.

22 oz. brown bomber bottle. No freshness date seen. Poured out a dark, inky chocolate brown, with slight red highlights around the edges. Aromas are of roasted coffee beans, baking chocolate, some alcohol. Flavors are of bittersweet baking chocolate, strong espresso, pipe tobacco, alcohol. Thick mouthfeel, slick, oily, somewhat chewy. Alcohol is slightly subdued, but sneaks up on you in a hurry. Finishes slight dry, somewhat chalky & roasty, but delicious all the same. Best RIS I’ve had in a while.
