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.

holy of all mother, for a coffe lover like me this is fantastic, best of the evening, clearly knocked out three top 50 brews during the evening. 75 cL bottle, trade with ygtbsm94. Pours almost pitch black with dense chocolate brown head. Chocolate and coffee aroma, alcohol presence. Flavour is a lovely blend of coffee and a smooth chocolate, yet with a nice alcohol warmth. Very smooth and just keeps lingering. Fantastic, reminds me a lot of kaggen stormagtsporter! This is a top 50 brew in my book.

Pours a pitch black with a thin creamy tan head that leaves behind moderate lacing. Aroma is strong roasted coffee, vanilla, burnt sugar, chocolate, and dark malts. Flavour is spot on, big dark roast coffee flavours, bit of black licorice, lots of chocolate, caramel, a bit of sweet alcohol. The palate is creamy and warm from the alcohol, perfect mouthfeel. The best coffee stout ive had so far. top notch.

Bottle. Pours pitch black with a light tan frothy head that leaves some spotty lacing. Aroma of roasted coffee, chocolate, dark malts and a hint of vanilla. Flavor is creamy and smooth and very intense with rich roasted malts, coffee, chocolate, warming alcohol and a touch of molasses. Medium to full bodied with low carbonation and has a nice dry bitter finish. Awesome brew

Pours dark black with a creamy tan head. Coffee taste but I expected it to be stronger. Alcohol can be tasted but is hidden pretty well. Overall a good beer.

This is a solid imperial Stout. Pours a dark black with a thin tan head. Very good coffee and chocolate aroma. The beer is a little thick and sweet with some chocolate. Great coffee flavor. The 12% is incredibly hidden. Good stuff. Another good beer from Southern Tier.
