Holy Moly coffee stout!! One of the more coffee-forward stouts I've had. Very nice roasty malt base, with oatmeal giving it just a twinge of sweetness. But the story here is java. Early, often, and a lot. Fresh too. Infuses every aspect of this brew. If you like coffee stouts, this is a Good One. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Damn good stout. Like breakfast stout but with a touch more coffee and less sweet chocolate.

Poured from a bottle. Dark brown with minimal dark tan head and lacing. Not surprisingly, coffee dominates the aroma as well as the taste, but the blending of beer and coffe in WNB is what makes it standout. A touch of sweetness (a little dark fruit shining through) offset with a nice bit of bitterness. Overall, smooth drinking "brew".

Bottle (12 oz) 2011 vintage. Thanks Tucker! Pitch black with a huge slowly diminishing brown head and good lacing. Aroma is dominated by coffee and roasted malt along with herbal notes, bitter chocolate and slight vanilla. Taste is moderately sweet (not cloying) with coffee, roasted malt,dark and bitter chocolate, herbal notes and slight vanilla. Slight bitter finish. Medium body. Warming alcohol. Slightly creamy and somewhat acidic. Good Imperial Stout. Not too complex. Drinkable.

Sampled at a ESBLS tasting in Wood River, IL. Pours a dark ruby tending toward black with a moderate sized tan head and sticky lacing. Nose of roasted malts and coffee. Medium in body with a smooth mouth feel. Flavor is coffee and roasted malts. This is a coffee stout with the emphasis on the coffee. Tasty.

Bottle shared at Bruce’s 30th Birthday Bash - CBC Clerkenwell, London. Thanks to El Pedro! Pours dark brown with a creamy, tan head. Big coffee aroma, like Dunkin’ Donuts, specifically. Light to medium sweet flavor with some dry roast and moderately bitter coffee. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Good bitter coffee finish with plenty of dark chocolate, baking cocoa. Awesome stuff.

On tap at Frisco Taphouse & Brewery in Columbia, MD. Opaque, brown-black with a thin brown head and very good lacing. Aroma of huge dark roasted coffee, roasted malt, chocolate, vanilla, nuts and molasses. Taste of dark roasted coffee, earthy bitter peat, dark roasted malt, chocolate, vanilla and molasses. Medium body and low/medium carbonation. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Chilled bottle poured into a snifter at JStax tasting. Pours black with small light brown head, medium body, medium carbonation, and sweet coffee aroma. Taste is nice coffee. Side by side with Peruvian Morning, Wake and Bake, and Bourbon County Coffee (came in second last).

12oz bottle (2012). Pours a dark brown nearly black color with one finger mocha colored head. Aroma of rich roasted coffee/espresso, and dark chocolate. Taste is very roasty, rich coffee, chocolate malt, slightly bitter, with a bit of char at the end.

Excellent Imperial Stout with great coffee, oatmeal, chocolate, malt, and subtle hops.
