Feb 27, 2008 On tap at the pub. Pours mainly black, with a hint of brown and a quickly fading tanned head. Aroma brings out a light chocolate sense, along with fresh espresso, and somewhere in there I get a hint at vanilla. The main flavors are mild, blending coffee, espresso, and roast. Fairly velvety smooth on the palate, a nicely done little hop kick finishes out this balanced coffee/espresso beer. A slightly burnt lingering flavor continues to ride out after each sip as well. I’m starting to notice that all of Barley Brown’s beers are BALANCED, and every once in a while that rocks! 3 for 3 these guys get from me!

Sep 17, 2007 On tap at brewpub. Pours a very dark chestnut brown with a thin dark tan head. Sharp coffee aroma with a light nuttiness. The aroma more reminiscent of fresh coffee grounds rather than brewed coffee. Coffee bitterness up front, backed by some roasted malts. I liked the coffee character here, it was supporting role rather than the focus. Reminded me more of a porter in regard to mouthfeel.

Dec 23, 2006 Deep dark colored body. Great big coffee scents with a little chocolate thrown in. Flavor was typically stout with a huge presence of roasted malts and finished with great coffee taste.
