From a growler at DLD - Pours dark brown with no head. Aroma of coffee and roasted malts. Flavor is coffee, roasted malts. Palate is somewhat watery with a lingering coffee aftertaste.

Thanks to Hopdog for the bottle. Aroma of coffee and gym socks. Black with a tan head. Thin palate. Coffee and very bitter chocolate in the flavor, but just too thin for my liking.

bottle...aroma of strong coffee, roasted malts...pours dark-almost black with a decent head. A few of these will fire you up-high caffine levels

Bottle courtesy of hippie4beer. Aroma is overpowering w/ coffe, however the coffee flavor is much more subdued. I’m not a big fan of the coffee stouts, but this one is nicely done.

Bottle from hopdog via Mystery Swap 2.0. Pours deep blackish with 1-finger tan head. Aroma of big coffee grounds, roast dark malt, some hops and jalapeno oil. Very coffeeish aroma. The taste is roasty malty, with a rich flavor of coffee and jalapeno oils...similar to Bell’s Java stout but perhaps not as smooth. It gets a bit tarter as it warms. Very unique.

Bottle poured into my Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale snifter. Pours a very dark brown. There is no head to speak of. Only a little froth ring around the perimeter of the glass. Not a whole lot in the nose. But what you do get is some roasty coffee flavor. Taste is roasted coffee in your face! Some good roasted/burnt coffee flavors going on here. Not getting alot of other flavors than the coffee. However, the coffee used seems to be decent so it works for me. Mouthfeel is medium and pretty carbonated. Decent for a stout. This is a good java stout. Not over the top. Just an all around well made beer.

Bottles acquired in trades with Sephiroth & BigErn (thanks!). Poured a dark black with a large sized tan head. Aromas of strong coffee grounds with roast, and chocolate. Tastes of coffee, roast, oats, and light vanilla. Now this is what I expect from a coffee beer - strong aroma and tastes of coffee!
