Jun 5, 2008 Smell is coffee - but almost a sour note in the background. Flavor is pale and non-impressive. Just like drinking a weak coffee at Dennys.

May 19, 2008 Bottle pours black with a tan head. Smells like mocha coffee. Has a silky medium mouthfeel. Taste is coffee, chocolate, some alcohol, and has a nice roasted malt finish. Overall this is a nice brew for the style.

May 18, 2008 Pours pitch black with a thin light brown head. Lots of dark roasted coffee on the nose. A lot of coffee flavor upfront, with a twangy lactose quality, and a hit of cocoa in the finish. Slick mouthfeel. Rich and full flavored, but not so overwhelming that I couldn’t put down a few pints. Wow, a sessionable coffee stout? Nicely done!

May 18, 2008 Purplish brown with a medium brown head. Aroma of coffee, roasted malts, cocoa and sour milk. Taste is malty and sour with a mild coffee aftertaste. A so-so effort at best.

May 16, 2008 Dark brown with little head. Big mocha syrup, black malt aroma. Light/medium body and smooth. Big coffee bean, cocoa, and blackened malt flavor here with a nice espresso bitterness to finish. As advertised it’s a Java stout.

May 9, 2008 12oz bottle, courtesy of an in-person trade at DLD. Thanks! Pours a dark chocolate brown color; khaki head with fine-bubbled lacing; pretty nice pour. Well-roasted coffee and espresso and bitter baker’s chocolate in the aroma; very pleasant nose. Medium mouthfeel: following the aroma, plenty of dark, roasted coffee and dark chocolate; not incredibly deep (predominantly coffee over a basic chocolate malt core), but still pleasant; a touch chalky mid-palate. Medium finish: bitter chocolate, coffee, and a touch of breadiness.
