Commercial Description:
The satisfying elements of both stout and coffee come together in this full-bodied treat. A marriage of Sumatra's best with rich chocolate and roasted malt provides for a truly enlightening beer.

Poured dark with a brown head. Aroma is huge on coffee, chocolate, and roasted malts. Taste was coffee, a big ass dose of coffee. Underneath the coffee was roasted malt, chocolate, some spice, and a hop bite underneath that lingered. Thank the lord I like coffee, otherwise I would hate this beer.

Bottle. Pours a deep brown/black with a hefty tan head that leaves some nice lacing on the side of the glass. Big balanced aroma of coffee, chocolate, some malty/wort aromas. Leads in with a roasted coffee front, chocolate and caramel, a little sweetness in the middle, some dark fruit notes, fades to slightly hop bitter and roast grain astringency. Smooth and incredibly drinkable, low carbonation, with a nice medium to heavy mouthfeel, a little acidic maybe from the coffee, tannic drying. Although this is coffee forward, they integrate it very well into the base stout.

this beer is delicious. Plain and simple. Deep, dark, and rich. I feel like I could drink this instead of coffee in the morning. Another winner from Bells.

Pours black with tan head that slowly diminishes. Aroma is smoky and full of coffee with hints of chocolate. The body is medium to full. The taste is all about coffee. Really nice roasted flavors. with a lingering bitter finish. very nice.

Very good stout. Small tan head. Light on the palate which is good for this type of stout. Nose is chocolate, caramel here and there, and strong coffee. Really enjoyed this one. Cheers!

Pours brown with a thin tan head. Smells of coffee, chocolate, some spicy hints, roasted malt, vanilla. Tastes sweet and semi bitter with a coffee flavor that is complimentary rather than the dominant feature. Some dark fruity hints emerge on the finish. The body on this one is slick. Very enjoyable beer.
