| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 11, 2009 Poured oily black, with nice tan head. Nose full of coffee and roasted malts, tasted of coffee up front with a nice dark roasted finish. Overall an excellent and balanced blend of coffee and stout, as advertised! brosen561 (20), Minnesota, USA
| 4.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Nov 8, 2009 First coffee infused beer for me. It pours pitch black with a nice, chocolaty head, though it dissipates quickly. Very strong and wonderful aroma of freshly roasted espresso beans, like a nice coffee house. Flavors are awesome. Full of chocolate, cream, and of course, strong brewed coffee (dark or espresso I’d say). Finishes full, like syrup, and bites like a dryer stout. Wonderful to cozy up with when its cold out.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Nov 5, 2009 Very dark pour with a very dark tan head. WOW! COFFEE! Strong bitter coffee at that. The coffee dominates both the aroma and taste. Strong carbonation, which I normally don’t like but it worked and gave this a great mouthfeel. Sonicdescent (379), Donora, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Nov 3, 2009 Quite nice scent, fresh coffee, very strong. Hints of chocolate and vanilla in the background. Appearance is nice, if a bit thin looking as while it appears black, under light reveals brown highlights. Flavor is extremely coffee and cream forward. Very good, but the coffee for me anyway is not up to the gold standard of Speedway. Still very good. Mouth is surprisingly thick for a "regular" stout. Enjoyed this one thoroughly. hombrepalo (769), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 31, 2009 12 oz bottle from Archer Liquors. Similar to Founders breakfast stout. Aroma has bitter chocolate with lots of over-roasted coffee, some creamyness. Dark black color with a big reddish brown head. Flavor is chocolately and bitter, nice thick mouthfeel.

| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Oct 31, 2009 Pous opaque black w/a creamy tan head from the 22oz. bottle: Aroma is stiff: fresh espresso, dry roast, and dark chocolate. Flavor is a creamy, delicate blend of dry coffee and roasted malt with faint gun powder. Medium bodied. The only negative is that I wish more "stout" would shine through into the finish. I wouldn’t say the coffee flavor is overwhelming, though. Drinkability: Ahhmazing. Sweet. I can tell that it is what the brewers wanted it to be. Rebuy: Right away. #176 on 31102009 "BOO". DG.
