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.

If you had a six pack of the Java you’d be buzzed and hyper all at the same time. The coffee taste though listed as Sumatra must have been roasted darker than a Sumatran coffee is usually roasted. If you’re looking for a stout with a coffee taste, BAM here’s the Java Stout from good old Bell’s.

12oz bottle. Drank luke warm which may have affected the review. Sweet bold coffee taste paired with a strong solid malt backround. Color was black as can be. smokey

Can’t decide on the after dinner drink: coffee or a rich stout...this one is both. Both tastes come out evenly making this an instant favorite. The color is dark opaque black and the bitterness of the coffee bean combined with the rich roasted stout comes across nice - not too strong

Poured a very dark, opaque brown into a snifter. 2 finger cocoa colored head leaves some decent lacing and reduces to a thin cap on top of the beer. Very chocolatey aroma, some notes of coffee and a biscuity oaty note. Mainly coffee in the taste, backed up by chocolate syrup flavors as well as that biscuity note from the smell. Similar to Terrapin’s Wake-n-Bake. The body here is kinda flimsy for a stout. Carbonation is fine, no alcohol taste. Easy to drink.

This relatively low rating is mostly based on the fact I just don’t like coffee. Smells like coffee beans. Too much coffee for me though.

Tap @ Barleys Taproom Asheville, NC. Pours balck with a one finger tan head that leaves good lacing. Aroma of coffee, roasted malt, chocolate, and caramel. Taste is the same as aroma. Medium full creamy mouthfeel with a mild to moderate amount of bitterness. Very good.
