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.

Dark black body with a small creamy light brown head. Sweet rich coffee aroma with some light chocolate hints. Strong creamy coffee flavor with a gentle chocolate background.

Pours out a black color with a thin beige head. aroma smells like coffee grounds. Flavor is very much the same. i really thought this was an impy stout and was a bit suprised when read the reviews.

This isn’t for the weak hearted. There is an extremely strong burnt coffee taste. That being said, I love it! Pours dark, with a nice tan laced head. You can smell the roasted coffee from the first pour. The first taste is an immediate blast of strong java, then smooths out with the alcohol and co-mingled chocolate. There is a strong roasted java taste left on the palate after every drink. Although the coffee taste kind of kicks you in the mouth, it’s quite drinkable. I’ve had a whole growler of this beer. A nice stout to occasionally drink, but not something I would put in the weekly rotation. If you like coffee stouts this is a must try.

Bottle. Poured black with dark caramel head. Smells of lots of chocolate, malt and coffee. Tastes like more of the same with coffee beans in the aftertaste. Mouthfeel was pleasant. Delicious.

This beer got me started brewing java stout for myself. The coffee flavor is a bit too strong; I usually brew with half the recommended coffee and get a great stout. A good reference point.

Black in color with small medium brown head and nice lacing. Aroma was as expected, filled with roasty coffee notes and a little fruity. Flavor was very nice, coffee wasn’t overwhelming. Good balance of roasted flavors, coffee, chocolate, and still a little sweet. Aftertaste reminded me of nachos for some reason- corn flavor maybe? Still really good.

Sampled with stegosaurus at Issac newtons. Black pour with a coffee//roasted aroma with hints of mild fruit. Heavy coffee taste with a roast finish. I don’t like a heavy coffee taste but this was damn good.

Very thick and black with a small tan head. Very strong aroma of cappucino. Tastes just like it smells. If you ever had starbucks cappucino, imagine that mixed with a good stout. I think the taste is a little too strong and bitter, but its a very unique beer that everyone should try.
