Bottle poured into a tulip glass produced a good finger worth of tan head that lasts. The body on this one was jet black in color
Aroma of coffee is strong along with the chocolate and a light sweetness (caramel)
This tastes like a great cup of good coffee with enough malt sweetness to counter the roasted bitters
A great mouthfeel on this one is just like Stout should be creamy smooth and just enough carbonation to keep it interesting
Very drinkable, definite recommend. A awesome Sunday brunch brew

Pours an opaque black color with an ample tan head that has good retention. The aroma is rich with coffee and spices. The flavor is similarly rich with espresso, coffee and spices. The mouthfeel is smooth, full and creamy. The finish is long with lingering black coffee. Overall: This is a great stout, God I wish I could get more. This is great.

Pours jet black, blacker than the coffee I brew at home (in Seattle). Outstanding lush and thick brown head which also reminds me of coffee. Nose is all toasted beans with some sweet malt. Mouthfeel is luscious but not too rich. deep coffee notes in the taste balanced by roasted malt and a touch of sweet mocha. Sprite carbonation is lively on the tongue. Wish I could have a cup of this in the morning! Utterly terrific fiver29 (732), Cleveland, Ohio, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 8, 2008 Pours pitch black with a thick tan head. Smells like pure coffee. Has a medium to heavy mouthfeel. There is a subtle creaminess to it as well. Tastes like I’m enjoying a nice dark roast coffee. And I really like coffee. The coffee is way over the top and I really like that. Only slight hints of malt and hop appear here. This brew is for coffee lovers only. flatmatt (230), Northville, Michigan, USA
