Jan 14, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours a dark brown with a creamy tan head that retains well and laces the glass.
The aroma is lactose and sweet chocolate with some coffee and leather and smoke. It’s pleasant at first but becomes more metallic and leathery as it sits.
The flavor is a bit subdued - chocolate malts with a little coffee and some strange bitterness at the end. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with creamy carbonation.
Overall, an interesting beer. Some off notes keep it from being better. I’d like to see more coffee.

Jan 13, 2009 I thought this was pretty good. It has a nice dark color with a malty, almost sherry, or tiramisu aroma. The flavor is malty, grainy, with a hint of coffee from the chicory. Worth trying at least once.

Jan 10, 2009 The pour is dark with a light brown head. Aromas of chocolate and coffee beans waft up. Consistency is thick and creamy with the flavor of roasted coffee beans being the most predominant. The stout goes down very smooth and has a relatively low alcohol content level by volume for a beer of this type. In other words, drinking a few pints is manageable without feeling woozy. This is a great alternative to a latte from Starbucks.

Jan 9, 2009 Poured from a 12oz bottle (Bottled on 12/02/08) and served in a pint glass. This stout poured a modestly dark brown that displayed some nice ruby edges when held up to light. A one-finger thick head of creamy, tan foam settled a bit, then lasted throughout the entire glass. Excellent lacing. The aroma consisted of freshly roasted coffee, caramelized sugar, and a light, herbal/mint note. The flavor also showed a nice, evenly roasted coffee note, followed by caramel, a bit of chocolate, a hint of licorice, and a very mild hop bite at the finish to even things out. Mellow and quite tasty! The mouthfeel was medium-bodied and had moderate carbonation. This stout incorporated each flavor evenly, without the coffee overpowering the subtle sweetness. A really nice beer.
