Bottle thanks to rollinhard. Pours a deep dark brown with black tan head. Aroma of fresh dark roasted coffee bean, terrific! Flavor of coffee, dark roast. Medium body, medium carbonation. Great breakfast beer!

Bottle #449. Body-opaque, thick ring of bubbles, medium film of bubbles. Nose0dry coffee bean, porter, smells like a coffee stout should. Taste-breakfast cereal, coffee, biscuits and coffee, cherry, French vanilla, café mocha, Nutella. Very well done.

750mL, no date, 451/500 from tytoanderso--thank you Tyler. Deep mahogany with a 1 1/2 finger tan head, pretty good retention. Clean roasted malts up front with some underlying coffee notes--not too busy, but what’s there is good. Flavor has the roast dominating with again the underlying coffee. Some light brown sugar sweetness is added, but that’s about it. Semi-dry with bitterness peaking around 3. A little overcarbonated with a light body. One dimensional, but no big flaws.

750ml from tytoanderso - thanks, Tyler!!! Deep dark pour with a pretty lively body and head, crisp and with decent lacing. The aroma is fairly subdued compared to some coffee stouts I’ve had but certainly quite rich given the abv. Full mouthfeel, creamy on the palate not unlike the Shorts offering. Slight bitterness from the cofee, well integrated with the solid base beer. Quite enjoyable!

750ml bottle (#400/500) from tytoanderso. Thanks Tyler! Served in an English pint glass. This stout poured an opaque black with a few ruby highlights and a thick head of dark tan foam that settled into a lasting cap. A small amount of slippery lacing was left around the glass. The aroma was chock full of fresh coffee, and also a bit of chocolate and caramel. The flavor had cold coffee, rich chocolate, a light nutiness, and a lasting coffee bitterness. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied and creamy smooth. A moderate amount of tingly carbonation. The coffee is definately the star of the show. Pretty nice.

Bomber from tytoanderson. Thanks once again Ty. Bottle number 448/500. I’ve been fairly happy with this brewery so far, and so I’m looking forward to this. Pours black with a tan head. Nose has a rich burnt coffee character. Not that I drink coffee, but this is what I would expect from a cup of coffee thats been slightly over brewed. Taste is sweet, and rich and somewhat light, this to me really feels like drinking alcoholic coffee, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but its somewhat startling.

750 ml bottle #442/500 via trade with tytoanderso - Pours a clear brown color with a one finger thick tan head. Very light lacing. Has a good bit of carbonation. Aroma is big coffee and toasted malt. Flavor is coffee, roasted malt, and a bit of chocolate. No lingering bitterness like the Surly Coffee Bender I recently had. Medium body. A very nice beer. Thanks Ty.
