Flat Earth Black Helicopter

Had this beer at Beer Fest in Minneapolis. FANTASTIC! If you espress/dark coffee, dark chocolate, and dark stouts, you’ll LOVE this beer! I didn’t notice the metallic flavor at all. Also, would say that it’s ANYTHING but "thin & wattery". This beer is & stays substantial from the very first sip. Not excesiively dry on the finish like some other stouts. Highly recommended, if you can find it!

As a new beer drinker and a coffe lover I was interested in having my first coffee beer. On tap at the Ugly Mug, Flat Earth’s Black Helicopter was very tasty. At first all I could smell and taste was coffee - dark and smooth, no bitterness but then more subtle flavors come out. Easliy drank 1 pint. Looking forward to drinking more!

This a different coffee stout than anyone I had ever had. Its jet black with a grayish thick creamy head. aroma is pitch black cold coffee, very pleasing. It looks and pours somewhat similar to a guiness. the mouthfeel is super smooth and creamy. It has very low carbonation, and not much in the way of anything bitter or roasty. Its like a coffee guiness in a way. I loved it. It very different and very tasty!

On tap at the Ugly Mug release party, this was delicious. Pitch black color with oatmeal and roasted malts and plenty of subtle coffee. The flavor was one of the best I’ve tried in a coffee beer. The stout is perfectly balanced with a rich coffee flavor and had an impeccably smooth finish.

Tap at Happy Gnome. Black color with a thin head. Solid aroma of coffee, chocolate and milk. Lots more of all of those in the flavor. The coffee turns slightly bitter towards the finish with some roasted malt quality, too. Something seemed just a little different (in a good way), but very hard to nail down. Maybe fruity? I’m sure it’s not meant to be overblown like Tyranena’s Brewers Gone Wild coffee beers; Flat Earth just doesn’t do that. It’s very well done.
