gotohelunc (473), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA Sep 25, 2008 Bottle. RIch, thick black syrup with a tiny tan head that never shrinks. Rich coffee and chocolate nose. TONS of coffee flavors, like a nice fresh ground roasta with a creamy mouthfeel. It sticks around in the mouth for awhile with bitterness and sweet flavors. Delicious. AndyReynolds (280), Wilder, Kentucky, USA Sep 23, 2008 Updated: Oct 11, 2008Pours a thick dark black with little head, very nice lacing though. The aroma is strong with coffee. Notes of chocolate stand out. The taste is strong, almost over powering coffee with a slight after taste of chocolate. This beer was not as imprreessive as I had hoped, but still pretty good. Just not for me. Thanks, 1 2many! Unique69crazy (119), Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA Sep 23, 2008 EXCELLENT! Fantastic scent when you open the bottle, wonderful from top to bottom. Coffee and chocolate notes fill the air as you take down the first sniff and a explosion of sweet and bitterness engulf your mouth as you enjoy this well-engineered brew. Great times had by all. awiseman01 (318), Indianapolis, Indiana, USA Sep 23, 2008 Updated: Apr 14, 2009Bottle, shared w/ danielcurtis81. Wow, excellent. Great coffee flavor, better than starbucks. Perfect amount of chocolate mixed in. Thouroughly enjoyed. Aging another bottle as we speak. 17thfloor (1403), Chicago, Illinois, USA Sep 23, 2008 Pours like a thick black cola with big soda like carbonation bubbles and clumpy brown head. Aroma of coffee spilled on coffee cake, coffee grounds, cinnamon. This is a really nice coffee stout. The oatmeal adds a nice vanilla cream sweetness, however it finishes dry and bitter like black coffee and dark unsweetened chocolate. Earthy, some tobacco as well. I think I might like this better than Kentucky breakfast, the sweet bourbon just conflicts with the coffee there. Medium body with light soda-like carbonation, fluffs up in the mouth just a bit. Fast drinking...
. ewestern (198), Ohio, USA Sep 22, 2008 Dark brown/black pour with a dark tan head, left nice lacing. Coffee and dark chocolate aroma, a little extreme on the coffee. Watery coffee flavor with a mild chocolate taste to is, some oats in there as well. Smooth on the tongue with a light burnt coffee finish.
Complex beer that is well done, just not my cup of tea.....or coffee. jeremytoni (1069), Swedesboro, New Jersey, USA Sep 22, 2008 From a bottle poured black with a small head. Very dry malty flavor with a lasting finish. BeerBaron617 (306), Novi, Michigan, USA Sep 21, 2008 Well, they’ve got the name, and description pretty much perfect. It smells, and tastes like a cup of coffee, chilled of course. It pours an opaque black, with a tan head. Like I said, it tastes like a cup of fresh brewed coffee, with some subtle chocolate notes, and malt on the finish. I would say this is my new favorite stout! Very good impression from Founders. Cheers!
