Nov 15, 2009 On tap at OBrien’s. Black. Thick tan head. Double coffee stouts rule! Great chocolate coffee aroma, that coats your mouth and lingers on. Milky creamy texture. Light illusion of sweetness, but dry finish. Nice.

Nov 12, 2009 On-tap at Stone. Pours dark brown/black with a medium size, light brown head that leaves some lace. Smells like sweetened coffee grounds, earthy and dirty. Tastes the same. Slightly sweet roasted malts with some very earthy, nasty coffee ground flavor. Sourness on the finish. Not very good at all. Medium body, fizzy carbonation.

Nov 9, 2009 Draft at Obriens. Nose is big espresso coffee with hints of milk chocolate, marshmallow and vanilla. Flavor follows suit, coffee grounds-bomb the palate with cocoa nibs and vanilla-brown sugar sweetness hanging in the back, roasty character, hints of grassy bitter hops, finishes sweet. Medium-full body, smooth creamy texture, modest carbonation. A huge coffee stout, rich flavors, quite drinkable since the alcohol presence is muted.

Nov 1, 2009 Pours deep brown with an inch-thick tan head. Aromas are of red fruits, caramel, chocolate and of course coffee. Taste actually begins with floral hops before a balanced coffee and bittersweet chocolate, followed by a bitter ending in which the alcohol really comes through.
