Jun 8, 2007 Nice tasty coffee beer that really has a very evident coffee flavor. Nice for an after dinner beer.

Jun 8, 2007 12 Oz Bottle. Pours a deep brown, with a orangish glimmer. Rimmed in a growth of coffee and cream head, rocky. Aroma bubbles forth with some percolator coffee, nips of burnt chocolate and a salty tang of marzipan. Flavor is similar, with a particular tongue curbing tang meddled with oak, chocolate dust and a faint afterthought of coffee. Not nearly enough body for a Sweet Stout, nor anything to keep the beer hanging on except for some almond skins and fading toffee. As with most of their line...meh.

May 30, 2007 Black, thick kahaki colored head. Nose had nice notes of wet coffee grounds, roasty milk chocolate, and soft toasty caramel tones. Good dark coffee flavors up front that balance out with lightly acidic blackened chocolate note. Faint dried citric tones aim for late balance late and seem to pull it off well. Decent complexity for a lower ABV. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry bittersweet finish. Not bad at all. It’s a good session stout for coffee lovers...that’s it....

May 25, 2007 Bottle. Black pour with lots of tan head. Looks like a soda. Very slight coffee flavor. Decent finish. Probably should be colder than I had it.

May 25, 2007 Light licorice aroma. Somewhat thin for the style with absolutely no head. Bit of cardboard, smidge of licorice, touch of cola (no real coffee flavor). Antiseptic finish. with a slight afterburn.

May 22, 2007 bottle. pours black, moderately carbonated. coffee aroma dominates, some caramel, but mostly roast. flavor has a twinge of sourness (intentional?), some malty front, and then lots of coffee in the finish. needs more booze, more body, or something else to stand up to the coffee and make this more than just a weak coffee-flavored stout. still, not bad.

May 19, 2007 Poured a dark brown with minimal tan head. I expected there was going to be a lot of good coffee in both the aroma and flavor of this beer. There was a little in the aroma, but the flavor was pretty disappointing. I’m not sure how to describe the taste. It wasn’t great. I guess I’ve been spoiled by Founders Breakfast Stout.
