Mishawaka Jibber Jabber Java Stout

Brewed by Mishawaka Brewing Company
Style: Stout
Mishawaka, Indiana USA

pours black - nice tan head- aroma is carmel, toffee and coffee - taste was coffee, hops, malt and bitter - not really too bad - but pretty bland/boring to me. Nothing offensive just not quite mixed right for me. a bit watery taste - but definate potential.

Pours a dark mahogany, nearly black, with the brown showing around the edges and a slender tan head. No lace. It has an aroma of roasted malt & barley, iced coffee, slightly curdled cream, and a roast nut bitterness. Smooth to drink, the flavor pretty well echoes the aroma except that an earthy bitterness is added that lingers into the finish. Don’t know what the ABV is, but it seems pretty sessionable.

This bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a very small sized head of foamy fine to large sized brown colored bubbles that were mostly lasting and left behind a opaque typically carbonated black colored body. The aroma was cocoa coffee and dark malt. The semi-thick mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish. The flavor contained notes of dark malt and brown malt. A decent one that I would consider buying again.

Bottle. Pours pretty dark, near black with a small tan head. I eagerly took a sniff, hoping for some fresh, roasty coffee but couldn’t really find any. Any coffee character the aroma has is pretty tame, I’ve encountered other stouts that don’t even use coffee with stronger hints. The nose seems pretty sweet, some caramel and chocolate is noted. A bit more coffee is detected in the flavor, but again, nothing very strong. A slightly dry chocolate hint is here, faint woody hops, coffee as an afterthought in the finish. Not bad, but pretty underwhelming.

Pours a deep dark brown with a small brown head. Aroma is fresh, cold coffee and caramel. Flavor is bitter coffee and some weird sweetness. This bottle may be a little off, but not a terrible beer.

Pours dark brown, with a brown head. Aroma is coffee and chocolate. Flavor is coffee, roasted malt, and chocolate. Body is way thin.

12 oz bottle and served in standard pint glass: deep brown with creamy head and good lace. The aroma has notes of iced mocha coffee, prune, grassy hops, burnt malts, and a hint of DMS. The taste is mostly malty with chocolate and toasted bread, very little hop or coffee character. Some lactic acid twang. The mouth feel is smooth and a tad underwhelming. Okay.

Bottle courtesy of stfun. Pours brown with a light brown head. Smells of coffee, chocolate, roasted malt. Tastes of cherries, dry, coffee, tarte. Weird.
