It had a faint "stouty" smell to it but no coffee that I can detect. Taste was also standard stout but no coffee. My friend said he could taste it so maybe my palate is deficient. In any case, this was a good stout but didn’t live up to the label for me.

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Aug 22, 2009 Another home run from New Glarus.
Appears a very nice near black with a pretty very light mocha head of fluff that turns into a crown with very nice lacing.
Smell is of coffee, underlying chocolate and cream.
Taste is similar to smell except seems very full like a milk stout in body. Which is not a bad thing at all. Goes down extremely easy, no sign of the admittedly low alcohol, but since when does it have to be gasoline flavored to be good?
This is a really great beer and it is a shame that I don’t have access to it here. boamr (138), Pennsylvania, USA

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 6, 2009 12 oz bottle courtesy of Secret Santa. Thanks Rudy. Pours an opaque black color with a fair sized khaki head that has good retention. The aroma is coffee, mocha, dust and cocoa. The flavor is similar to the aroma with the coffee notes being soft yet dominating. The palate is velvety smooth with good carbonation. The finish is medium in duration and dry with a lingering earthy flavor. Overall: A very enjoyable stout. Recommended drinking for stout lovers. Gethinbeer (1006), Nova Scotia, Canada
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 14/20 | Aug 5, 2009 Cheers JoeMcPhee. Fantastic aroma, coffee, malt and a hint of chocolate. Coffee is quality. Deep brown/coffee bean black colour. Thin tan lace that clings to the glass. Smooth texture. Lovely coffee flavour. This stout is easy to sup, just like drinking a mug of coffee. Well crafted ale. Maybe a bit more umph?!? this would be even better.
