Nov 16, 2008 My Bottom Line:
Vanilla, coffee and dark chocolate intertwine in this silky and quite drinkable Sweet Stout.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-A ring of foam circles the brown-lined blackness.
-This is rather lean for a 7.5% Stout.
-Complexity is not really at play here, but all of the sweet malts and coffee nicely coalesce.
-The bubbles are tiny and quiet, leaving plenty of room for the malts to express themselves.

Oct 31, 2008 500 ml bottle, via Beerlando. Pours a slightly cloudy dark brown, minimal brown head, with light visible carbonation. Great nose of coffee grounds and roasted barley with a little bit of earthy yeast. The flavor is pretty astringent, but managable. Lots of dark roast coffee, and zero perceptable alcohol. Long lingering coffee finish. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, a little watery in texture, with nice soft carboination. Overall, pretty decent, especially for a coffee lover.

Oct 25, 2008 Oily, thick, gloopy pour, surprisingly with a decent head and carbonation on top. Barely detectable coffee in the nose, overpowered by a fruity, and at times lactic aroma. Sweet stout indeed, and a nice well-balanced one at that. But there’s just not a whole lot of the coffee in there, making it a bit too sweet for what I was expecting.
