Black. Medium palate. The aroma has coffee and malt. More coffee in the flavor, with heavily roasted malt. A good coffee stout from this small brewery.

[Growler] shared by skyview. Pours a clear deep brown with a diminishing beige head. Aroma is acrid coffee grounds, dry cocoa powder, some bittersweet chocolate, and roasted malts. Flavor has lots of great coffee, rich chocolate, caramel, and a bittersweet finish.

SourFest II. Growler, courtesy of Skyview. Black color with no head. Big coffee aroma. Very strong coffee flavor. A lot of roasted malts and some chocolate. While it may really be just a glass of thick, alcoholic and malty coffee, I happen to love that.

Brown color. Heavy coffee on the aroma. About all I smell, but not offensive. Very solid coffee taste.

Had this one from a growler, thanks Slothgar! Oily, milky dark brown pour with a medium brown, foamy head, a nice barbecue sauce, sweet chocolate and soy sauce nose, delicious complexity, very malty, thick and cloying mouthfeel, lots of toasty malt, chocolate and coffee, an outstanding stout.
