Dec 23, 2008 batch 08 0410... whatever that means.
pours into a snifter very dark brown nearly black topped by a purple tinted tan head. random spotty lacing is minimal.
the aroma is very malty with a a touch of char/ acidity, stale mediocre quality coffee, toasted nuts, brown sugar, milk/lactose and a little bit of spice.
definite lactose flavor is almost off putting... malty and a little sour with some caramel, ash, chocolate and cinnamon-y spice. sour finish with some mellow coffee lingering in the aftertaste. light to medium body with an acidic mouth feel and prickly carbonation.
all in all it*s rather meh. but, it is light enough to drink a bunch of.

Dec 22, 2008 22oz bomber picked up at Magruders, DC. Thick. opaque black color with some slim stained glass red corners. Nice, lasting head. Big coffee aroma. So was this the original Coffee Stout? Nu-school db double black label. This really is a nice Coffee Stout. The big malt body works quite well with the coffee. Excellent mouthfeel. A must for Stouties.

Dec 20, 2008 A bomber from the Binny-apostrophe-s in Orland Park, IL - Batch 08-0410, for what that is worth. On the label it is referred to as an Imperial Stout. Guess it is not strong enough for RateBeer. Anywhat - It pours a very dark brown body with a three-fingered tan head that both lingers and laces. It has an aroma of old coffee, lightly roasted malts, a touch of bittersweet chocolate, and cigarette ashes. That pretty well describes the flavor as well, except that the ashes turn into damp cigar butts and add a not altogether pleasant bitterness to the finish. Okay.
