Commercial Description:
Three thousand feet above sea level in the misty mountains of Jamaica, some of the worlds finest Arabica beans are hand picked on their way to becoming Blue Mountain Coffee. Halfway around the world, plump spring barley grows to maturity in the loamy soil of North America while aromatic hops are cutivated to exacting standards. Here in our kettles, these three special ingredients are blended to create a heady mixture of sweet sugar, dark roast, and complex flavor. Please enjoy this brew in moderation.

22oz bottle courtesy of Swolf3, thanks Steven. Dark black pour, darkbown head. Nice aroma, coffee and chocolate. Very smooth, alcohol is not very prominent at all. Very drinkable and very dangerous.

Bottle on tour of New England. Pours jet black with a tan ring. Aroma is malted milk, roasted malt and chocolate. The flavour is where the coffee hits you. Adds a great bitterness but it balanced out by milky, sweet notes. Unbelievable about the 12 ABV because it only shows up after it warms a good deal.

Black with great sweet coffee nose and flavor, with a hint of malt and even dark fruit far in the background. A bit of sour and a bitter finish complete a very compelling beer.

Pours a two finger light tan head that fades slowly to a thin layer leaving a good lace. Totally black color. Light carbonation and medium-heavy bodied. Coffee nose. Flavor is sweet roasted coffee and some chocolate. High ABV is hidden. Nice imperial stout for my 2500th bottle. $8.95 for a 22oz bottle from Colonial Spirits Acton, Ma.

Bottle. Pours a rich creamy black. Good malt flavors, and some carmel. Not the coffee flavors I would expect from a Southern Tier beer named jah-va. Different hints of cream and chocolate. Tasty!

YES !;!;!; IMPY STOUTS !;!;!; Black pour with brown head. Dark chocolate and coffee aromas. Moleasses, caramel and a dry coffee finish. Everything I love about beer. Well done.

Bottle, shared w/ and compliments of danielcurtis81. Great coffee and chocolate taste. Lots of sweetness; relatively thick. Some roastiness that adds wonderful character to this exceptional treat.

Coffee and lots of sugar in the aroma. Thick and heavy. 22 oz is far too much of this rich beer. Lots of sugar in the flavor with more coffee. A good coffee imperial stout.
