Mar 20, 2008 I really do not know what to think of this beer. It had so many positive notes but some of the weaker notes really dragged it down. Poured a nice opaque black hue with a brown head which sadly had marginal at best lacing. Body seemed thin and was to an extent. Although this beer was creamy it was rather thin. Flavor had a strong coffee presence mixed with a sliight dark baking cocoa note in the background. Alcohol was present through out but stronger on the finish. My one disapoointent was the body being too thin. For an imperial stout i expected more and it wasn’t too be. Still good overall.

Mar 20, 2008 22oz bottle. Pours black with a creamy tan head but looks a little thinner than the oat or choklat, and a little thinner on the palate too. Coffee is definitely there but does not overpower, which is good. Smokey and malty with a bit of hops. A little alcohol burn with the aftertaste, but other than that it was well hidden. Not as complex as others, but gets better as it warms. Pretty good but not my favorite IS.

Mar 16, 2008 From a 22oz bomber. Pours a dark brown/black with a small tan head. strong aromas of coffee beans and roasty malts. Coffee, sweet amlts, roasty malts, hops and alittle touch of smokeyness come together to form a really good stout. Alcohol is well hidden. Smooth, thick mouthfeel.

Mar 16, 2008 Amazing coffee stout. When poured, it comes out a nice dark black with an amazing brown tan head that really reveals the coffee aroma into the air. It is very enjoyable an a good night capping beer.

Mar 16, 2008 Bottle poured into my tulip glass produced a small coco colored head that turned into a ring of lace around the glass on top of the black coffee colored body
Aromas of coffee and roasted malts some sweetness of fruit to the aroma as well
Flavors of coffee of course as well as sweetness from the malts and a good hop presence
A good full mouthfeel with enough carbonation to keep it interesting
I’m having this one for brunch so it is going down great I think the bomber will do it for me but I will grab another bottle for another brunch sometime

Mar 14, 2008 Aroma is espresso roast, touch of alcohol. Flavor is also espresso roast, alcohol, salty bitterness. Flat and bland, a serious lack of character.

Mar 14, 2008 Hoppier and drier than expected. The coffee melded well with the bitter and flavor hops more than I figured it could. The alcohol is very well hidden. Good late winter sipper for sure.
