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.

Bottle. Pours black with a brown head. Aroma is roasted malt with notes of coffee and a hint of hops. Full body, thick, almost creamy. Flavor starts with sweet chocolate, lingers on coffee beans and has a bitter finish of coffee and hops. Quite good.

Very good, although not quite as good as Choklat. Much drier and more roasted, with a very strong although not overwhelming coffee burst. Looks fantastic, darkness and good head, although I have to compliment myself on a perfect pour. And at a surprising 12% it remains dangorously drinkable.

this beer pours beautifully. a deep black murkiness reminiscent of a perfectly brewed espresso. it has a striking golden head that bubbles like the witche’s cauldron of macbeth. its lacing falters down the stretch but still has a great appearance. notes of coffee beans, liquorice, chocolate, malt, and a really surprising finish of lavender and hops. quite remarkable.

This is a beer to fall in love with. It pours deep black, so dark that only the strongest light will shine through it. The head is a middling caramel, and the nose is coffee and chocolate. The palate--ah, the palate. Deep, rich coffee with semi-sweet chocalate and toffee sugar notes--but not really sweet mind you--with a lovely dry backstop. Wonderful.

22 oz. bottle. First Batch. Pours black with some large carbonation bubbles clinging to the sides of the glass. No light passes through when held againist the sun. Moderate mocha brown head that disappears after a few sips. Wonderful aroma of fresh coffee, chocolate and lightly roasted malt. The flavor is equally enjoyable with again coffee, chocolate and lightly roasted malt well combined with no one flavor singly dominating. Coffee bitterness at the finish with a definite warming from the alcohol. Probably my favorite from ST thus far, although I think I may have to re-visit Choklat one of these days.

Bottle: Massive espresso notes fill the room as soon as the cap pops off this rich brown pour. Massive brown head and spotty lacing. The nose continues intensity of espresso, mocha, and dark chocolate. Flavor is jah-va loaded for sure. Espresso, heavy roast, and bittersweet cocoa take over in the flavor. A coffee stout lover’s dream come true. Thanks beerbill!
