Thanks to JaBier for sharing a swingtop bottle. The beer pours dark brownish-black with a thin tan head that recedes steadily. Partial rings of lace. Smells pretty much like a cold cup of coffee, plus a touch of malt. Medium body with a moderately bitter coffee character and notes of roasted malt. The finish is roasty coffee with a lingering bitter java aftertaste. Good brew overall.

Flip Top growler thanks to michaelpollack. Pours black. Tan head. Nose is freshly brewed coffee, vanilla bean and roast chocolate malt. Very rich and full nose. Taste is the same, but a bit muted. Body is on the thinner side, but still satisfying.

Thanks to whoever shared this at the tasting after NotB. Poured a dark brown with a brown head that dissipated to the edges. Aroma was full of coffee with a bit of a dark chocolate backing and slight roast. Flavor began with strong coffee throughout with a bit of roasted malts but mainly coffee.

Bottle thanks to thirdeye11. Pours with a tan head that fades over a very dark brown body. Huge aromas of coffee, roast, vegetables and black pepper. Flavors of molasses, brown sugar and a ton of coffee. Somewhat light mouthfeel with medium bubbles.
