On tap at Molto. It pours a deep brown-black with a tan head that leaves lacing that coats the rim of the glass. The aroma is quite nice sweet coffee & bready sweet buns. Like a relaxing coffee break snack. The carbonation is sharp rather than velvety which kind of ruins the coffee illusion, the mes-light body doesn’t help there either. The taste is a sweetened milk coffee, lightly chewy with a roasty bitterness & lactic acid sweetness in the finish. Good but if they boosted the body/mouthfeel it’d be great.

Tap at Komachi. Nose of coffee, cocoa, some cola. Mostly coffee. Sweet chocolate, coffee, cream flavor. A bit of mint/licorice too. A bit strange but interesting and pretty good. Light but smooth body. bitter, roasty finish.

Sampler at Watering Hole. Pours a deep brown with a tiny beige head that dissipates almost instantly. Insane fresh espresso nose with light vanilla that explodes throughout the entire glass. Very, very similar to Ballast Point Victory at Sea nose-wise. Thin, watery body with soft to medium carbonation on the palate; more of a porter than a stout. Some light roasted malt and coffee, but nowhere near the nose. Kind of disappointing, but on the other hand better than expected. Nice effort. --- Beer merged from original tick of #058 Relax Time Coffee Stout on 20 Nov 2015 at 19:31 - Score: 7
