From tap at Bearded Iris Brewing, Nashville. Big espresso aroma with mocha, coffee grounds, roasted malt, milk chocolate, cocoa, and fudge. Pretty sweet and creamy lactic vanilla, full body, gorgeous Coffee Stout.

Can thanks to Savada. Pours a very dark brown with floaties. The aroma is strong roast, dark chocolate, vanilla bean. Slick body, milk chocolate, vanilla, nice roast, boozy finish, very nice.

Can from the brewery shared at CB. Pours a thick and viscous deep brown to black with a finger of beige head that lingers. Very big espresso, driven coffee aromas with fudge brownie, cacao nib and notes of caramel with some light berry notes as it warms. Thick and viscous on the palate with the lactose adding viscosity, but just to the point where it still works. Lots of milk chocolate fudge syrup goodness on the palate with some sweetness, but the coffee and cacao nib notes really balance out the sweetness. Lingering coffee bitterness on the finish. Again, probably the best of the BI stouts at this point. Definitely worth the hype.
