Almost great; strong notes of bittersweet chocolate, java, and a touch of cascara acidity, underlined by a hint of caramel. Finishes with an assertive bitterness, piney and clingy, a little bold for the beer. Good pint regardless.

Can. Deep brown in color with a small tan head. Aroma is mainly coffee. Taste is bitter. Bitter coffee upfront, bitter hoppy finish.

Dark brown with a creamy, beige head that lingers. Aroma of licorice and coffee. Taste is mildly sweet up front, bittersweet at the end with some mild, roasted grains & coffee bitterness. Finishes full of licorice. Body is to the light side of medium, mild carbonation. Slight watery notes. Good.

On tap at Good People, pours black with a small beige head. Aroma brings out light earthy coffee, toasted malt and some hearty oats. Flavour is along the same lines, with hearty oats, light coffee and toasted malt. Hearty and decently structured. Not bad.

12 oz can. Pkg 05/07/18 printed on the rim of the bottom of the can. The pour is opaque brown golden with a 2 inch khaki head that falls rockily. The aroma is char roast coffee along with some pine. The taste has a bunch of pine up front, followed quickly by the roast char coffee. The palate is medium bodied, active carbonation and mineral roast finish. Nice take.

Tap at Flying Saucer Emporium, Memphis. Colour is almost black with small white head. Aromas and flavors: Chocolate, some sweetness and roasted malts.

Thanks, nafesdad. The beer is black with brown edges. The head puffed up hugely as I poured the beer. It settles into a thick blanket of light brown foam. Lots of lacing, very good retention. The aroma has a lot of caramel, molasses and some chocolate. The coffee flavor is also strong, but it’s a bit of a nondescript dark roast with some ash and a little fruit. Light metallic note. The taste is on the sweet side but there’s a pretty hefty dose of roasty bitterness, particularly in the aftertaste. Nice caramel malt sweetness at the base. The coffee flavor on top of that isn’t my favorite and is quite strong. Some chocolate, again. Some mild hoppiness. Lots of coffee in the finish. Light but creamy feel. The coffee feels pretty strong with caffeine in the beer, but maybe, I’m just sensitive to that. Pretty good.

Can shared / road soda. Dark brown with a big beige head. Aroma is exactly what it says on the tin upfront, coffee and oatmeal with pretty strong metallic notes, roast, caramel and cocoa. Flavour is above moderate sweet and moderate bitter. Light medium bodied with soft carbonation.

12 oz. can. Pours almost black with a beige head that exhibits excellent retention. Roasted malt, coffee and chocolate aromas. Taste follows nose. Mildly sweet. Creamy texture. Very good.
