Modestly sweet, excellent espresso note, slightly acrid with some dark chocolate. Mouth is a bit unbalanced. Love the espresso on this but overall it’s just ok.

On tap @ Henrik. Looks nice this one. A deep dark brown one with a nice medium sized bubbly and lacing dark beige top. There's lots of sweetish chocolaty aromas hitting the nose buds. Roasted and a little sweet. Mocha and latte. Smells superb. Oh, it has a strong nutty marzipan sweetness in the taste! Did not expect that based on the nose. More chocolate here. Dip chocolate. It's thick and oily in the mouth and only soft prickling on the carbonation. Flavorful for sure. A little rum-like almost. Like a rum cake frosting. Like it 12.08.2016

Draught at Hops ’n Headz, Bellingham, WA; nitro
Black color. Some aroma of burnt paper. Smooth mouthfeel, roasted malts flavor and burnt paper, no coffee qualities.
Decent Stout, unimpressive.

Black with thin head. Has a bittersweet taste. The espresso element is relatively mild.

22oz bomber. Opaque brown-black body. Patchy beige head. A solid example of the style. Creamy, smooth chocolate, coffee, roast malt tones. Full bodied, but smooth and clean..very refreshingly not overbearing or barrel aged. A pinch chalky.dry at times, where you might hope it would be a little more lush. The hops are hard to decipher,but certainly give it some nice balance. Creamy. milky finish. Solid.

22 oz. Bottle carried home by Eric S. And spilt 3 ways. Pitch black color with thin white head. Aroma is old coffee, sugar and chocolate malt.
The flavor is coffee with cream, dry roasted malt and mild old vanilla bean note. Lots of lactose sugar can be detected. The texture is dry with a medium body. The coffee bean held up real nicely in this stout. A tad above average and highly drinkable.

Bottle: Poured a pitch black with thin whisper tan head. Strong coffee bold espresso. Taste is rich dark chocolate with nice bitter coffee bean. I liked that the nose was bold but the taste was smooth and silky.

On tap at Rokko Beer Diner, 7%, this stout pours a deep black with a thick foamy beige head that like their pale ale leaves behind great lacing coating the whole rim of the glass as it slowly dissipates. Rich umami, soy & chocolate aroma. A smooth medium bodied beer with a soft mouthfeel. It is packed with roasty milk chocolate flavors with the espresso/coffee coming through in the finish & lingering aftertaste. Well done, there’s no hint this is packing a 7% punch.

22 ounce bottle into snifter; no bottle dating, but is a recent release. Pours pitch black color with a 2 finger dense tan head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Spotty foamy lacing clings on the glass, with some light streaming carbonation. Aromas of chocolate, cocoa, coffee, roasted malt, toast, dark bread, oats, light cream, herbal, and roasted earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of dark/roasted malt and coffee notes with light-moderate earthy hop presence; and solid strength. Taste of big dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, roasted malt, toast, dark bread, oats, light cream, herbal, floral, and roasted earthiness. Light earthy roasted bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, roast, toast, dark bread, oats, light cream, herbal, and roasted earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice balance and complexity of dark/roasted malt and coffee with light-moderate hop presence; with good robustness and zero cloying after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a smooth, creamy, and lightly chalky mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with only a slight warming present after the finish. Overall this is a very good oatmeal coffee stout. All around good balance and robustness of dark/roasted malt, coffee, and light-moderate hop flavors; and very smooth to sip on. A nicely enjoyable offering.
