Shaner D and I doing the live circuit at Beer fest, alternating the spro and stout: “Let’s make a beer with shocking polarity.” “Black on black” I agreed. Tommy D, always the conductor, kept us grounded with his three-pronged wisdom: “Like love, boys, it starts with a spark. When the field is fully charged, flip the switch: Voltage!”

A bit murky medium brown. Aroma is mellow and coffeeish. Taste is sweet up front, with a bit of coffee kicking in late. Finishes sweet. Ok coffee stout, balanced and mellow.

Draught at Tap & Barrel, Coal Harbour, Vancouver
Black color, with creamy, persistent, brownish head. Aroma of roasted malt and cardboard; whiff of coffee. Dry and smooth mouthfeel; some roasted malt and coffee flavor, with light milk impression; correct bitterness.
Nice Stout.

On tap at the Alibi Room, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma is quite roasty and oatmeal heavy, with not much of the coffee showing. Flavour brings the coffee out more with medium roasted black coffee, some oatmeal and some light roasted. Medium bodied with a nice balance. Decent easy drinking stout.

On tap. Pours black with light head. Not much aroma, some coffee and burnt malts. Dry. Not much depth. Flavors of burnt coffee and dry malts. A miss for the name and style.
