On tap at Exile, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out dark cocoa and earthy coffee upfront, with a touch of roast. Flavour is along the same lines, with cocoa and coffee upfront, and a light roastiness. Not a huge amount of depth, but it's pleasant.

Got in a trade with The-Adjunct-Hippie. 12 ounce bottle into tulip glass, bottled on 10/12/2017. Pours opaque dark brown/black color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy khaki head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, nutty medium roast coffee, caramel, brown sugar, and toasted dark/brown bread; with lighter notes of vanilla, cream, smoke, dark fruit, herbal, pepper, and roast/toasted earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of dark/roast/bready malt, coffee, cocoa, lactose, and light earthy hop notes; with great strength. Taste of big milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, nutty medium roast coffee, caramel, brown sugar, and toasted dark/brown bread; with lighter notes of vanilla, cream, smoke, dark fruit, herbal, pepper, and roast/toasted earthiness. Very mild roast/char and herbal/spicy hop bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, nutty coffee, caramel, brown sugar, toasted dark/brown bread, light vanilla/smoke, herbal, and roast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malt, coffee, cocoa, lactose, and light earthy hop flavors; with a great roasted bitter/sweet balance, and zero cloying/acrid flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering hop/roast bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, creamy/silky/bready, and slightly sticky/chalky mouthfeel that is nice. A touch thin, but nothing significant. Zero warming alcohol for 7.1%. Overall this is a delicious coffee/mocha stout. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malt, coffee, cocoa, lactose, and light earthy hop flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the mildly bitter/drying finish. Nicely rich for the modest ABV. Really well balanced fruity/nutty coffee, cocoa, lactose, and well rounded stout malt complexities. A very enjoyable offering, and well made style example.

12 ounce bottle from Brennan’s Broofield. Dark brown, medium creamy tan head, good retention. Aroma of strong roasted malt, coffee, a bit of a peanut-buttery note. The taste is roasted malts, cherries, coffee. Thin. Meh.
