Coffee forward stout, simple and clean and not thin, good stuff.

22 ounce bottle into snifter, bottled on 9/12/2017. Pours nearly opaque very dark brown color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy light khaki head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of big caramel, brown sugar, milk chocolate, nutty medium roast coffee, cocoa, toffee, molasses, and toasted dark/brown bread; with lighter notes of peat smoke, vanilla, raisin, plum, prune, fig, date, licorice, herbal, grass, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of dark/bready malt, cocoa, coffee, and light fruity yeast/earthy hop notes; with great strength. Taste of big caramel, brown sugar, milk chocolate, nutty medium roast coffee, cocoa, toffee, molasses, and toasted dark/brown bread; with lighter notes of peat smoke, vanilla, raisin, plum, prune, fig, date, licorice, herbal, grass, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. Mild herbal/grassy/spicy hop and roast bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of caramel, brown sugar, milk chocolate, nutty medium roast coffee, cocoa, toffee, molasses, toasted dark/brown bread, light dark fruit/smoke, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/bready malt, cocoa, coffee, and light fruity yeast/earthy hop flavors; with a nice malt/bitterness balance, and zero cloying sweetness after the finish. Slightly increasing dryness from hop/roast bitterness. Light-medium carbonation and medium-full body; with a very smooth, creamy/bready/grainy, and slightly sticky/chalky mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 8.25%. Overall this is an awesome wee heavy. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/bready malt, cocoa, coffee, and light fruity yeast/earthy hop flavors; very smooth and easy to drink for the ABV. Very rich and complex dark/bready malts with nice cocoa/coffee presence; mild complementing fruity yeast and earthy hop notes in the background. Does not feel overly roasty to fall out of style at all. A really enjoyable/unique offering, and spot on style example.
