Reviewed from notes.
Can to English pint glass.
Appearance: dark brown close to black in color with an eggshell white foamy head which slid off delicately to leave some lace
Aroma: big coffee roasty notes, sweet coffee notes, sweet cream and a light caramel backbone
Flavor: roasty to sweet coffee and caramel character; finishes slightly roasty coffee with some cream
Texture: medium bodied - maybe a touch under, sessionable, some smoothness but also some roasty assertiveness
Overall: nicely done coffee stout I'd be willing to come back to.

Can. A- Coffee, espresso, roasty. A- Black color, dark liquid, minimal head. T- Roasty, bitter, black coffee, espresso. P- Full body, thin texture, average carbonation, roasty finish. O- Almost too much espresso flavor. This was like drinking a really roasty and bitter cup of java. Good but too much.

Bottle from the Beer Store, Pours a solid black color with a huge bubbly and creamy beige head that persists forever. Aromas of creamed coffee, chocolate, and caramel dominate the nose. Light vanilla and a hint of earth round out the nose. The flavor is rich creamed coffee, caramel and a hint of chocolate again with just a touch of vanilla and brown sugar. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation and a sweet creamy silky mouthfeel. This is a very nice coffee beer, easy drinker and quite flavorful.

22 oz. bottle. Thin tan ring of head around the snifter. Nose is a nice solid amount of roasted espresso bean over chocolate malt. The flavor is really is a delight. Long roasted espresso with a charr and ashy texture. Lingering roast that last for a nice duration after the sip. The body is medium with a correct level of carbonation. Real enjoyable coffee stout.

Thanks Chris for sharing this one.
A - Looks like a really light stout...sort of blackish brown.
S - Nose is super roasty, lots of dry pecan and walnut notes.
T - Very roast, minor banana Esther up front with nuttiness peat, charcoal and cedar.
M - Thin mouthfeel and lacks any creaminess.
O - For a 6.8% coffee stout, this is pretty darn good.
