Can sampled @ Hopishop #3. Black syrup with no head. Nose is umami, herbal, coffee beans are big but they are more herbal rather than fresh roast. Taste is same big overly herbal coffee, dangerously close to vegetable, herbal, coffee, syrup, low chocolate, some roast. Big herbal coffee body. Espresso beans are a big here but too herbal for me, as opposed to fresh roast (not sure what the right term is but you know what I mean). Overall okay but should have been better.

can - Black pour, tan head with a pleasant roast malt and coffee aroma. It has a robust dark roast malt and coffee flavor with some chocolate character. Full flavored and very drinkable. Well done.

Bottle thanks to George. Pours a dark brown with beige head. The aroma is strong coffee and chocolate. Medium mouth feel, rich chocolate, strong coffee roast, light bitterness, really enjoyed this one.

16oz can via the Mystery Box BIF. Pours a murky, opaque black with some creamy, brown head. Nose is a mix of molasses, licorice, roasted grains, mild coffee bean, some brown sugar, quite a bit of bread crust, even a little wet earth. Flavor is a bit more straight forward, malty, mild brown sugar, molasses, coffee, burnt toast, bread crust. Dry finish. Very drinkable, but I would like a bit more coffee.

Poured from a 16 oz can. Aroma has a nice coffee forward character. Light roast notes with some fruitiness and nuttiness from the coffee. Medium light chocolate notes. Light fruit esters. Pours black with a moderately thick, light mocha head that recedes quickly to the edges where it lingers. Light lacing and faint legs. Flavor has a nice light sweetness with a solid amount of chocolate and light roast notes. Moderately strong coffee character contributes nice complexity. Medium light bitterness. Some lingering roast character with hints of astringency. Light fruit esters. Mouthfeel is medium bodied and slightly creamy with medium carbonation. Medium low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a pretty good beer with a nice aroma and flavor upfront. The finish is a bit bitter and astringent and reminds me of old coffee grinds, but thankfully its not overpowering. Good but not amazing. Just tried this again and its not nearly as astringent and much less bitter. This has really helped the beer. My new rating has been changed from a 3.4 to a 3.8 to reflect that.

Sample at Kurtkeller 015: Coffee-tastic 02 on 07/05/2014. Brownish-black color with a medium beige head that diminishes steadily to a film. Stringy lacing. Aroma of chocolate, coffee and malt. Light to medium body with a roasty character of coffee and malt, with touches of chocolate. The finish is dry with a cocoa and espresso aftertaste. Above average overall.

Reviewed from notes. Rcvd in trade.
This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a nice looking dark brown to black colored body with a fairly nice lookin’ one finger white foamy head that dissipated within less than a minute.
The aroma had a nice roasty to somewhat bitter smelling coffee/somewhat light chocolatey-goodness just rolling all around my nose.
The taste took those smells and just basically really shook them all about to blend to taste and really shake things up a bit.
On the palate, this one sat a light to medium and showed a fairly decent sessionability to hold itself up against other stouts.
Overall, I say this was not a bad American Stout, seek and you shall find a much worthy stout to enhance your beer tasting experience.
