Espresso and Stout. A bewitching blend of two rich, roasted flavours. We use the finest fresh coffee to enhance the decadent pleasure of this dark and complex beer. Black as sin and just as much fun. Was 7.0% ABV

Bottle thanks to Josh. It pours pretty much black with a small tan head. The nose is earth, toast, cocoa, tang and coffee grinds. The taste is very dry, coffee grinds, earth, ash, decent acidity, touch of sweetness, burnt notes and cocoa with a pretty dry finish. Medium body and fine, foamy carbonation. Not great. Too dry.

Bottle shared in London - thanks to Josh. Pours clear brown with a foamy beige head. Restrained espresso aroma, some dark bread, cocoa. Light to medium sweet flavor with burnt toast, light bitter coffee, hints of burnt plastic. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Slightly tangy dark malt finish, a bit of milk chocolate, roasted malts, mild earthy bitterness. OK.

Bottle from Cotteridge Wines, Birmingham. Poured a deep mahogany with a big frothy tan head. The aroma is big coffee, roasted malt and a little dry smoke. The flavour is medium bitter, with a weak hoppy slightly odd medicinal bitter weak spice pepper palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation and a slightly oily mouthfeel.

Bottle @ home. Opaque black color, small brown head that diminishes fairly quickly. Aroma has malts, dark malts and lots of coffee. Taste malts, roasted malts, coffee, bitter. Medium body and carbonation. Nicely balanced. Like it.

Bottle @ benzai. Pitch black colour with a small light brown head. Smells very roasty, lots of coffee, dark chocolate, great. Tastes roasty, some coffee, very bitter, sweetish, some tar and a bit harsh. Full body, soft carbo. The espresso is mostly in the aftertaste.

Bottle courtesy of my dad, cheers dad! I believe that he picked it up from the brewery. Had this at home Saturday 7th September 2013. Pours dark, dark brown with reddy glints beige head. Slight tangy little lactic, coffee forward. Drinks a lot easier than the 7% bit too cold (my fault) but nice, however overall this is not my favourite of the Bad Seed Beers. A7 A4 T7 P3 Ov13 3.4

Bottle from Bier Huis, Ossett. Almost black with little head. Smells a bit pissy, but not bad pissy, just, erm, drank too much coffee pissy. A bit thin and tart for me. The Missus likes it. Says it’s got a nice 54% cocoa solids chocolate finish. Very specific, I know.
