473mL can. Pours dark brown with a beige head. Toasted malts and coffee on the nose; a bit of green pepper coming through as well. Flavour has toasted bread crust malts and roasted coffee beans. Dry and full-bodied. Very nice coffee stout.

Poured from 473mL can. Black with beige head. Roast malt, mild espresso. Overall a little bit light, but decent nonetheless.

Black, fast fading tan head. Cold espresso nose. Bitter roast espresso palate, under carbonated as are most coffee stouts

Dark brown. Not much head. Big coffee aroma. On the palate, the coffee is strong, but it’s balanced by a nice malt sweetness. Not a complex beer, but represents what it says quite well.

On tap at Smugglers' Trail, pours black with a reddish tinge and a small tan head. Aroma is loaded with fresh coffee, just like a fresh cup of coffee, with a touch of roasted barley. Flavour is dry and hearty, tasting like a fresh cup of coffee. Very hearty, quite dry. Very drinkable stuff.

Smells of nice sweet coffee, barley, molasses notes, has good dark black body with modest foam. Flavour is simple coffee and dark chocolate, good carbonation but a little watery. Simple, some nice elements but also a little forgettable.
