Deep dark brown coloured body with a nice, three to four centimetre tall tan head that stays afloat for a long time and leaves a subtle lace on the sides. Aroma of roasted malt, oatmeal, light grain, caramelised sugars and a touch of lactose, but nice and deep throughout the nose. Medium-bodied; Strong rich nutty and vanilla flavours show at first with a deep sweet and caramely bite soon afterwards with a touch of dry oatmeal noticeable and lactose at the end, but pretty nutty and rustic towards the end. Aftertaste shows some dry, grainy and oaty flavours with some molasses, cream, vanilla, lactose and very light brewed coffee notes as well, but relatively easy-drinking throughout. Overall, a pretty nice and relatively straight-forward beer with some nice flavours and not much complexity, but easy-going while still flavoured pretty heavily. I sampled this 500 mL bottle purchased from Connecticut Avenue Wine & Liqour in Washington (DuPont), DC on 11-July-2022 for US$7,99, bottled on 14-September-2021 and sampled at my house here in Washington on 23-February-2023.

Bottle from Harvest. Pours a deep brown with a finger of beige head that dissipates. Coffee focused nose with some light creamer notes and cacao husks. On the palate tobacco, coffee and a faint touch of smoke. Medium bodied, but quite drinkable. Nice coffee stout.

16oz bottle. Great looking Stout. Beige head, fluffy and steady. Really nice base beer. The coffee is there, but isn't that flavorful. Excellent, clean, well executed beer.

Draught at Canary Square, 10/6/21. Dark mahogany colored body with untested clarity. Small, beige head shows low-to-moderate retention. Big coffee nose with softer vanilla, light honey and plentiful dark fruits. Quite aromatic, enjoyable and not dominated by anything, with no alcohol noted. Soft, moderately sweet and with a strong coffee character showing tons of roast, big fruitiness, lightly honey/cake-like malts and reasonable bitterness to balance. Body is lighter than expected, perhaps, for a rich coffee stout, but in light of its relatively very small size, it's understandable, and furthermore impressive how much flavor is packed in there. Still, would like a little bit more oomph to the texture as it gets very watery on the finish.
