A classic stout with a bold coffee nose to set you up for the smooth chocolaty coffee flavours that linger. Hints of hop spiciness help balance this eye opener and a long bold coffee finish to remember.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: black in color in the glass with a two and a half fingers of eggshell white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: big coffee beans - sweet, bitter and earthy rounded out with some milk chocolate and then a delicate earthy hoppiness underneath
Flavor: roasty, bitter and earthy up front then subtle earthy to spicy hops underneath; barely any aftertaste but seemed somewhat earthy and bitter
Texture: medium bodied, between sessionable and being a sipper; roastiness grabs some of the sweetness to prevent from being too smooth but this isn't watery - it sits just right! finishes coffee forward roasty toned with a delicate earthy backing
Overall: pretty nicely done coffee stout I would welcome again.

Can thanks to Steve. It pours black with a thick, foamy and dense tan head. The aroma is rich roast malt, earthy, plenty of coffee roast, cacao nibs, molasses, burnt toast and liquorice. The taste is dry, bitter, hard roasted malt, umami, plenty of coffee, burnt toast, ash and some peppery spice with a drying finish. Medium body and high, foamy carbonation. Could maybe be done with just a touch of sweetness to provide some balance. Carbonation is a bit high also. Not too shabby.

440ml can; BBE Apr 2019. Shared between three on 16th Dec 2018. Black bodied, tanned foam on top. Ground coffee and bitter dark chocolate aromas and flavours rule this very pleasant Stout.

Can from Supervalu, Carrick-on-Shannon [210717]
Pitch black, frothy beige head, some lacing
Aroma of coffee roast, lot of coffee, very roasty
Taste - Rich black good quality coffee roast, roasted malts, coffee is quite intense, roasted malts, some rich dark malt, rich flavour for abv
Palate - Medium carb and body, smooth texture (after a swirl as a bit fizzy), fairly bitter roast coffee. Finish - coffee roast linger, cleans off palate
Overall - Rich coffee stout, not a big fan of coffee beers but good quality tasting coffee in this.
