12oz can. Deep brown body, translucent edges. Huge beige head. Pretty tasty beer, all the flavors come together well: coffee, chocolate, vanilla. Cold brew coffee takes the center stage, sublime and smooth undercurrent. Solid beer.

Can/Fest, A- Coffee, espresso, dark chocolate, roasty. A- Black color, black liquid, light brown head. T- Black coffee, subtle cocoa, roasty, mild bitterness. P- Full body, average texture, average carbonation, roasty finish. O- Actually not sweet at all. I’d say this is more like an Imperial Stout. Regardless of how it’s filed, it’s a really tasty beer. This is like drinking straight coffee or espresso. All around a simple and pure coffee stout.

On tap at Pizza Luce Downtown. Pours near black with a creamy dark brown head that dissipates to the edges and laces. Aroma has creamy earthy dark grains pairing with coffee notes. Flavor starts with sweet and earthy dark grains with coffee, wood and a light creaminess supporting.

Can into a taster showing pitch black with half a finger of latte colored foam. The nose shows a lot of sweet caramel latte. The palate is full bodied and lightly carbonated but smooth. Flavors of latte with an espresso bitterness. Not bad.

Outstanding sweet stout! Very well crafted with just the right amount of roast to balance the sweet. Excellent finish.

16 ounce can. Pours a pitch black color with a medium beige head. A huge coffee and vanilla nose. Huge coffee, vanilla, light roast, some light tobacco. Pretty good. Coffee forward beers aren’t really my thing, but this is good.

From a can. Black beer and a very dark, milk chocolate covered head. I poured this aggressively into a 1/2 liter mug and regretted it, lots of carbonation that overflowed before the pour was finished. Aroma has a moderate amount of coffee. Flavor is of sweet cafe latte, malt syrup. Lower carbonation on the palate than I expected from the pour. Well balanced; the coffee wasn’t necessary but it works well.
