A heavy strong stout brewed with coffee, brown sugar and oats. With its powerful quality and morning ingredients it seems parallel to a solid dawn session at Blacks. An inside connection to boutique roasted fare trade beans we were granted the opportunity to make this exceptional brew.

Dark brownish-black pour with a medium tan head that recedes steadily. Small patches of lacing on the glass. Aroma of black coffee and malt. Medium to full body with flavors of roasted coffee, burnt malt and hops. The finish is roasty with a lingering bitter coffee and dark chocolate aftertaste. Solid Coffee Stout overall.

Bomber from Bine & Vine. Pours very dark brown with a 3 finger frothy/creamy dark tan head. Aromas of coffee, chocolate and burnt malt with a hint of ethanol. Full bodied. Flavor is smooth and silky chocolate, coffee and refined burnt malt. Just excellent. It’s bitter, and that could be from the malt. Heat? Not bothering me a bit. Finishes dry, and bitter.

Draught at Brü, Irvine. Opaque, black liquid with medium tan head. Aroma of licorice, roasted malt, coffee, dark chocolate, biscuit and pumpernickel. Taste is dry and light to medium bitter with roasted notes and some biscuit. Light to medum bodied with medium carbonation. A bit thin for an Imperial Stout. Reminds me a bit of one of my home brewed IS.

50cl bottle pours deep darkness with tall mocha colored head of foam. The aroma offers up notes of dark roasted malts, malt balls, baker’s chocolate and some coffee. The taste delivers dark roasted malts, coffee and those roasty notes are tempered by some yummy chocolate like notes. Overall the level of coffee is subdued and thus leaving room for the other tasty notes like chocolate and the dark roasted malts. Pretty nice stuff.

On tap at Blue Palms. Pours with a pitch black body and a tan head that fades. Aroma is strong coffee, nutty, chocolate, banana esters (light), earthy and rich. Flavor is big on coffee and richness. Notes of creamer and brown sugar. Big and creamy mouthfeel, well done!
