440ml can. Pitch black with a tan head. Aroma of coffee and dark chocolate, molasses. Taste is very sweet, dark chocolate, coffee, caramel, molasses, some bitterness but really it's far sweeter than I ever imagined a coffee stout could be, some warming booze too. Full bodied. Very nice but that sweetness stops it being truly great.

Can at home, picked up in Tilt Bingohame, 11/09/24. Pitch black topped with a big old dirty tan head that dissipates to a swirl in time. Nose is molasses, brown sugar melt, liquorice, coffee bean, burnt toffee. Taste comprises chocolate, light spice, mellow coffee grinds, molasses, brown sugar melt. Full bodied, oily viscous feel, semi drying close with a rising kiss of alcohol. Fun enough impy but runs a touch overly sweet and I'd expected more coffee. Not the best series all round this year.

Can from the brewery online shop. Pours jet black with a dark brown head. Strong coffee and dark chocolate aromas. Taste is more of the same. Roasty but sweet finish.

Black beer, thick tan head. Big, boozy coffee aroma. The flavour has.... my goodness it's a delicious coffee blend. There's sweetness, bitterness, a big roasted quality and just enough alcohol burn to counter the coffee and lend it some warmth. Loads of malt in here too, all if which lingers into a beautifully balanced finish and a rich, warming body. Delicious, and the best of this year's Project Barista.
