Deep dark brown coloured body with a thinnish, fairly fast-dying tan head and a relatively deep opacity - around 80% when held to a light. Aroma of roasted malt, light anise and licorice and a good deal of deep brewed coffee - fairly bitter, but mainly expected. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong roasted notes that show the roasted coffee more than the roasted malts, but some pitted fruits and raisin sweetness right behind with a good deal of malt, grain, yeast, bread and earthy nuts afterwards that all have a lot of flavour and leave the palate relatively pungent and bitter, in a good way. Aftertaste shows the bitterness from the coffee and roasted malt up front, with a lot of nuts, earth, grain and especially the pitted fruit and sweetness that all have a bit of a thinness towards the end that make this feel almost more of a porter than a sweet stout. Overall, a nice and rich beer that hit the right notes, but just not hard enough for the style - again, this is a touch watery and showing on a Porter side of the spectrum versus a 'real' stout. I sampled this stubby twelve ounce bottle purchased from Whole Foods in Fairfield, Connecticut on 22-December-2019 for US$1,99 sampled at home in Washington on 28-January-2020.

Bottle in a trade with tfontana, thanks Tom. Aroma is mild chocolate, coffee, soft caramel. Flavor is nice reflection of the aroma. Right on par for the style. As it should be.

Pours black with a luscious head. Heavy cocoa notes for the aroma. Taste is lightly malty with dark roasted notes. Heavy coffee notes on the palate. Great stout.

On tap at Thimble Island, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out earthy coffee notes, with a dry toasted biscuity malt base. Flavour is along the same lines, with earthy coffee, toasted biscuity malt and light roast. Dry and toasty. Good stuff.

Bottle shared by Kelly and Paul, thanks for the opportunity! Deep dark brown color with a small off white head. Rich coffee and light roasty chocolate maltiness. Creamy mouthfeel. Pretty respectable coffee brew.

At the spirce: dark brown with a creamy head. Aroma is coffee and chocolare and roast. Taste is coffee but not intesely so. Mostly just roasty stout flavors. Good enough.

12oz bottle pours a hazy dark brown with some creamy, beige head. Nose is soft, brown sugar, nougat, bread crust, yeast. Flavor of malt, light smoke, some brown sugar, bread. Dry finish. Where is that coffee?

From a 500 ml bottle shared at the January 9, 2016 Beer tasting. Pours a murky amber color with a slight head. The aroma is Coffee and the taste is of chocolate and coffee . Sweet finish.

From a 500 ml bottle shared at the 2016 Nuplastik is back tasting. Pours a clear cola with an ecru head. Coffee nose. Flavors of chocolale and leather. Sweet finish.

Bottle. Crystal clear brown color. Aroma of coffee grounds. Taste is toasted brownies dipped in espresso. Light body.
