11.5oz. bottle into darkness tulip

A. Pours a black coffe color with 2 finger tan head that fades rather quickly to leave just a hint of foam around the outer ring.

S. Roasted malts and banana sweetness, yes definitely picking up banana here and vanilla and slight coffee

T. Initial taste was smooth nothingness followed by rich dry roasted flavor and Bitter-sweet coffee, alcohol does not show until the very end.

M. Rich, but a high bubbly carbonation makes this seem lighter then it is.

O. Pretty solid coffee stout, a lot more complex then most but not as easy to come by and on the more expensive side.

12oz bottle into tulip.

Inky, oily, black pour. Half finger creamy tan head. Lacing is excellent.

Obviously coffee right up front, with some chocolate and vanilla with a touch of brown sugar and licorice. Some molasses with burnt toast and some figs.

Massive amounts of coffee, bittersweet chocolate with a touch of smoke and vanilla. Molasses with some licorice.

Creamy medium body, low carbonation, Slightly syrupy. Sticky on the lips.

This beer is truly part of the top echelon of beers for a reason. I've had this many times and it never ceases to amaze.
