4.38/5 rDev -0.7%
look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5

Looks: thick. Pours from the bottle an unbelievably dark brown. A tiny, tight khaki head recedes quickly to a ring plus film, leaving sticky lattice-like lacing.

Smells: smoked. I know this was brewed with coffee, but if I didn't, I'd be inclined to call this a rauchbier. Aromas of charcoal, dark chocolate, burnt wood, bacon, sweet cotton candy and bitter espresso are all there, and in that order of descending prominence.

Tastes: like a chocolate-covered coffee bean. Smoky bacon, sweet cotton candy, earthy hops and dark chocolate all reveal themselves first. Waves of coffee eventually hit at the back of the mouth, but way after the swallow. Once it's there, however, it doesn't leave for quite a while. A nice, enduring aftertaste. As the beer warms, the espresso-like flavors emerge more and more. Fantastic.

Feels: nicely medium-full bodied, yet still liquid and not too thick. Almost creamy. The carbonation is muted, light, and lovely.

Drinks: Already a big fan of coffee stouts, my mind was again bent at what this beer did with the caffeinated ingredient. One of the best.

4.29/5 rDev -2.7%
look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.25

Poured black as night, it was served with a collared khaki head of thick foam and had nice lacing.

The scent is nicely varied with chocolate malt, caramel, marshmallow, light espresso and overtures of roasted coffee.

The taste is more coffee-centric, with a strong roast and char presence. Bits of dry chocolate are there but very little sweetness. The beer is smooth, with no visible alcohol presence. Very good flavor, great scent, very good beer.

Serving type: on-tap
