look: 4.5 | smell: 5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.5

Poured this at about 60 degrees the carbonation was big. The head was huge and it took a few pours even carefully to get this one in the glass. The head stays around a little while, leaving a good sticky lacing behind when it does fall. The color of the head is brown and the color is black and you can't see through it at all. The smell is sweet sweet coffee with a slight chocolate background. The taste isn't as chocolaty as I remember and the mouthfeel isn't as thick either, but it could be all of the release of carbon dioxide. The taste is very good chocolate sweet and bitter and a great coffee flavor. Mouthfeel is still smooth, but just not as thick as usual. Overall this is good and I would have another, but I hope to God I get some of the new batch that just came out.

4.38/5  rDev -3.1%
look: 4.25 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 4.75 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.25

Poured into a beer mug at a little colder than room temperature.

Appearance: Pours to a one finger (poured gently) deep mocha brown head; pitch black body.

Smell: Smells very malty with definite notes of cocoa, oatmeal, and brewed coffee.

Taste: Tastes strongly of coffee upfron subsiding to a chocolately finish. Oatmeal toward the end, maybe even a touch of molasses; very satisfying for sure.

Mouthfeel: Thick, smooth, and creamy. Truly great; lightly carbonated.

Overall: an outstanding stout. One of my new favorites, this is a must-try for dark beer lovers.
