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

Poured into over sized brandy snifter.

Pours a 1/2 finger of tan head. Fades to a thick ring. Leaves some splattered lace. Color is a pitch black. Pretty solid.

Aroma: Huge roasted malt and bourbon flavors up front. Sweet vanilla and caramel. Rich espresso and coffee flavors. Awesome oak flavors. Some chocolate as well. Reminds me a lot of KBS. This is amazing.

Taste: Sweet vanilla and bourbon up front. Nice oak flavors. Rich espresso and coffee. The caramel and chocolate flavors are more subtle but add a nice layer to this beer. This beer reminds me so much of kbs. I would like to do a side by side.

Mouthfeel: Smooth, warming, and a bit creamy. Pretty full bodied, but not that thick and chewy. Medium amount of carbonation. Ends warm, bourbony, and slightly dry.

Overall, this is a solid beer and I am glad I have access to it. It reminds me so much of kbs. Doing a side by side would be awesome. This beer is very drinkable and 11 oz is not enough for me. This beer is legit. A must try.

From Craft Ale House - PA
S-poured from bomber bottles
A-Very dark, tan head, lacing
S-As it warms it goes from slight bitter coffee to a full, nice, fresh coffee smell
T-Base stout is there and creamy, but fresh coffee taste dominates once it warms up. Very good. Not bitter, not sweet, just all the qualities of a fresh cup of quality coffee. Very good and may be the best coffee I've had in terms of balance.
M-not as creamy as some other Goosse stout variations, but no complaints. Just about zero carbonation in mine.
O-Excellent coffee stout, top notch, seek it out!
