Another thanks to Lerxst!

Pours nearly black, very dark brown like black coffee with a small espresso creme head that fades quickly. Leaves traces of lacing but eventually disappears entirely

Dark chocolate and coffee dominate the aroma. Dark fruits and a good amount of char. Chocolate comes out the most as it warms with just a hint of alcohol warmth.

The taste begins with dark fruits, mostly raisins and is quickly rounded off with dark roasty malts, coffee and chocolate. Subtle citrus and bitterness from hops.

Significant carbonation but on top of a full body. Finish is long and sticky.

Lots of flavor and body with little of the ABV detectable. It does feel a bit bigger than 8% from the amount of roastiness in the flavor and a pretty full body.

a: dark black, lets just the smallest amount of light through. dark tan 2 finger head that fades quick

s: its 2013, i'm drinking the 2012 vintage. pungent coffee beans punch you in the face...almost like spicy. dark chocolate, roasted malt, and a milky sweetness

t: i think the age may have mellowed out the coffee a bit (i've never had a fresh one). still...wow thats smooth! roasted coffee beans mixed with dark chocolate and oat. sweet dark berries, and a nice creaminess, probably due to the oats. there is a slight bitterness, but i can't tell if it comes from the roasted bean flavor or any kind of hop presence. there is a slight bit of coconut on the backend. you don't taste any alcohol, but you feel a slight tingle in the mouth

m: on the lighter side of full. it coats your mouth and hangs around for a while

o: keep in mind that this is a year old bottle. still a nice coffee stout (i do love coffee stouts). i want to get my hands on a fresher bottle, because i want to see if it makes a difference in the intensity of coffee flavor. its still really smooth, but i'd take FBS over this if it was between the two
