On tap at The Surly Goat in West Hollywood, CA.

Pours an opaque black with some crimson around the edges and a foamy dark khaki head that settles to a small cap on top of the beer. Foamy rings of lace line the glass on the drink down. Smell is of dark roasted malt, roasted coffee beans, and some slight cocoa aromas. Taste is much the same but there is a slight sourness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a lower level of carbonation with a slightly crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is a good beer with a better smell than taste in my opinion. However, the slight sourness I am getting in the taste is unexpected.

On Tap at Wade's Wines

A: Dark Dark brown, almost black with a nice tan head that stuck around for most of the time.

S: This beer smells like a fresh roasted cup of black coffee with maybe a little nuttiness.

T: Very similiar to the smell. Very smooth beer with a big coffee flavor. As this beer warms up it has a nice chocolately finish with little to no bitter.

M: Low to high carbonation with a creamy consistent stout feel.

Overall: Not a bad coffee stout - very drinkable. This beer could be really good if aged in some bourbon or whiskey barrels for a couple years.
