Had this beer from the brewery on tap (in 4 oz cups), and took home 2 growlers.

Wonderful beer. Both my wife's and my favorite. Kudos to Annette and Nicole for brewing such a great beer.

Appearance:
Nice brown stout, with a small white head.

Smell:
Not just a coffee aroma, but smells like a very good coffee aroma. Like something from Starbucks, like a french roast. Also smells sweet, but doesn't really taste sweet.

Taste:
"Very smooth" ... my wife's comments. Can notice the coffee notes, but the other flavors are nicely blended. Looking for notes of oatmeal, and burnt flavors, but not overly noticeale. Perhaps a slight nutty aftertaste, but very fleeting. Excellent Beer.

Mouthfeel:
Perfect. Perfect amount of carbonation (very little for stout).

Overall: Very enjoyable beer. Close to one of my best/favorite beers ever. Can either drink stand alone, or works with any food. Had it with a buffalo chicken calzone (stood up to a spicy dish) or to a more mild spaghetti.

Surprised that I am the first to submit this beer to Beer Advocate. Hoping that others will review this beer, so that Annette and Nicole will brew this beer again in the future.

Serving type: on-tap
