look: 3 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4

Appearance pours a very dark brown having a easily dissipating head leaving nil lace. Smell of roasted malt/coffee, chocolate and creamer. Taste of the coffee, maybe more of chocolate covered coffee beans, roasted malt with light caramel and dark fruits. Mouthfeel is medium with good carbonation. It has a nice flavor of coffee thats enjoyable for coffee lovers that has a little alchohol involved.

12 oz bottle into Deschutes tulip snifter

A - Not much head, retention, or lacing - but some. Beer is a very dark brown/ruby with bits of khaki foam.

S - Slighty burnt coffee grind character, bits of sweet dark malt. Nothing that offensive, really, but not much to write about.

T - The coffee flavor is dominant, but it has that same kind of wet coffee grind character. Tastes a lot like carbonated coffee, but not particularly good coffee.

M - Not as oily as I'd like, but not bad. Carbonation is a little off - closer to a cola than an American Stout. It's ok.

O - Drinkable but not impressive. Concept is ok, but they need a better coffee component if they do it again. As is... Next, please!
