Ink black color. Descent head for the style but relatively poor retention. Also, no lacing on the glass.

Rich aroma of dark fruits, molasses, cooked corn and mild coffee.

Complex and interesting flavor. Starts and finishes with a malty sweetness suggestive of maple syrup. Subtle coffee notes creep in mid way along with some dark chocolate. Dark fruits, including prunes and black currants, attempt to balance the roasted malts and pine-like hop bitterness.

Thick, nearly syrupy body. Moderate carbonation. Sticky texture in the finish.

For an imperial stout its not bad. For a coffee stout, it is average at best. If it were not labeled a coffee stout, I would not have known the difference. They really didn't incorporate much coffee into this at all. Only other complaint is that the body is a bit too syrupy. Other than that, its descent.
