A coffee lover's delight! A wonderful stout infused with coffee that is specially roasted for us by Emy J's in Stevens Point, WI.

I have both the 22oz and the 12oz. This review is based on the 12oz.
Pours a deep, cola-like brown with a thin, off-white head.
Smells like milk chocolate with a shot of espresso. Plenty of roasty malts sets this up to be one of the best coffee stouts so far! I'm not familiar with Emy J's coffee, but methinks I should check it out after I'm done with the beer.
This tastes on point! Roasted coffee grounds and sweet chocolate. Perfectly carbonated and I can only imagine how amazing it would be to wake up this every morning.
In the end, it's a coffee stout, so there's not much in the way of uniqueness. It's all so wonderfully executed and delivers on what it says it is. Central Waters stouts are all worthy of your attention.

This is a black, oily-looking brew with a diminutive tan head. Wonderful toasted grain aromas in the nose. Dark-roasted coffee and bittersweet chocolate flavors dominate the palate. Creamy in texture. I look forward to having it again.

Pours a clear dark brown with a massive tan head that leaves nice lacing as it falls away. Aroma is fresh roasted coffee. Flavor is coffee forward, with dark roasted malt. Feel is medium bodied with ample carbonation. Overall, this is delicious. Enuf said.

12oz can into a pint glass. Canned 11/2/20, so 2 years old.
Looks decent enough. Darkest brown body, small white head shrinks to a ring. No lacing. Some tiny dark floaties.
Nice smooth coffee aroma.
On tasting, the coffee flavor is still excellent after 2 years. Smooth, rich, warming. No roast at all.
Mouth between medium and full, finish coffee and some warming.
Overall, glad to have risked this one, coffee has either not faded much, or was phenomenal fresh. Kinda one dimensional, but a dimension I'm happy to be in right now.

Closing out the last days of winter with this tasty coffee stout. Hits on all points, nice cold brew coffee influence, delicious taste and smell, and abv well hidden. Killer deal at $10 for 6.

Clear cola color, the scent is boozy and distant, lots of coffee bean. Taste is so good, I'm not even a huge fan of these coffee stouts, but this is just done damn well. The hops and the dark grains and the coffee all meld into one flavor, I wasted one of these on a roast and regret it. World-class

Coffee coffee coffee. This is a load of coffee in a beer. Not to thick. Can’t taste alcohol.
Pretty delicious for $10 a six pack

Brewhouse Coffee Stout pours an almost black color, with not much head. Aroma is fresh cold press coffee. Flavor is a nice rich sweet malty stout, with fresh cold press coffee flavors mixed in. Good body and feel. Overall, very good coffee stout, flavors blend great.
