From Blind Bomber BIF (Thanks to Hophead101!):

A: Even a fairly aggressive pour results in a half-inch mocha head, which quickly fades to an off-white ring around the top of the beer. The beer itself is black, just black... no hints of other colors or any translucency. When aggrivated, some nice caramel colored carbonation appears and quickly disperses. Stouty! 4.0

S: Roasty sweetness at first, some light coffee flavor, a bit of chocolate as well. As it warms, some quad-like dark fruits creep into the nose. 3.5

T: Mostly roasted malt with a hint of chocolate and coffee. I'm not getting a taste of alcohol at all, but I'm guessing that's more due to lower ABV than anything. Finishes with a pretty pure fruity sweetness. 4.0

M: Not a very heavy drinking beer and has more carbination than I expected. Almost refreshing. 3.5

D: Goes down easier than an RIS... I'm guessing just a straight up, 6-8% stout. Enjoyable to drink. 4.0

Considering the mouthfeel and flavor profile, possibly some sort of Foreign Export?

I've actually had this once before, out of a 12oz bottle. I felt like the coffee was much more pronounced there, but the difference (older bomber, maybe) made for a really interesting beer. Quite enjoyable.

Hard pour from a 12 oz bottle after I gave it a little shake

A: Nice, blackish-brown color almost opaque with a creamy head that faded fairly quickly

S: Bittersweet chocolate, slightly earthy- the coffee scent is fairly subdued

T:Earthy, spicy, slightly bittersweet in between a chocolate stout and a milk stout

M: Very smooth, moderate carbonation, not to filling

O: Very good, The actual coffee taste was well balanced, not overly bitter
