12oz bottle from a nice guy on another site.

A: Pours a dark black color with a nice thick two finger mocha/khaki head that settled down to a rim of froth without lacing the glass.

S: Smell is rockin! Lots of dark and milk chocolate notes, along with a blast of fresh ground coffee that wavers between dark bitter black coffee scent and sweet coffee liqueur that comes from a little vanilla in there.

T: Definitely a taste bud explosion here. More intense flavor that most other coffee stouts I've had. Flavors consist of ground coffee/dark black bitter coffee, dark baker's chocolate, roasted malt, smokiness, some anise/black licorice...leaves a bitter coffee finish (the more I drink the less "intrusive" the intense flavor becomes, which I'm happy about) - I am starting to pick up some fruit flavors as it warms.

M: Very full bodied with a good amount of carbonation that makes this beer feel creamy and thick.

D: While the flavor is super intense at first and can seem intrusive, after drinking for a bit that settles down and make it a comfortable sipper. I was hoping for a sweeter beer, but this one is dark black and bitter for the most part. It's a good beer, just not what I was holding out hope for.

Pour is jet black with virtually no head. Nose is a bit artificial, artificial vanilla, overly sweet malt an sugar, and used coffee grounds. Taste is just as bad, overly sweet, under attenuated malt and coffee mess. Virtually no carb and extremely oily and slick feel.

Got this from Stormking47, cheers Joel!

Pours an effervescent mahogany with 2 fingers of mocha colored head. No lacing or head retention

S: Big time coffee & coffee grounds, fades as this warms

T: Dryness, much coffee & a bit of lactose up front. Nice mocha & cocoa flavors blend with straight up coffee & exrpesso as this warms. plus some more lactose sourness. Finishes dry with mocha & coffee grounds

MF: Smooth, some what creamy, medium bodied

A nice coffee stout, not upper rung, but right on the heels of them
