Notes:
"A brew uniquely different from most coffee stouts, we cram Higher Grounds roasted fair trade espresso beans into every facet of the brewing process. Prominent aromatics of malt, espresso, and cocoa are abundant and create a flavor robust with big malt characters fused with cream and coffee. The perfect morning night capper."

Very fresh bottle from Michigan, latest seasonal release. Pours black with tons of foam. Coffee in aroma, in the taste, with lots of creme. The bottle surprised me by saying there was milk lactose. Tastes more bitter than 30 ibu would have you believe.Above average mouthfeel.

Simply stated this is what all coffee beers aspire to be. This is the end all be all to coffee beers. Served chilled and poured into a pint glass, this one was consumed on 1/22/2010.
The pour is beautiful and elegant, perfect. Dark as night with a huge black body and a color that is inpervious to light. A huge two inch head of tan then rises up from the bottom of the glass to reach a height of nearly three inches before settling down to a one inch head that stays on top throughout the rest of the session. Aroma is sweet, rich coffee and milk, tons of sweet sugary notes, it really is as the bottle states, exactly what I make for myself in the morning. Sweet light roasted coffee and creme, mixed with subtle sugar flavors. There is not other beer that nails the coffee flavor better then this. It is simply sublime. Rich body, smooth and subtle carbonation and a slightly dry and bitter finish. There is hardly a beer out there I would rather have at any point then this.

Huuuge thanks to calsbeek for sending me a sixer of these. I cracked one open yesterday to share with some friends and we were all quite impressed.
A: The pour is black with a nice fluffy mocha colored head. Not much lacing, but what can ya do?
S: This beer makes it's presence known. I could smell the coffee as soon as I opened up the bottle. There is a very slight hint of chocolate and roasted malt, but the coffee really steals the show.
T: Once again, the coffee takes center stage. However, the taste has a bit more going on than the nose. There is a very pleasant sweet, cream taste (probably lactose) which adds just an amazing compliment to the coffee. Dark chocolate and roasted malt also make appearances, but again, the coffee is the star.
M: The body is a bit on the thin side, perhaps, but it doesn't ruin the beer at all. Still a medium bodied beer with a fairly creamy and smooth mouthfeel.
D: I've had several coffee beers and this is easily the best. Great aroma and flavor and a pretty easy drinker too, even at 8% ABV.

A: Pours very dark with a nice tan-colored head and a tiny amount of lacing as it goes down.
S: Lots of coffee up front here. A little bit of chocolate and alcohol, but straight-up black coffee is definitely what dominates.
T: Coffee and darker chocolate along with a little bit of roasted-malt sweetness. A bit of extra sugar and hints of vanilla.
M: Fairly full-bodied, quite creamy, and not too much carbonation.
D: Quite drinkable. Not the best coffee beer that I've had, but definitely a very worthy one.

Appearance: Pours out an odyssey of darkness from the growler, almost pitch black; a big dark tan head forms atop and retains fairly well, particularly given the transit to NC from MI
Smell: Strong, roasty double espresso aroma with a hint of sugar and cream
Taste: Opens with a rich, roasty black coffee character that is followed by the mellowing sugar and cream tones; by mid-palate, the fruity bitter elements arrive; after the swallow some smoke factors into the flavor profile as well
Mouthfeel: Medium to full body; moderate carbonation, but somewhat creamy
Drinkability: Clearly one of the top coffee beers out there; a shame it doesn't make it into the bottle
Thanks, hoppymeal, for the unexpected treat

Served in a Half Acre shaker pint glass.
Thanks to KJGAGNE for this bottle!
I'm not a fan of people who misuse an "a" for an "o'", but hopefully the beer still tastes good. It pours a straight black-brown topped by a finger or so of light tan foam. The nose comprises coffee (and lots of it, son!), light cocoa, roasted malts, and brown sugar. The taste does not feel brave enough to deviate from this plan of attack. Some buttercream finds its way in there as well. In the finish, though, there is a definite feeling of acrid coffee, which VDubb helps me to understand as the aftertaste one would encounter in a bad cup o' coffee. The body is a competent medium, with a light carbonation and a smooth feel. Overall, a pretty nice stout, but that acrid aftertaste leaves something to be desired.

Bottle thrown my way by the Thorpe!
Beer is black with almost no head, no lacing, low carbonation, looks like flat beer.
Aroma is coffee...and lots of it.
Beer is medium to light in body and tastes like iced coffee. It's a little rough on the finish...but the lead off is nice and sweet, heavily bitter on the finish, very heavy. It's all roast and coffee. I enjoyed it but it's quite in your face with the coffee. It's a pretty good beer, grading on a curve with Short's one of their betters.

Thanks to tastetester for sending this bottle.
Pours black with a light brown head. The aroma is strong coffee with some light smoke. The flavor is strong coffee with some cream, about what you expect after reading the label. Good bitterness and some roasted malt and chocolate. Medium-thick, semi-creamy mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

Thanks to rclnmeyer for picking up a growler of this (and many other Short's goodies). Served in my trusty Surly pint glass.
A - A hard pour made a a thin dark tan head that dissipates to a nice cap with a millimeter of foam around the edge. Midnight black - not even lighter at the edges.
S - Sweet malts, roast coffee & cream, dark chocolate, hazelnut. This is probably the most convincing coffee smell I've smelled from a beer. Really strong and intense.
T - Roasted malt, coffee, dark chocolate, molasses, and some light floral hoppiness at the back end. The taste is a tiny bit more bitter and smokey than the smell, but it's a light hint that adds richness instead of getting fatiguing. This is definitely on par with the best of the coffee beers I've tried. The aftertaste is surprisingly mild. Not discernible alcohol
M - Wonderfully creamy and full-bodied, with a mild amount of carbonation that tingles my upper lip.There's some residual stickiness that kind of coats my teeth.This is exactly the right texture for a brew like this one.
D - This is probably the most drinkable coffee stout I've ever encountered. The glass disappeared before I even finished the review. Well I'm sure the ABV and coffee flavor would catch up to me I don't mind all that much. This growler will go fast.

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

A solid pour into my 25cl tulip glass produces a four-finger thick, richly brown colored head. The beer is an almost perfectly black color and remains opaque even when held up directly to the light. As I pour this beer the aroma of deeply roasted, almost acrid roast coffee is noticeable. A more focused inspection of the nose yields some weird aromatic combinations. Coffee definitely plays a big role here, but there seems to be a burnt vegetal edge to it. Underneath this is some dark chocolate character with a touch of sweetness to it. Roasted coffee joins roasted / toasted grain and there is even a hint of cherry character bound up in these roast notes. A touch too acrid and burnt-vegetal like, but actually the nose isn't really that bad.
Lightly sweet up front and this beer has a definite body to it from the lactose sugar, but the beer also finishes with a big tartness that I at first thought might have been contributed by the burnt grain and coffee, but it is too much and is in fact lactic in character. Unfortunately another infected brew from Short's, again it sort of works here somehow. I won't have any trouble finishing my bottle of this infected brew. The lactic acid blends pretty harmoniously with the lactose and the big roasted coffee and grain character found here. Both the roast character and the lactic acid compete with the lactose sweetness, such that the beer almost comes off as being dry. Somehow the infection has added flavors of cherries to this beer as well.
This is another clearly infected brew that works better than it actually should. Again, if you are open to the experience then give it a go, but if you are looking for a Coffee Crème Stout then look else-where.

Thanks to Telix and Heliosphann for this bottle in recent trades.
A: The stout is midnight black on a moonless night, black as oil with a dark tan head atop it. The head, threatening to overflow the glass, never quite musters up the strength and quickly retreats.
S: Stout and cream start off strong, roasted malts and smooth lactic sweetness. Java, freshly ground and roasted, lies just below the initial wave, a full coffee presence that smells like my french press.
T: Roasted coffee and malts, a fortified stout, jumps out initially. Plenty of cream follows in the heals of the stout. You'd think that oatmeal was added, what with the smoothness of the body. Coffee, while present, has been muted a bit. That allows the stout to assert itself a little more. An acrid bitterness, roasted (vs. hoppy) establishes itself at the end of a sip before allowing the cream to smooth things over.
M: The mouthfeel comes and goes, at times creamy and at times roasted. Coffee isn't as stand-out as the growler that I had over a year ago.
D: The first bottle was a drainpour. The second one was much better. Much more of a cream stout than a coffee stout.

This isn't really doing it for me. Comes off a bit too bitter and somewhat tangy with a flavor ride that doesn't last that long. Or not long enough, imo. Body is nice. Still an okay beer, especially after it warms up a bit. Maybe I've had too many coffee beers until now and I have certain expectations.

Thanks goes out to injuredreserve for this brew.
Pours a nice black color, some carbonation, fizzy little tan head, with very minimal sticky lacing left behind. The nose is very nice, malty, with lot's of chocolate, coffee, and caramel. The taste is nice, sweet, malty, with loads of coffee/chocolate notes, and caramel. Medium body. Drinkable, I was expecting alot more from this brew with all the hype a year or two ago.

Thanks a lot to grub for one of the great interesting Short's.
Pours a super dark oily rich pitch black beer, with very light fizzy head that disappears quickly, but normal for the style.
Nose brings tons of fresh roasted coffee beans, fresh brewed coffee, roasted barley, chocolate malt, creamy milk chocolate and baker's chocolate, some bitterness from the roasted malts.
Taste starts with coffee again, but this time brings a bit of a acrid coffee grind flavor, some fresh coffee as well, roasted malts, plenty of bitterness from the roast, a slight sweetness hiding the booze well, some light creamy chocolate, the coffee keeps going and gets a bit of a rotten coffee grind flavor, but still adding a nice coffee taste as well, espresso and a creamy lactose. Finishes drier with a slight rye like taste (huh?), yeah some rye, weird, lingering sweeter malts, dark malts, roast, and plenty of coffee, but the bad acrid coffee taste is gone luckily.
Mouth is fairly heavy bodied, very creamy, not really a booze hit which is nice, and decent carbonation for the style at least.
Overall, not bad, the nose was great, but the acrid rotting coffee grind taste took away a bit. It's a pretty good beer, a slow sipper, but pretty good.

Poured from a 12 oz. bottle into a pint glass.
a - Pours a very dark brown color with lots of head that last for several minutes and moderate carbonation evident. Took me a few minutes to pour.
s - Smells of coffee, roasted malts, cream, vanilla, and chocolate. Hint of dark fruits. Very enjoyable.
t - Tastes of light coffee, cream, roasted malts, vanilla, toasted malts, and bitter chocolate. Much more bitter than I was expecting.
m - Medium body and low carbonation. Very smooth and easy to drink.
d - I thought this was a very good stout. I loved the smell and was very happy to find it wasn't just dominated by coffee; it was very balanced. I wish the taste had been a little sweeter as opposed to bitter, but it was still very enjoyable. Would love to have again.

Growler into a over sized Duvel tulip glass. BIG thanks to Deuane for picking this up for my coffee beer lov'n ass from a recent trip out to Short's.
This pours an absolute dense black with a finger or so of creamy burnt mocha colored head. The retention on this is just fabulous, with a fantastic flareup when swirled, leaving a massive cascade of lace and brown oily residues all down the sides of the glass. The aroma is Wow! To say that this smells dark roasted is an overstatement! Burnt and blackened roasted coffee and espresso just dominates the aroma. I think that I'm getting a caffeine buzz just smelling this stuff! Underneath lies another layer of burnt smelling coffee ground acrid character that starts to get a little sour but never quite makes it, as well as another layer of sweetness that helps keep the aroma in check.
The taste is an intense, roasted, coffee experience up front, with a bitterness that lingers long and loud on the palette. Much like the aroma, I'm also finding a chewy mix of chocolate and caramel underneath that's perfectly balances out the back, along with some additional light acrid notes that flesh out the finish. Man, the coffee notes in this just stick in the mouth with a dry lingering bitterness that definitely tides you over until the next sip. The mouthfeel is full bodied with a sharp and prickly carbonation up front that then spreads out into a smooth and creamier feel. And this stuff is 8%? You have to be kidding me?!!! The only sense of alcohol I'm getting is the subtle fogginess that's slowly creeping it's way over my brain as I work through the growler, which gets this a rare 5 in the drinkibility department. Awesome!
I've been fortunate to engage my lips with a lot of great coffee beers this year and this one is right up there at the top. This is just INTENSE with coffee character and the magnificently hidden ABV guarantees that you'll get buzzed in more ways than one from this stuff! A fantastic brew from Short's!

Pint on tap at HopCat in Grand Rapids.
Pours a deep and dark opaque black, although some red shows up in the edges, very thick brown head forms, really tight lacing all over the glass, drops in sheets and settles down to a thick layer, great retention. Smell is really nice, lots of coffee, dark roast, toffee, creamy lactic sugary middle, more espresso, chocolate, oatmeal, very rich aroma. Taste is similar, lots of coffee and roast up front, chocolate, toffee, sweet lactic latte middle, touch of alcohol, some dark fruit, more espresso and chocolate in the finish, very rich, nice roasty bitterness. Mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with low carbonation, super smooth and drinkable. Very nice coffee beer, nice and creamy, the roastiness is perfect. Really enjoyed this one.

Big thanks to Jeff for busting this out at our tasting.
Pours a deep dark pitch black color with a frothy 1.5 finger light beige creamy head with excellent retention, only slowly fading into a lasting ring. Sporadic spots of of soapy lacing left behind.
Deep roasted silky chocolate malty aroma with hints of toffee roasted coffee bean, caramel, toffee, and subtle hops. The roasted notes are not overpowering allowing the chocolate mocha note to shone through.
Very roarty up front with a slightly viscous medium body. Lots of bittersweet dark chocolate and bitter earth hops. Strong bitter roster espresso bean flavor with chewy chocolate malts, earthy hops, toffee and burnt toast/coffee notes. The roasted flavor is a bit overpowering, taking away from the silky chocolate notes but overall this beer is decently balanced. The strong roaster character makes it slightly less quaffable and a touch harsh but I'm still putting this one down pretty quickly.

Was able to sample this thanks to the ever generous Dyan.
The beer pours a dark black color with very good head retention and lacing. On the nose I get a huge blast of coffee grounds, chocolate vanilla, and maybe a hint of licorice and tar. On the palate this beer is just delicious. The beer offers up a huge, creamy, rich flavor profile of coffee and chocolate, with maybe some cherry vanilla in the finish. The creamy mouthfeel aside, this beer is amazingly drinkable and light on its feet. It's incredible how well disguised the alcohol is, and how outrageously easy to drink it is. Wow. Yummy. This beer is so smooth and easy to drink it's nothing short of amazing. Impressive.

Black with a faint red/brown edge and a thin, dark tan cap. Spotty lacing, great head retention. Rich aroma, lots of coffee, roast and toffee, dark chocolate. Solid bitterness, but this didn't get in the way of the sweet malts. Lots of dark, bittersweet, and milk chocolate, roasty with a bit of coffee, toffee sweetness, and a hint of grassy hops. Full bodied with lowish carbonation, very smooth, creamy and luxurious. Quite delicious, great balance and very rich.

Growler opened by a generous Carlos (seaoflament) on 12/18/2009 and poured into a snifter. The beer is black with the faintest trace of dark brown when held to the sunlight. For a 14 day old growler, the soft pour by Carlos yielded a quite generous creamy light brown head of 1.5 inch stature. Retention is good, and scattered lacing is left behind.
The nose is as advertised: coffee and cream. The coffee seems to be high quality, and there's a nutty character in the background that is undeniable. Almonds...perhaps with a light toast? The coffee is black with very little astringency. There's a whisper of dark chocolate and a dash of vanilla. It's mostly coffee and cream against a backdrop of almonds.
The characteristics in the aroma translate nicely to the flavor. It tastes like espresso with cream added. The almond quality is present here, as well. I can't taste the alcohol, but I do feel a warming sensation. A light bitterness is noticeable, and there's a very light astringency in the smooth finish. The beer is rich midpalate, but it finishes dry with lingering coffee, cream, and almonds.
The mouthfeel is excellent. It's smooth, creamy, full, and surprisingly light on the tongue. Carbonation is at a moderate level. The growler held up really well.
All told, this if this was heated up and served to me in a coffee mug in the morning I would think it was a delicious coffee with cream. The alcohol is so faint it's almost unnoticeable. It's not a beer that I could drink in quantity (one snifter was more than enough), but it was delicious.

Bottle care of mothman, thanks Ben I have been wanting to try this one for quite awhile.
Poured into a SA sensory glass this brew appears pitch black with a ruby coloring around the border. The head swells up fast despite a careful pour presenting more than 2 and a half fingers of darkly tanned head. As the foam settles to less than a finger of fluff, it sticks around the glass in patchy legs and retains well.
The nose of this brew includes a bunch of sweet chocolate and coffee that is very very pleasing straight out the gate. At times the nose comes across with a bit of a musty and earthy scent very similar to other brews with a coffee addition. In the background there is some sweetness of lactose and a bit of a sour twinge. I heard of infections with this brew...perhaps this one is tainted as well?
Taking a sip there is the dark grain character reminescent of coffee, chocolate and a very sharp level of acidity that is quite tangy but also sweet. This is either a crazy overboard mixture of proportions of lactose, citrus hops and sourmashing techniques/blending or something has gone a-rye with this brew. The dark grain flavors linger in the mouth with a very earthy and musty character as indicated by the nose. This brew would be seriously delicious without that sharp acidic tanginess. Through the back of the throat, the 8% alcohol is evident.
This is a medium to light bodied brew with a higher than anticipated level of carbonation. The level of tartness is very out of place for the style and I cannot finish the glass. I really want to get my hands on another one of these incase this particular sample was infected. From the initial aroma and the flavor (looking past the tartness) this could be a fantastic brew. I will seek out another sample and edit this review accordingly.

Poured into Bruery snifter.
Pours a finger of mocha tan head. Very good retention leaving slight splattered lace. Color is black. I am being a little generous here.
Aroma: Lots of espresso, coffee, and chocolate. I get a lot of nut (peanuts mainly, but in that sour way. this may have something to do with the infection issues but I can't tell) flavors with caramel. A lot of milk chocolate. Very nice smelling beer, with that exception of the note above.
Taste: There is a ton of coffee flavors, but again, tons of roasted nuts (peanuts that are sour again.). Reminds me of the uber goober (which I thought seemed sour), just bigger. Also, there is a ton of milk chocolate. A big roasted malt beer, but the coffee keeps this beer fresh.
Mouthfeel: Creamy, but very bubbly. Tons of carbonation with a medium to full bodied. Ends very roasted and dry.
Overall, I am pretty impressed with this coffee stout. The only part that I didn't enjoy very much was the mouthfeel and the apparent sourness. A nice aroma with a solid taste, but so many peanuts. I dig it though.

Thanks to afdempse for sharing this great beer.
A: Deep black, beige head, big lacing
S: Coffee! Seriously...If you can get past the intense aromas of fresh roasting coffee, you may find some roasted malt scents.
T: Again, roasted coffee. Fresh and delicious. What this beer lacks in complexity it makes up for by being simply delicious. You must love coffee to thoroughly enjoy this beer.
M: Somewhat thin feel, great crisp carbonation.
