UPDATED: NOV 16, 2021 Pours black with thick tan head. Flavor is coffee, roasted malt, and chocolate. Has an unexpected bitterness in the finish, which creates a very nice contrast with the full body. Really, the only thing it lacks for me is a good aroma.

UPDATED: OCT 1, 2021 Can, courtesy of mansquito. Pours black. Coffee, roast, chocolate, creamy, red fruit, hint of campfire, little liquorice. Good full body. Excellent.

UPDATED: AUG 19, 2021 Pours a dark, brown-black, with mid-sized tan head. Aroma is coffee and roasted malt. Flavor is coffee, roasted grain and malt. Bitter touch to the finish. Smooth mouthfeel.

UPDATED: JUL 1, 2021 Served up at the source in VT with NEBT crew. Large stemmed snifter glass. Beautiful outside patio spot. Pours a coffee black appearance. Nose is assertively coffee with plenty of roasty malt notes and maybe a hint of peat and smokiness. Taste leans heavily into the coffee characteristics with an impressive roasty quality and almost a dark fruit presence. Bitterness is primary but not overly done. One of my favorite coffee forward stouts. Delicious and worth the drive to get here.

UPDATED: JUL 1, 2021 Tap at brewery with commonmac and highendtully and rosskyle during NEBT. Black with tan head. Big coffee nose. Rich coffee roasty, lots of malt. Full body. Very great.
