UPDATED: DEC 17, 2021 500ml bottle from Batesville Liquor in Batesville, IN. Date was 2 1/2 months ago. Dark brown pour. Aroma has roast & sweet malts, with some sugar and lactose. Taste is of sweet and roasted malts, leaning caramelly more than coffee-flavored. Quite dry. Somewhat disappointing for one labeled as a 'coffee stout', and from these guys. 13.4

UPDATED: NOV 30, 2021 Pours opaque coffee with a thick and persistent tan head. Aroma presents quality coffee, rich chocolate, smoky roast malt, a toffee hint. Flavor provides quality coffee, chocolate, smoky, roasty, earthy notes with a toffee touch. Texture features decent body and peppy fizz. Fall into a good coffee stout.

UPDATED: NOV 28, 2021 Pours an oily black with a thick creme head. Aroma of booze, toasted malt, nutty caramel. Taste has coffee, caramel, toffee. Palate has lingering burnt malt, toasted nuts. Excellent.

UPDATED: NOV 12, 2021 16oz bottle. Great looking Stout. Beige head, fluffy and steady. Really nice base beer. The coffee is there, but isn't that flavorful. Excellent, clean, well executed beer.

UPDATED: NOV 10, 2021 Black pour with a tan head. Roasted malt aroma with a strong coffee bean note on the the nose followed by chocolate, coffee, and berries on the tongue. Mildly bitter. Tasty.

UPDATED: NOV 5, 2021 Right on target, if target is a delightful stout without an overdone ABV from a great brewery like Maine..:. Terrific on tap at thirsty beaver in Smithfield RI.

UPDATED: NOV 2, 2021 500 mL bottle. Black and a little murky. Smells of roasted malt, coffee, light grapefruit hops. Tastes of coffee and roasted malt in equal proportion. Coffee is pleasantly roasty with the slightest hint of acidity. Roasted malt and a tinge of sweetness. Grapefruit hops in the finish.. Medium light. First bottle I had was perfect with zero coffee acidity. This one has a tinge. But it's otherwise perfect.

UPDATED: OCT 24, 2021 On tap at Draught Industries. Pours black. Coffee, earthy, fruity, milk chocolate. Medium body. Good.

UPDATED: OCT 11, 2021 Draught at Canary Square, 10/6/21. Dark mahogany colored body with untested clarity. Small, beige head shows low-to-moderate retention. Big coffee nose with softer vanilla, light honey and plentiful dark fruits. Quite aromatic, enjoyable and not dominated by anything, with no alcohol noted. Soft, moderately sweet and with a strong coffee character showing tons of roast, big fruitiness, lightly honey/cake-like malts and reasonable bitterness to balance. Body is lighter than expected, perhaps, for a rich coffee stout, but in light of its relatively very small size, it's understandable, and furthermore impressive how much flavor is packed in there. Still, would like a little bit more oomph to the texture as it gets very watery on the finish.
