UPDATED: SEP 21, 2021 On tap at Taco Mac. Dark brown pour with a tan head. Roasted malt, dark chocolate, coffee. Nice.

UPDATED: OCT 16, 2020 Really good, would definitely order again. Not too sweet, not too syrupy. as Goldilocks would say, “Just right”

UPDATED: APR 21, 2020 Pours dark brown black with a big foamy tan head that legs up a storm. Aroma is oatmeal malt, brown sugar and hint of sourness. Taste is a magical concoction of oatmeal, coffee and roasted malt. Just moderately sweet with a bitter tail. Excellent stout.

UPDATED: MAR 27, 2020 Smooth mixture of oatmeal that is backed up with a strong coffee body that is velvety with a vanilla finish.

UPDATED: MAR 13, 2020 If you want a coffee stout, look no further. This one is at the top of the heap. Super roasty high grade hornet coffee us all over the aroma a n.v d flavor. Nice milk chocolate notes underneath. Thick and creamy. Just ridiculous.

UPDATED: AUG 31, 2019 It pours jet black, the head is caramel color. The aroma has notes of: chocolate, coffee, hazelnut skin, dirt, and cracker. A taste is light sweet that finishes dry. The palate is medium heavy body, and has light carbonation - the finishes medium and bitter. Overall, decently chocolate brew.

UPDATED: JUN 4, 2019 Black color with a tan head. Aroma of coffee, burnt toast, dark chocolate and oatmeal cookies. Strong. Bitter sweet. Rich.

UPDATED: MAR 19, 2019 A Smokey malt aroma, pours dark brown color with a thin tan head. A dry mouth feel with notes of a smoky malt with a bit of coffee and a slightly bitter finish.

UPDATED: JAN 12, 2019 12 ounce can into tulip glass, 2018 vintage. Pours opaque dark brown/black color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky tan head with awesome retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big nutty dark roasted coffee, milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, caramel, toffee, brown sugar, vanilla, cream, toasted oats, and dark/brown bread; with lighter notes of molasses, licorice, raisin, fig, date, smoke, charcoal, wood, herbal, pepper, pine, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of dark/roast/bready malts, coffee, and light-moderate earthy hop/fruity yeast notes; with great strength. Taste of huge nutty dark roasted coffee, milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, caramel, toffee, brown sugar, vanilla, cream, toasted oats, and dark/brown bread; with lighter notes of molasses, licorice, raisin, fig, date, smoke, charcoal, wood, herbal, pepper, pine, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. Light pine, woody, herbal, spicy hop; and roast, charred, coffee bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of dark roasted coffee, milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, caramel, toffee, brown sugar, vanilla, cream, toasted oats, dark/brown bread, molasses, licorice, dark fruit, smoke, charcoal, wood, herbal, pepper, pine, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malts, coffee, and light-moderate earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; with an awesome roast/hop bitter/sweet balance; and no cloying, acrid, astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering hop/char bitterness. Medium carbonation and fairly full body; with a very smooth, creamy/silky/velvety/bready, and fairly sticky/chalky mouthfeel that is fantastic. Minimal warming alcohol for 9.4%. Overall this is a fantastic imperial coffee oatmeal stout. All around outstanding complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malts, coffee, and light-moderate earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; very smooth and dangerously easy to drink for the ABV with the mellowly bitter/drying finish. Not overly bitter/charred. Amazingly rich malts and balanced fruity/nutty coffee complexity; with nice earthy hop presence/balance against sweetness. A highly enjoyable offering, and spot on English base style example as expected.

Draft to taster at Cappy's pour opaque black with thin mocha head. Nose big dark roast coffee, baker's chocolate, but mostly coffee. Taste red fruit, cherry and currant, big coffee, dark chocolate. I like coffee so tasty to me
