Pours deep brown with a tan head.
Smells like ... old stale coffee. Hurm. What were they going for here? Maybe a bit of rancid malt noticeable.
Taste is ... not good. Old, sour, stale coffee, a hint of artificial sweetness ... this tastes like awful, awful, coffee gone cold with some alcohol. Mouthfeel is flat and thin.
Well, I appreciate the chance to try this from a generous trader, but I must sadly admit it is one of the worst tasting beers I have ever had.

The pour was stout black with an ambitious light brown head that left good lacing.
The aroma was lost to my COVID damaged nose, but I'm guessing it was pretty good.
the taste- no idea how they managed to get the elements of creme brûlée in there but they managed. Caramelized sugar, the vanilla, some lactose and coffee all lead in the flavors, chocolate rather serves to round out any rough edges, all without being very sweet. Impressive.
The feel is soft and smooth, I'm relatively sure they used lactose in this and that tends to add that type of mouth feel.
OA, good stout, I'll definitely be getting more!

Color- black
Smell- good, some coffee smell.
Taste- wonderful. The mixes of malt within this beer balances well with the smokiness and the coffee within the beer. Slightly chocolatey.
Feel- smooth.
Overall- A very enjoyable brew.

Pours a black color with a minimal head that disappears quickly. Aroma is coffee, caramel and roasted malts. Taste is sweet carame, vanilla and coffee. Good mouth feel. Enjoyable.

Mmmmmmm! One of my Top 10!
Amazing!
Worth the trip to Warren, Michigan if they have this on tap.
I know, I know, why would anybody that has a lucid mind mind suggest that you should travel to Warren Michigan? I get it.
But if Kuhnhenn's Tap Room has CBJS on tap well, that is about as fine a reason as anyone could ever give ya!
