For That Extra Krunk
Coffee is my shepherd; I shall not doze. It maketh me to wake in green pastures. It leadeth me beyond the sleeping masses. It restoreth my brain, It leadeth me in the paths of consciousness for it's name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of sleep, I will fear no artificial sweetener for thou art with me; Thy cream and thy sugar they comfort me. Thou preparest a carafe before me in the presence of my zzz's, Thou anointest my day with sunlight; My cup runneth over. Surely richness and flavor shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of Cappuccino forever... Let us sip... or whatever...

22 oz. bottle poured into a tulip glass
A vigorous pour down the center on the glass produced just a small layer of bubble head which quickly dissipated to a small ring of bubbles. It poured a very dark brown with a brilliant ruby color shining through the edges.
It smelled of sweetened coffee with some powdered chocolate notes. Not nearly as strong as many of the other coffee stouts I have had.
The taste has a distinct roasty coffee flavor but it is noticeably lacking any of the bitterness which makes other coffee stouts come across a little harsh. It also is completely neutral in flavor on the backside which is interesting. Once again many other coffee stouts leave a bitter coffee taste through the whole thing but this one is only on the front end. I like that a lot but I only wish the coffee taste was a little stronger.
Mouthfeel is great. Not nearly as sweet as many others of a similar gravity in the style. It shows no hint of the 9+% ABV. The neutral flavored back end makes this beer insanely drinkable.

Dark ruby-black color, roasted caramel and coffee aroma, coffee, plum-caramel flavor, creamy smooth and full mouthfeel. Nice tan clingy head, leaves a nice lacing in my glass, nice stout.

Black in color with minimal light penetration. There’s a half inch of creamy brown on top. The aroma is of cappuccino and dark chocolate. I’m tasting cappuccino and dark chocolate. The mouth is oily, viscous, and dry.

Pours a solid black body with a fluffy white head. Smell is coffee, a little chocolate and malt. Taste is coffee, milk chocolate, malt, touch of hop bitterness, and a little sugar. Medium body, pretty close to a cup of cappuccino actually. Overall, for the price this is pretty darned good. Not my favorite, but price wise you could consume this more regularly so, a winner.
