Had this on tap at the brewery on 12-16-09. (BTW, why aren't beerfly reviews of this place allowed? It's totez a bar... with "free" beer, and $10 glasses. I love you, Terrapin!)

A very, very strong burnt coffee smell completely dominates the nose. I'm talkin' 5 day old, stale gas station coffee, mixed with dirt. Something very earthy about this beer. Definitely not the best impy stout I've smelled. Notes of vanilla and dark chocolate assert themselves in the background.

The taste is pretty much the same, but for some reason the coffee is not quite as offensive to my tongue as it is to my nose. But, again, burnt coffee is dominant.

Mouthfeel is nice and creamy-thick.

Overall, I'd have to say I liked it at first, but as it went on it got increasingly difficult to drink it. It seemed like the flavors that came through after warming were just more offensive versions of the composted coffee grounds, and the smell was by far the worst part.

I still love this brewery... but this beer is not for me.

Big wiff of coffee here, like a very dark and robust roast. Heavily roasted malts here. More roasted dark oats than oatmeal, with some black chocolate and smoked ancho chili pepper in the mix. Thick yet carbonated.
Very robust stout whose adjuncts are just as strong and bold as the stout character itself. Pretty good.

On tap, Pies and Pints, Morgantown, WV.

Smoke, COFFEE, and vegetal aromas. So rich and complex in around and then....

A punch in the face of flavors and smokiness!. Did I mention coffee? Almost syrupy in the mouth, booze forward. Sweet maple and pecan come through as well!

This is a very sneaky 9.4%. It's such a smooth blend of coffee and chocolate notes. Really enjoyed and would love to find it again. Had it in winter and can't think of a better time to be drinking such a great beer

Dark black stout with moderate head. Aroma is coffee and chocolate with a hint of alcohol. Mouthfeel is medium bodied but smooth. Taste is traditional stout with good notes of chocolate and coffee. A nice smooth finish. Overall a very good beer.

Picked up a sixer from TW-Greenville, SC on 11-16-22 for $11.49. No canning date; consumed can #4 1-23-22.

Beer pour dark brown with a beautiful nitro like mocha head that has some nice hang time.

Nose has hints of coffee and mildly roasted malts.

Taste is a mildly roasted malt base with the coffee adjunct blended it subtlety. Finishes with a touch of cream and is well balanced with no sign of coffee astringency.

Mouthfeel is light to medium bodied and smooth.

Overall a really nice job of incorporating the coffee adjunct. Can see my self picking this up a few times a year!
