More big thanks to richj1970 for another great breakfast stput.

Pure black, thick looking pour with a finger of light tan foam that clears out quickly and leaves bare cap and thin ring.

Light/med. strength aroma, toasty brown bread, coffee, creamy sweet, and light roast malt hints.

Med. strength taste that is a perfectly balanced blend of the flavors in the nose, with the roasty notes becoming more apparent as a bitter, lightly smoky accompaniment to the clean flavors. End of sip is all about the toasty and roasty notes, but not overpoweringly. Tasty.

Med. carb., med. viscosity, light/med. bodied, with an excellent clean finish.

Very tasty beer that drinks more like a sweet stout than an Impy, but for the flavor profile it is perfect, so I will not ding it for that. Best feature is clean coffee attains perfect balance with other flavors. Recommended.

12 oz bittle poured into snifter

A: Rich black brown brew with a little light escaping. Not much of a head but a small ring.

S: Roasted burnt alts, light coffee, nutty, chocolate, a little alcohol.

T: Light smokiness, nutty, roasted malts, light chocolate, a little oakiness

M: Medium bodied leaning toward fuller with a creamy finish.

O: This is a pretty solid stout and the light smokiness plays well off the sweet light chocolate and roasted malts making ths a really pleasing offering. I like the smoke does not overwhelm.

Smells rich of coffee. More so than it tastes. Not too thick.

Poured into a tulip glass.

A: Blackish brown with a mocha one finger head that dissipates fast. Soapy lacing.

S: Dark chocolate, coffee, vanilla, anise.

T: Follows nose with a surprisingly good taste. The dark chocolate really rocks it. Let it warm for maximum pop. Nice coffee and vanilla mix.

M: Medium with medium, dry carbonation.

O: A decent entry from Blue Pants. Would definitely drink again. Wish I'd bought their barrel aged Pinstripe at the checkout counter.
