On tap at Tioga Sequoia Brewing
A: Pours basically black with a frothy tan head that settles to a light layer and leaves some spotty lacing.
S: Roasty, smooth coffee, spice, chocolate, nutty, slightly earthy, a hints of vanilla and char, and toffee sweetness.
T: Roasty, beautiful hit of coffee, dark chocolate, a little spice, hints of vanilla, slightly nutty, earthy, a touch of char, and toffee sweetness.
M: A bit on the fuller side of medium body, moderate carbonation, slightly creamy.
O: Not sure how I haven't rated this one. I remember chatting up the brewers at pint night when they first released it. Still probably the best beer TS makes.

22 oz bottle from Donald Trump. Poured into Soaring Wings wine glass.
Pours a dark black body with a nice off-white head of 1/2 finger. Leaves a ring as it recedes.
Aroma is pure espresso and dark charred coffee beans. Slightly smokey, slight vanilla, slight fruitiness and acidity from the coffee. It's like opening a fresh bag or container of coffee. Gorgeous.
Flavor is a lot like the smell but with added sweetness and complexity. Saying "ohhhhh" out loud gives it instant points. Hazelnut, caramel, and even more vanilla. Tons of coffee/espresso obviously. Lovely lingering roastiness and sweet vanilla cream on the finish.
Feel is buzzing and appropriate. Really nice semi-creamy medium-heavy body with a smoothness throughout. Acidity and roast linger on the palate after the finish.
Overall, there's really nothing I can say against this beer. It's a KBS killer. Hell, a CBS killer. And it's not even barrel aged. Incredible, incredible stuff. Thanks Donald!

Nice breakfast stout. Thought the coffee (Valparaiso) was exceptionally good addition. Reminded me a bit of Ryan Bros. coffee that I love in Speedway Stout. All in all a very good coffee stout with that touch of sweetness that doesn't distract but helped keep bitterness under control. Would drink this often if I lived near by.

Valparaiso Cafe & Roastery - Brazilian Yellow Bourbon Peaberry Samambaia
Appearance- Pours black with a tan, half-finger's width head. Sub-par retention, resulting in a mostly barren surface and a thin ring of suds around the edge of the glass. Fair lacing, mostly made up of small spots here and there.
Smell - The aroma hits prominently on milk chocolate and coffee roast. Slight smokiness.
Taste - As with the nose, opens up with milk chocolate and roasted coffee flavor. Hint of smoke before a bit of caramel sneaks in and strengthens toward the finish. Faint berry buzzes on the tongue. The finish is a bit more sweet than roasty, with the aforementioned caramel taking lead from the fading chocolate and coffee character, and it lingers with some sweet creaminess as well.
Mouthfeel - Medium-bodied with moderate carbonation. Slick, silky texture with a slightly dry finish.
Overall - Pretty tasty coffee stout. Nice balance of roast and sweetness. I don't know about dropping $5 on a single can again, but I'm glad to have tried it.
