M - Only knock is just a touch too much carbonation for me.

Pours a thick black color with a darker brown head, about a finger thick. Some nice lacing left behind on the glass. Smells heavily of blackstrap molasses and coffee, a little hint of chocolate. Taste is a little on the thin side, coffee is more muted than I would have expected, slight hint of chocolate, more primarily roasted malt flavor. Feel is again thinner, makes it a little too easy to quickly quaff this beer. Overall it's not a bad sipper for an afternoon or an evening to just relax where you want a stout but not a whale, however it's not worth purposely seeking out.

I found this beer to be thin, which is ok if it packs some flavor into a small body. It is thin on flavor as well. I don't get much roast flavor that you expect with big stouts. I also do not get much coffee flavor, which you expect with a big coffee stout.
Overall: just too thin and lifeless. Certainly not offensive, but not good either. There are much better beers for the money.

Look: Pours black. The head is mocha brown one finger of head.
Smell: sweet medium roast coffee dark chocolate blueberry vanilla light roasted malts. It smells really good.
Taste: Upfront I get that blueberry and sweet medium roast coffee middle of the mouth you get roasted malts more blueberry dark chocolate finishes with some roast biterness some booziness to let you know this is a high abv beer and a tart blueberry flavor lingers in the finish.
Feel: medium body creamy mouth feel.
Overall: I'm surprised how much blueberry I get in this beer it's actually the dominate flavor. Wish the coffee came through a bit more but still a really nice beer.

Black in color, opaque, tan head, good retention. Nice coffee aroma. Taste is nice and smooth - not too much roast or bitterness. Full bodied, but easy drinking for the higher ABV.
