Smell a part like nice maple coffee sweetness and taste follows but is balanced with a nice roasted malt and chocolate note. For a lower abv stout is a nice drinker and a well done stout . Not everything has to be a sweet adjunct bomb

Final beer in a flight last month. Deep dark brown and black appearance, smaller head in the 1/4" lighter brown realm. With a name like morning time you're damn right it pops of coffee first and foremost. Expectations met. Some other stuff, usual precurors like roasted malt and dark chocolate.
Taste, easy to drink and enjoyable with coffee being the primary workhorse flavor wise. Gotta dig the unconventional use of oats in a coffee stout, usually I just get non adjunct oatmeal stouts (Samuel Smith, a classic) but here we get a coffee one and it works very nicely. Smooth mouthfeel, not overly bitter coffee feel, has that cold brew smoothness to it. Also like that they didn't go all imperial with this one, not a chore to drink. Smooth without going all in on vanilla and lactose etc. . . but still pumps coffee into you. Won't harsh your stomach if you drink a bunch of it, really easy going and delivers the coffee.

On tap.
L: dark cola brown in color. Little head formation but does have a bubbly ring around the perimeter. Minimal traces of lacing on the glass.
S: full on coffee and lactose flavor. Pretty much smells like an iced coffee with creamer or a latte. Also hints of molasses and chocolate.
T: all the flavors noted on the nose are present in the taste. Problem is, it seems to be missing something or more like the flavors need to be more pronounced. The coffee and lactose are there. Coffee flavor is throughout entirety of flavor with lactose in the finish. Mild chocolate presence.
F: thin and watery. Light bodied with medium levels of carbonation.
O: very enjoyable beer, and I appreciate the low AbV. The smell is incredible. I am very glad to have tried. Cheers!

A nice coffee oatmeal stout with a hint of chocolate. Well balanced, smooth and super drinkable. Great beer with a medium body, nice head retention and coffee aroma.

Palate Contaminants: other beer
Maybe I waited a month too long, but I have a lot of stuff to work through...
It's dark, but discernibly brown. There's a good amount of tan head, especially for a stout. It almost pours like a Guinness.
The smell is very much coffee with cream and sugar. It has a little bitterness, but it's the kind that shows up with too much time on the burner, so I'll take the blame on that.
Man, the taste is so much like the smell, and I usually try to pick out something beyond that. The bitterness is diminished some. It's not complex, yet plenty palatable.
The feel is good for a stout. Medium-heavy body, but the carbonation comes out pretty easily.

this beer is absolutely bomb! one of my favorites from (a very long afternoon at) fieldwork. it doesnt have a ton of life in the glass, just a little lazy brown froth on top of the slick almost greasy looking deep dark brown body, plenty of viscosity, and a literally resounding aroma of fresh brewed espresso, i mean super strong and intense, probably the best feature of this beer. they didnt go too dark on the roasted grain, sometimes that can lead to roast overload, too much bitterness and an incomplete picture of the coffee. smart here to hold back on that here, more of a chocolate malt profile, still some roast and dark side, but the coffee does a lot of the work there. the oats in the mash seem to be heavy handed too, giving more than just a heart and starchy body, but also counterbalancing some of the acidity in the coffee and adding a richness to the texture that really makes it silky going down, especially in the absence of much carbonation, something i dont often prefer, but its great here a little stiller. the coffee is really intense here, but the malt base is absolutely perfect for it, so this was a dream for me, especially on my current coffee fetish, huge fan, one of their best!
