A coffee lover's delight! A wonderful stout infused with coffee that is specially roasted for us by Emy J's in Stevens Point, WI.

22 ounce bottle acquired in a trade with wkcyr4, thanks for the opportunity Wendall to try this Top 100 brew, split with my dad last night, poured into my Rubicon snifter
A-Very dark brown but almost black with some highlights, thin 1/2 inch creamy beige head that stayed around for a couple minutes, some retention, not much lacing
S-Fresh coffee beans that are mostly roasted espresso, dark chocolate, also some grassy accents, some faintly sweet malt, half and half, and leather
T-This stout was obviously coffee infused but near as intense as the aroma point to or you would think after brews like Speedway and Arctic Rhino, this started off with some slightly sweet dark cocoa, that faded into some roasted malts and espresso in the middle, finish was dry with mild hops and more coffee but not much, flavor was not overpowering, instead the coffee enhanced the malts flavors and really brought out the roastiness in this brew, by the end it got creamy and milky like somebody put some dairy in the beer when I was not looking to give it an even more coffee-like flavor and desirable sweetness
M-Medium bodied, slightly thin for how big of a beer it is, roasty, chewy, and dry mouthfeel, taste lingers, nice low level of carbonation that fit this brew
D-Could have drank the bomber but would have been limited after that, bit heavy on the stomach, do not know the ABV but it does not seem like it could be higher than eight percent, and if it was then it was well hidden
First beer I have tasted from Central Waters but now I look forward to trying others, thought the coffee was going to be more aggressive but it was fairly mellow and worked well with the other flavors, one thing is for sure and that is that it tasted very fresh, would drink again, recommended

This is a black, oily-looking brew with a diminutive tan head. Wonderful toasted grain aromas in the nose. Dark-roasted coffee and bittersweet chocolate flavors dominate the palate. Creamy in texture. I look forward to having it again.

Pours a clear dark brown with a massive tan head that leaves nice lacing as it falls away. Aroma is fresh roasted coffee. Flavor is coffee forward, with dark roasted malt. Feel is medium bodied with ample carbonation. Overall, this is delicious. Enuf said.

12oz can into a pint glass. Canned 11/2/20, so 2 years old.
Looks decent enough. Darkest brown body, small white head shrinks to a ring. No lacing. Some tiny dark floaties.
Nice smooth coffee aroma.
On tasting, the coffee flavor is still excellent after 2 years. Smooth, rich, warming. No roast at all.
Mouth between medium and full, finish coffee and some warming.
Overall, glad to have risked this one, coffee has either not faded much, or was phenomenal fresh. Kinda one dimensional, but a dimension I'm happy to be in right now.

Closing out the last days of winter with this tasty coffee stout. Hits on all points, nice cold brew coffee influence, delicious taste and smell, and abv well hidden. Killer deal at $10 for 6.

Clear cola color, the scent is boozy and distant, lots of coffee bean. Taste is so good, I'm not even a huge fan of these coffee stouts, but this is just done damn well. The hops and the dark grains and the coffee all meld into one flavor, I wasted one of these on a roast and regret it. World-class

Brewhouse Coffee Stout pours an almost black color, with not much head. Aroma is fresh cold press coffee. Flavor is a nice rich sweet malty stout, with fresh cold press coffee flavors mixed in. Good body and feel. Overall, very good coffee stout, flavors blend great.
