On tap at th e Clark Street Alehouse in Chicago, served in a 12 oz tulip snifter.
The darkest brown liquid with an inch of creamy tan head. Long lasting foam, very nice looking lace. Nice legs coating the glass. The first smell is cold pressed coffee, also some cocoa present. Creamy chocolate and coffee flavors. Semi-sweet bitter chocolate taste to finish. Lots of rich roast malt flavors hold eveything together. Some warming sensation, but no alcohol burn even as it warmed up. Coffee was still the dominant flavor.
Medium to full bodied (thick mouthfeel, but not as much as an oatmeal stout) with a smooth, creamy texture. Low carbonation keeps it smooth, slightly oily coating left on the tongue. Very drinkable for a strong 9.2% porter.

Chocolate caramel and coffee notes. Bit of an alcohol taste up front; more than I'd want. Not as full bodied as I thought by the ratings. There definitely could have been more coffee flavor. Decent beer but not a 90 rating.

Having been re-released after a 3 year hiatus, I can understand why enthusiasts for coffee-in-their-porter couldn't wait... and probably bugged Two Brothers for the re-release.
I give it special point for being in the extreme level, but still balanced. The malt is burnt, but not too much. The hops are their, but don't get in the way of tasting the malt. While perhaps a little thin in the mouth, the aftertaste proves that this has balance.
