A cup of joe and a bold beer can thwart the winter cold, so we blended them for the ultimate warmer. Our Coffee Stout is a fusion of dark roasted malts and rich, cold-brewed coffee for layers of bittersweet, fruity, dark chocolate and caramel-like flavors.

Info: PCKGD 2/6/2020,12 oz. glass bottle, 50*F, sea level, snifter
L: Deep black (could barely see my phone's flashlight through the glass!). Finger of tan head. Lightly persistent, no lacing on glass.
S: Coffee beans, charcoal, rubber, asphalt.
T: Milky dark coffee (French/Italian roast?). Vanilla, cream. Dark chocolate. Rubber tire. Bark.
F: Chewy, full-bodied. Creamy.
Overall: Assertive coffee stout. Not a fan of the rubber notes that come through--Tastes like it's doing donuts on my tongue. Agree with previous reviews on hints of licorice. With smoke flavors, getting bark, charcoal, asphalt. These, in my opinion, are not properly balanced and I find myself trying to reach for any detectable hop flavors/aromas to brighten it up. Might taste better chilled?

Poured black with a two finger tan head dissipating slowly to a film. Light lacing. Nose has a hint of coffee and roasted malt. Flavor of roasted malt and coffee, with a hint of licorice. I thought the flavor was a bit weak. Medium - heavy body with light carbonation. A slight smoothness in feel.

Pitch black with a thin, beige head that leaves no lacing on the glass. Nose of caramel malt, coffe, sweet vanilla, rye and pumpernickel. Taste of rye bread, licorice, roasted malt, coffee beans and a hint of vanilla. Medium body with light carbonation.

Pours big and dark but head is short. Nose is creamy chocolate and roast coffee beans with spicy hops lurking under cover. Very smooth in texture, with a similar to oatmeal stut mellowness kind of gliding this woody, oily, coffee package to its destination. Really balanced and well put together, with a cream and coffee ice cream kind of finish.

Drinking this at home due to the ongoing pandemic and the fact that you cannot get a proper pint any where.
Poured from a bottle into a pint glass.
Appears almost black with a nice foamy tan head, that left a small cap and nice lacing.
Smells, chocolatey, coffee, bready and caramel.
Taste follows the nose.
Mouth feel is medium plus for the style.
Overall very nice for the style and I would definitely order again.
