I had this beer on-tap in a mug at Special Brews in Lynnwood, WA.
Appearance: extremely dark brown with a thin layer of tan foam. Pretty good!
Smell: super roasty with a big coffee character. It's also quite dry, which I like.
Taste: roast malt and coffee. I don't know if coffee is added to this, but it must be. Dry, roasty and tasty!
Mouthfeel: medium-light body with a decent carbonation and creaminess.
Overall: if you like coffee and dry roasty malt, you'll dig this beer. I do!

32oz growler purchased at the South Hill Growler Guys in Spokane for around $7. A new local coffee beer - that makes me happy, and a lager to boot! Presumably this was brewed with Roast House Coffee, since that's the name of a local coffee roaster. Interestingly, this apparently has 62.5 IBUs. Can anyone name a beer whose IBU score includes 1/2 of an IBU? I sure couldn't until I found this.
Poured a very dark, almost black color, with some mahoganyish highlights around the extreme edges. Big, creamy tan colored head that verged on mocha, and took a few minutes to drop. Lots of lace.
Big coffee aroma to this. BIG. If you dig coffee beers you'll love it, otherwise it'll seem too much. There's a little bit of brown sugary and cocoa-esque sweetness as well. Smells a bit like coffee ice cream actually (and I love coffee ice cream).
And the taste is pretty much like the aroma. Big, roasty coffee taste to this right upfront. I get some brown sugar notes in the background, and the fade-out is more chocolaty before ending with a bitter note that's a little strange, somewhere between hop and mineral flavor, but the first half of the taste is a brutal roundhouse kick to the skull by a Bruce Lee that is made of coffee.
More body to this than I expected. Creamy, coating, sticky mouthfeel. Finishes somewhat clean, but the massive coffee blast still leaves a bit of an aftertaste.
In many ways Orlison might be the most daring brewery in this region. Just brewing lagers isn't ballsy enough for them, apparently. The only reason I'm not scoring higher in taste is that bitter thing at the very, very end that doesn't quite jibe with everything else.

Looks true to style: deep black with great brown lacing.
Smells amazing. The most coffee aroma I've ever picked up off of a coffee stout.
Tastes true to it's coffee stout stylings, but takes an unexpected turn to a bitter dark chocolate.
Up and down beer for me, but it doesn't suck.
