Brother brought this back from Bend to share.

Pours a flat black color with a pretty nice off white head.

Aromas are very espresso forward with dark chocolate as well. Smells really nice.

Taste is very coffee like, burnt toasted grains, and a little gritty. Flavors then settle into some creamy malts and dark bitter chocolate. Finish is crisp, but a little fleeting with some mineral hops.

Mouthfeel is decent, but feels a little thin.

Drinkability is good. Very nice coffee stout, with a little more body and finish this would be really good.

Dark dark brown. Made a lot of brown foam at the growler station, but not so much in the glass. Heavy roasted grain and espresso on the nose. A little bit of mineral graphite. Dry cocoa and a touch of caramel taste. Light dryness balances nicely. Dry sensation build pleasantly without too much power.

L: Dark black with a few hints of Ruby, a small white tan head and no lacing on the glass.

S: Strong aroma of roasting coffee beans, slight hints of Roasted pepper, notes of chocolate and Roasted malt.

T: Sweet milk, chocolate, some Roast coffee. Flavor a little disappointing compared to aroma.

F: Thin body and fairly watery.

O: A average stout that needs a thicker body.
