The coffee is too overpowering, but otherwise very drinkable.

Dark tan head. Dark brown color.
I like the coffee and I like that it hides the Belgian flavors a bit. Thinner body, but tons of fresh espresso makes up for it. I like this one.

Good initial taste. Friend and I felt like it tasted like an ash tray in your mouth as the final taste. I'm a big stout fan, but not of this one.
