Good but the coffee flavor and aroma is just slightly off.

 

Black. Beautiful cappuccino colored foam.
In the smell a lot of coffee and cocoa, strng and intense. Then liquorice, roasted.
Smooth taste, more cocoa. Then again coffee, almost cappuccino.
In the back, roasted, roots bitterness, vanilla. Again in the aftertaste. Artichoke.
Roasted. Almost piquant fullness.

2014 vintage; drank 1/27/15 on draft @ Fischman's.

Black/brown appearance.

Dark khaki head; minimal lace.

Chocolate syrup & roasted coffee nose.

Creamy medium mouthfeel.

Mild chocolate & roasted coffee flavors; no booze heat.

A creamy, drinkable (sessionable?!) coffee stout; not as bold as I'd like but above average.

I am drinking Spaghetti Western an Imperial Stout from Brewfist and Prairie Artisan Ales, brewed with cocoa nibs, coffee, and spaghetti. It is a bit of an unusual stout but it is quite good. I like it. Spaghetti Western used to be a derogatory label, but now they are considered the best Westerns (Clint Eastwood).


Look: black with an inch creamy mocca colored head

Aroma: roasted malts and chocolate

Taste: The flavor is some roasted malts, a lot of chocolate and coffee and maybe some spaghetti.

Body/Overall: medium to full body

Brewfist/Prairie Spaghetti Western, 8.5% ABV. Pours black with a half-finger brown head. Nose is coffee and chocolate. Taste is coffee up front, roast malt, slight chocolate, with a moderate bitter close. Decent mouthfeel, if slightly over-carbonated. Overall excellent.

Paid up the wazoo for this collab $5.99 for the single into a pint glass.
A - Quite good very pitch black dark beer with a perfect 1/2 inch of mocha tinted froth.
S - Mostly smells of black strap molasses, licorice and coffee roasts. Cocoa nibs and bittersweet chocolate notes.
T - Interesting good dose of cocoa nibs to coffee roasts and some sweet molasses. Slight bitter and woody tones. Not bad.
M - Much smoother than expected medium to heavy in body.

Overall the price tag makes me shy away a bit but the beer itself isn't bad. Not sure where the Spaghetti is...

 

 

 

 

 

Excellent imperial stout but I just didn’t get the spaghetti reference! Nice deep black color with a little lingering tan head and very spotty lacing. Smells of dark chocolate and roast coffee. Tastes similarly, along with some cream, vanilla, caramel and malt. Smooth mild mouthfeel and good carbonation. Beer really opened up more as it warmed - the flavors definitely were more muted when the beer came straight out of the fridge. A solid beer, just wish it were more memorable to distinguish itself from other excellent imperial stouts.
