Dead Blow - Coffee
Braxton Brewing Company - Braxton Covington

 

I've had this on tap at the HopCat in Louisville on multiple occasions. It's a solid stout. Actually, and this is a compliment, it tasted a lot like Guinness -- though it has a higher abv, of course.

I got a can of this off the single shelf at a Kroger just down the road from south metro ice in Dayton,OH. It poured an opaque dark with tan head that is not leaving any lace. The scent had dark fruit and coffee. The taste is nicely balanced and easy to drink with plum and coffee presence. The mouthfeel is medium in body with good carbonation. Overall its a solid beer.

12 oz can from KY with a 2019 BB date stamp.
Pours with a tall, bubbly tan head over an opaque and essentially black body.
Mild aroma of dark bread and coffee.
The flavor is stronger but of the same character. Lingering mildly bitter aftertaste of burnt toast and roasted nuts.
Medium full body and medium light body.

 

 

 

Ports nice and dark with a good dark tan head. Good stout smell but with a hint of sweetness from the dates that gives it a nose of a milk stout. The first couple sips turned me off with a slightly metallic aftertaste. After the first two though, it was pretty darn good. A standard stout with a good mouth feel, a hint of dates on the end and just a slight bit of the coffee. I actually think the coffee flavors could have been stronger.

Will drink again.

Nice shiny black with a tall 2 finger beige-brown head capping off at the top of the hourglass snifter.

Aromas of chocolate covered prunes and tobacco. Slight bourbon coffee although I have no idea where that bourbon sweetness is coming from.

Flavor is primarily coffee, hints of watery mango-pineapple juice, followed by metallic prune and cocoa, slight herbal hops, with a finish of some semi-sweet mango & aloe juice.

Feel is nicely electrified with carbonation with a slight roastiness in the background. The roast continues to the finish.

Overall I think without the coffee this might be gross. But luckily it's pretty drinkable and definitely worth finishing. Not amazing, but decent. Thanks Hoos78.

Best coffee stout, hands down! Super smooth and robust, good balance of coffee and malt flavors, not too bitter, just a stellar brew

From the growler via deps in a snifter. This very nice stout pours a nice
blackish brown with thin cola highlights and a nice head of off white foam
that subsides to a thick ring and a thin light layer with light lacing. Nose
of subtle coffee, light dark fruit of dates and figs, and roasted malts, very delicate
for the ingredients. Flavors exceed the nose by a long shot with candied dates
and cold brewed black coffee with a touch of char mingling over subtle vanilla
and dark roasted malts with a hint of herbal hops on the back with moderate
chocolate notes. Very nice mouth feel; medium body, light carbonation, and a
mild coffee and lightly sweet date finish that is pleasant without being cloying
showing some deft balance on the part of the brewer.

Very nice

Cheers
