L - Deep, opaque, black with a tan head that leaves a thin cap behind that leaves a little bit of lacing behind.
S - A good amount of sweet milk chocolate and coffee as well as some sweet lactose
T - Follows the nose with a milk chocolate and roasted coffee dominating, intermingled with sweet lactose. Some nuttiness as well - pecans?
F - Medium with a light to moderate amount of carbonation. Smooth.
O - A pretty solid breakfast stout with ton of chocolate and coffee flavors

Received as an extra in a trade and shared with JLindros. Canned on 11/6/19.
A - Poured into a Kate the Great tulip a nice dark brown almost black with a thin mocha head that fades to leave a light halo and thin wisps.
S - Aromas of fainter chocolate, bigger coffee roast and depth. Good brighter cold brew, light nuttiness, almost coffee creme like but not quite.
T - Taste is similar to the nose with nice creamy lactose and the coffee is really bright and delicious. That's a double edged sword through as while the coffee is great there aren't really much "beer" aspects. The malts are incredibly weak.
M - Mouthfeel is lightly carbonated, body has super thin.
O - Overall this was a very disappointing beer. The coffee is great but that's about it.
Serving Type: can

THanks to rudzud, canned 11/06
Pours a tan but smaller frothy with low retention and light lacing, pitch black dark beer with no light and decent legs
Nose brings loads of fresh roasted coffee, very nutty as well, a little caramel, and mild fudgey cocoa, little creamy oatmeal, not too roasty either
Taste big fresh coffee up front, big roasted coffee but not roasted malt, smooth nutty coffee and a little fruity, a bit of cocoa, touch fudgey, some lactose, but thin and watery like, light bitterness, drier finish with lingering mild bitterness, cocoa, and big coffee
Mouth is med bod but thin and watery, carb is a bit low as well, lighter on the carb even
Overall OK, but def needs more malt base and body, the coffee overpowers the taste, lactose is thankfully light, coffee that's there is nice but the lack of malt is difficult to get through
