'Mallow Joe
Eight & Sand Beer Co.

Pours virtually black with hints of a dark brown head that disappears almost instantly.

Aroma is roasted malts with fresh roasted coffee. There's a bit of charred wood in there too.

The flavour is roasted malts mixed accented with coffee, tempered with some dairy creaminess, and finished with tobacco smokiness. There's a mild sweetness carrying throughout, and with time the smokiness on the finish starts to transition from tobacco to campfire. After getting accustomed to the smokiness, chocolate notes start to emerge.

This is a rich, boozy stout, and you feel it. It's thick and viscous, and the alcohol makes itself known.

Overall, it's a big, boozy, malty imperial stout with coffee and a bit of smoke. I would have liked more coffee flavour, as I feel it gets lost, but the smokiness (if intentional) is well done - present but without becoming overpowering or turning this into a smoked beer.

Solid black appearance. Medium light carbonation with a just above average body. Slight oily slick feel.
Aroma is black coffee,,espresso beans, roasted malt, some marshmallow and molasses.
Taste is black coffee, roasted malt, dark chocolate, some marshmallow.
Overall its a really well done coffee stout. The roasted malt and marshmallow add another nice layer of flavor.

 

Pours oil black with thick head. Coffee flavor in the front. Not a big marshmellow flavor. Overall a soild Coffee Imperial Stout.
