Notes via stream of consciousness: And the award for best beer name for a coffee beer goes to PINT NINE !!! There's nothing on the label about the beer other than it's a coffee stout with, assumedly, Sumatran coffee beans at 6.0 % ALC/VOL. A rough pour has brought up a three finger thick head of rocky tan foam atop an opaque black body. The aroma offers up some acidic coffee with a deep roastiness and some green pepper over dark and bittersweet chocolate. The flavor pretty much follows right along. There's some more character to the malt with some golden caramel, milk chocolate, and toastiness but the coffee remains acidic, peppery, and deeply roasty. It's not overdone, which is great, but the coffee beans that they've chosen might not be the best choice for the malt base ~ I could be wrong. What I'm not finding are hops (there's just some minor underlying stuff in the finish), and yeasty fruitiness (again, some but very muted) - all of which is fine! The bitterness is firm and it finishes dry with a gentle acidity, swirl of green pepper, and charred roastiness. In the mouth it's medium bodied and gently crisp. It's not the most rounded coffee beer that I've ever had (try their Oso Café for that), nor is it the most balanced, but if you're a fan of Starbuck's or Dunkin' coffee you might like this.

16 oz can poured into Parish Teku.
Dark black coffee color with a creamy light-brown head of 3 fingers, leaving lots of wonderful sheets of lace on the glass as it recedes to 2 fingers. The lace is just marvelous.
Aroma is the dark burnt grounds of coffee once you open a fresh can of Foldgers; it is supplemented with ashy malts and lactose.
Flavor brings a really solid sweet stout base. Chocolate and lactose sweetness build upon a peppery coffee presence bringing dark fruits as well. Some nutty brown malt and roasted malt also join in. Finish of roasted coffee, roasted nuts, and lactose.
Feel is crisp and creamy at the same time, bringing a nice roastiness and acidic nip. Alcohol is mild to non-existent.
Overall, an enjoyable session coffee stout, I'd say a notch above the typical Nebraska offerings for coffee stouts. Nothing to blow your mind, I'll leave that to Oso Cafe (my personal Pint Nine favorite), but definitely worth a look.
Price paid : $8.99 / 4 pack
Would buy again : Maybe in a pinch if Oso was not available
