Talking Teeth is our jittery little stout conditioned on Onda Origins coffee beans and mashed with Peruvian cacao nibs. This stout started out with a bold blend of English barley, chocolate and caramel malts in the mash and then was hopped in the kettle with East Kent goldings and talus. Talking Teeth was fermented with our favorite English ale strain.

Pours a lovely just-this-side-of-black. Nice little half finger of cocoa brown head that dissipates, but retains at least a light spattering. Minimal lacing, but not nonexistent.
Nose is coffee up front. A touch of chocolate behind, and an almost dank character that flirts around the edges and adds an unexpected twist to things. Think like a fancy dark chocolate chocolate bar with crushed coffee beans, and somewhere in the room is a roach tray kind of thing.
As it warms/I get drinking through the glass this aspect fades, though I think that's more because the flavour is bold enough that the aroma kind of just moves out of the way in general from a sensory standpoint.
Flavour follows a similar setup, though the ash/char character is slightly more pronounced. Now that I've noticed that angle of it, I kind of can't escape it. It's a good thing I don't mind that character, but it's just not what I was expecting. Bitterness is more from the burnt malts with a bit of rich coffee contributing, but clearly subservient. Chocolate is dark, dark, with a minor fudginess to it... like if they did a dark dark chocolate syrup kind of thing. The aftertaste lingers with a bit of minor earthiness twinned along side the char and coffee.
Overall this beer isn't quite what I was expecting when I grabbed the can. I enjoy it overall, but that's because I like me some char/etc at times. It's impressively flavourful for something that's a pretty reasonable ABV. It slows me down to sipping, which isn't what I expect from a 5%er.
Cheers!
