4/5
AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
12 ounce bottle into snifter, batch 2. Pours dark as night was a small fairly dense tan head with decent retention, that reduces to a ring of lace. Small bits of lacing clinging to the glass as well. Aromas of big dark chocolate, caramel, roasted malt, bitter coffee, vanilla, toffee, molasses, and oats. Some very nice and balanced aromas here. Taste of big dark chocolate, caramel, vanilla, roasted malt, and espresso. Decent amount of coffee bitterness present on the finish; with lingering notes of caramel, chocolate, coffee, vanilla, and roasted malt. Medium carbonation and medium-full body; with a nice creamy mouthfeel. No alcohol noticed other than a warming after the finish. Good amount of drinkability but it is still a sipper. Overall a very nice coffee stout from Flying Dog.
An all around solid and delicious coffee stout from Flying Dog. I got this when I was in Maryland for a day a couple months ago. Haven never seen it anywhere else.
