Strong, slightly bitter, mild coffee flavor. Best with food

Total coffee bomb. Very tasty. Dark color, nice head, sweet caramel and coffee notes, but not too sweet. Like it a lot.

Pours nice and dark. Hints of chocolate an hops. Coffee aftertaste but not as strong as expected.

Light to mid body, strong coffee taste, smooth, not too bitter, alc taste & afterburn. Decent but not thick enough. 3.7. Good Guinness replacement, given price

Good, but not as much coffee flavor as I'd hoped. A little bitter.

Abv is actually 9%

Great in black colour with the requisite foamy tan head and solid retention as is characteristic of the style. The nose is fairly sweet as the cappuccino infusion is obvious, but so too is the booziness and a piney-citrusy hoppiness, though sweet malts remains the order of the day with a boozy brown sugar breadiness lingering. There are hints of the chocolate, cappuccino, coffee, and even some hoppy esters on the palate, but predominantly it is the booze and bourbon that comes out on the tongue. It doesn't taste bad, but is overwhelming in a unique way somewhat different from your standard imperial. Full bodied and nicely creamy/chewy, though you can't hide this warmth and it strikes me that a year in bourbon barrels may be a bit too long (and that the ABV is under dispute since it tastes like liquor). Grade: B/B+

Pours very dark. Very hoppy nose with hints of chocolate. Bitter hops mouthfeel with coffee aftertaste.

Hint of coffee on the nose. Good color, like a cup of joe. Nice and smooth. Coffee isn't that strong and there is a sweetness that lingers. Good Sh*~t!
