Picked this up at the local Co-Op. Botled on January 19th of this year. Stuck it in the fridge and poured into an Ommegang glass on a beautiful wam Sunday in Vermont. Stoked to have this as I drink coffee from Vermont coffee company almost daily.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A – Brown to almost black appearance. In the glass, midnight black, on the pour, a very dark brown. 3-Finger bold coffee coloured head with a beautiful creamy top.\u00a0<\/p>\n

S – Big roasted malts, chocolate malts and a bit of oakiness but all of that is dominate by glorious black coffee with a hint of sugar. Very malty not much booziness on the nose.\u00a0<\/p>\n

T – Oh boy. It has that classic taste you get from Founder\u2019s Breakfast Stout but it\u2019s a little bit sweeter. Big malts, big coffee and big sweetness on the finish.\u00a0<\/p>\n

M – There\u2019s a bit of tongue tingle on the mouth swish. 50\/50 carbonation, medium body, very earthy almost root-like finish.\u00a0<\/p>\n

O – It\u2019s not the best coffee stout I\u2019ve had but it\u2019s certainly tasty and very drinkable. I\u2019m going to buy 2 more and do a 6 and 12 month taste of these to see how the coffee fades and how fast.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n
