Pours opaque with an inch of thick, brown foam. Retention is quite good for the amount of foam. Void where the lacing should be.
Aroma is coffee. Molasses but probably more brown sugar comes right in behind. A hint of chocolate adds some interest.
Taste is more of the same. There is a sweetness that the chocolate, coffee, and coffee bitterness fight back to balance. A lingering coffee hangs deep in the back of the mouth.
Medium body with minimal carbonation probably due to age.
A great drinker for a stout with coffee. Enough to tingle the senses while being a light stout. I am sure the coffee is stronger when fresh but is a good balance now. Enjoy!

Beer Notes
This ain't no Folgers! Our Winter seasonal has a nice coffee aroma and the flavor of cold Guatamala Antigua coffee with "a little "cream and sugar added. Delicious!
"Well ya see, Norm, it's like this... A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers." - Cliff Clavin, of Cheers
