Big River Espresso Stout

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 7

On tap @ The Tomato head in Knoxville. Near black pour, thinnish, beige head, nice lacing. Thin for a stout. Rich black coffee grounds in the first smell, wet new coffee!, then roasted malts and a very light acidic quality, hint of molasses, and more coffee. Would be stellar if it had more body.

This is really more of a coffee porter than a coffee stout. It's not quite opaque but dark brown enough to look black at a casual glance. It has a nice light tan head. The flavor is nicely roasty with little to no chocolate or sweetness. There is a nice lingering coffee bitterness in finish. The coffee actually improves what is normally a fairly thin stout (it's based on the Big River Iron Horse Stout), but the coffee flavor is mild and seems to have used a more common morning coffee bean instead of a more flavor espresso bean.

I was impressed with this stout...though it is a bit thin, it has a wonderful aroma and taste of fresh coffee that I believe distinguishes itself from other run-of-the-mill stouts. I definitely want more of this!

What an interesting beer! The aroma is of freshly brewed espresso. Apperance is dark with a small head. The flavor is espresso and roasted malt. Overall its not a very complex beer but it has a very good taste. I recommend it.
