Zipline Brewing Co Espresso Stout

I have been holding onto this one for just the right moment. Long day at work and time to sit down to enjoy a coffee stout!  Nice dark stout with a perfect foamy head. Raising the glass up to my nose, I get an equal amount of coffee and roasted malt aroma. 

From the first taste, I take in lots of the roasted flavor. This is definitely a nice, rugged stout. My palate is not picking up much on the chocolate malt in this stout.  The coffee flavor is nice, but I wish it was just a little bit more bolder.

This is definitely one that you can enjoy sipping over a nice long conversation. In terms of the Holy Grail Scale, I will give this one a 6. Great stout flavor!   Cheers!
