Toppling Goliath Mornin' Latte

The Toppling Goliath Brewing Company is in Decorah, Iowa. This is an 8.9% ABV Imperial coffee milk stout. It uses cacao  nibs in addition to coffee.

The beer pours black in color. There is a tall head of brown foam. The aroma is a blast of coffee, along with dark roasted malt, and cacao nibs. The taste follows the aromas, a coffee filled, cocoa tinged, dark roasted stout. There is sweetness, but the finish is semi-dry and fairly bitter. The bitterness is appropriate to the coffee and dark roasted malts. The beer drinks smooth, full-bodied, with a fine, tingling carbonation.
