Well here is the stout label I have been working on for the past few days. it's not quite done yet, any ideas for improvement? I realize it is a bit dark and I may want to lighten it up. That is supposed to be a coffee bean, not a flat football or turd.

Looking good.

I would put a color behind the square at the top, to make
sure the text doesn't get lost in the dark background. Also,
I would center the coffee bean.

If you're going for an asymmetric thing with the bean, I'd
add some weight on the right hand side. Underneath the
"89" is space that is aching to be balanced.

I'd also try removing the shadow from the bean, I think it
throws off the yellow text a bit.

Also, try center aligning your side texts.

Sorry for the long critique, they are small things ;)
 
Thanks for the critique, I was planning on lining up all the text at the end. I did want the bean to be a bit off centered, but I know what you mean about adding weight(that was annoyoing me).
Thanks again
