Very good aroma & as advertised, very Java / coffee like in flavor. It’s a tad on the thin side but this beer is quite good nevertheless!

On tap at the brewpub. Pours a dark brown with a thick brown head. Aroma of roasted malt, roasted coffee, nuts, chocolate malt. Flavor of sweet roasted malt, coffee grounds, espresso, chocolate malt. Plenty of fresh coffee, a touch of sweetness, and nice porter backbone. Excellent Java Porter! 7/4/8/4/15 (3.8/5)

Sampled at GABF 2015. In the tasting glass this was a black color with a small tan foam cap. Nose of roasted coffee. Medium body. Flavor is chocolate, coffee, and citrus. Finishes with a lot of roast bitterness. Very nice.

Sampled at gabf. Black. A coffee nise and it is a nit swampy. Roadted coffee flavor with big malts. Nice citrus hops. Pleasant.

Draft at GTMW 2015. Clear deep maroon brown color, brown head. Huge coffee ground aroma. Taste is earthy coffee. Delicious.

Reviewed from notes taken during the Great Nebraska Beer Festival. Aroma has a nice, moderately strong, roast coffee aroma with some malt notes of light roast and moderate chocolate. A hint of green pepper with some light dark fruit esters. Pours a dark brown with a small, thick, tan head with decent retention. Flavor is similar to the aroma with quite a bit of freshly roasted coffee. Medium light roast malt note with moderate chocolate notes. Medium low bitterness with a light astringency. Low dark fruit esters, mostly plum and berries. Mouthfeel is medium light bodied with medium light carbonation. Medium low astringency and low alcohol warmth. An alright coffee beer, but I prefer my coffee to have a character more similar to a cold pressed coffee. The astringency was a bit higher than I would prefer. Malt balance was really nice as were the low dark fruit esters.

Draft from brewery. Pours dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma is big roasted coffee and some chocolate. Taste is the same. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Dark cola color with a small amount of khaki head that lingers around the rim. Smells of vegetal strong black coffee, anise. Taste is a strong coffee, roasted malt, a little chocolate and anise like sweetness, low carbonation, dry. A good roasted quality overall and coffee smells and tastes are very strong, earthy coffee. Good overall. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
