Growler: The aroma is loaded with espresso with some light chocolate. It pours a transparent mahogany with a large beige head that has good retention. The flavor starts with light chocolate. The finish has lots of espresso with some hints of vanilla and roastiness. Light-medium bodied with soft carbonation.

32 oz mini-growler. Clear, but dark, copper brown with a bubbly tan head. Espresso beans jump out with the first whiff. Hints of oatmeal, brown sugar and pumpernickel. Silky, medium body with dull, but prickly, carb. Taste is burnt caramel, tobacco and espresso beans. Dry finish with grapefruit peel.

Huge thanks to pepsican, badbeer, and iowaherkeye, and thecheeseman. Really nice "espresso" aroma. Sort of like old folgers but in a good way? Coffee is nice in the finish, a bit of good hops in there too.

Huge thanks to thecheeseman for all the ccb stuff. Brown pour with a thin off white head. Fresh coffee grounds and chocolate aroma. Flavor has more coffee but it was a bit stale. Good chocolate and caramel notes. Dry finish with good carbonation.

32 oz growler courtesy of Beerlando. Bryan keeps it coming like an allstar. Pours a dark brown iced tea, tranaprent, decent tan foamy head that laces well. Aromas push toasty malts, espresso and coffee, a touch of vanilla and roast, very espresso! Initial is coffee, roasted and toasted, espresso and roast with a bit of underlying sweetness. Yum. A touch of chocolate, touch of tobacco flavor really works well. This beer rock a decent body, light enough to drink a lot of but very flavorful. This seems to be the usual with CCB. I like it. Quality brew by CCB again. Finishes roast, toast, and lightly bitter. One of the best coffee infused beer I’ve had without it getting offensive or obnoxious. Cheers!

Growler courtesy GodofThunder. Ruby color. Loads of coffee and chocolate in the nose on this one, luxuriant almost. Sweet balanced malt flavors, a bit nutty with a backdrop of coffee. Great coffee finish with a kiss of hops and no lack of malt backbone to finish it out.

Sampled at the Brewery. Pours dark brown and creamy with a creamy tan head. Explosive aroma of espresso, roasted grains and hints of chocolate. Taste is thick and velvety, definitely an oatmeal influence with more roasted grains, chocolate and coffee bitterness. Such a complex and tasty beer.
