Nov 23, 2009 12 oz. bottle. Pours a clear deep reddish copper color with a fine beige head that fizzes away. The aroma is dark caramel malt with a touch of sweetness, lots of roasted and coffee comes in to take over the initial sweetness. This is more like an iced coffee aroma than the typical hot black coffee found in many beers. The flavor is sweet dark caramel flavor balanced with an iced coffee character, light earthy notes, and a touch of bitterness in the finish. Medium bodied at best. The coffee didn’t work as well for me in this beer as it would in a stout. I don’t think the body or the other flavors were present to support the coffee in this beer.

Nov 22, 2009 strong java aroma with some plain grainy malts. flavor is a bitter long lasting coffee, perhaps the most pure expression of coffee (or tastiest) i’ve ever experienced in any style of beer. some level of sweetness as well, but its real character is lost amongst the joe. big crunch of chocolate covered espresso beans not unlike breakfast stout. little to no dopplebock character but this is too delicious for me to care.

Nov 21, 2009 Cloudy auburn pour w/ 1.5 finger head, overpowering coffee aroma coated in jalapeno brine, really aggressive, almost obnoxious coffee flavor. Can’t decide if I love it or hate it, intrigued or put off, interesting and unique enough that I’d say you have to try it.

Nov 20, 2009 Wow, lots of jalapeno and bitterness. Sour and sharp. Not really reminds me off coffee. Cold and dead on the tongue. Other oat and feedbag malts. Some hops rounding the end. Pretty good, but I’m not sure I would actually get this again. The initial taste was really off putting. Once that first sip is done, it does get better. I’d suggest letting this warm up.
