From a 12oz bottle - Pours a clear root beer color with small quickly dissipating head. Below average carbonation. Smells only of coffee and not much else in the nose. First sip is all coffee and more coffee. There is a fairly nice malt backbone. Very nice, very drinkable. Excellent bitter finish.

Jan 3, 2009 12 ounce bottle. Pours dark brown with some nice ruby red highlights when held to light. Nice tan head. Nice cup of Joe aroma. The flavor has a nice bit of coffee with some caramel character. Ahh, the problem arises. This think is water thin and just kind of disappears from you palate. Not bad, but certainly leaves you wanting.

Dec 31, 2008 Darker brown color with a sweet aroma of dark breads, coffee, and prunes. Flavor is quite sweet with a big coffee/burnt sugar and chocolate mix. Flavorful, but thin at the end. Nice coffee brew.

Dec 29, 2008 Pours dark brown with a frothy light brown head. Aroma is moderatly malty of cookies, lightly hoppy piney notes, lightly yeaty maybe bananas and definatly coffee. Flavor is well balanced with espresso roast and crystal carmel malts, heavily bitter and slightly burnt flavors. Medium bodied, oily and lively carbonated.

Dec 26, 2008 Murky brown with thin head. Big coffee aroma and tast is right up my alley. Balanced with good dose of sweet malt with some chocolate and minimal bitterness. Many coffee beers come off overly bitter and astringent, but this is not at all. Smooth and full of coffee.

Dec 25, 2008 Pours a brownish color with thin off white head. Aroma is roasted coffee, sweet malt, and a light spiciness. Taste is intense roasted coffee with the sweet malt and light fruitiness coming in the end. Easy drinking if you are into coffee. It is funny how well coffee goes with a doppelbock compared to a stout.
