3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
thought for sure I had rated this before, but passed on it over and over and turns out that I never rated it. 12oz bottle - pours brown with tan head and good lacing. Nose is coffee grounds. Flavor adds a malty backbone, but the coffee really dominates this beer - not brewed coffee, just coffee grounds. If you love booze and coffee grounds: buy the shit out of this beer. cool label: reminds me of a Slayer album cover (Reign in Blood). Coffee bitterness. OK, so now I’m listening to Raining Blood. Bass level 1 and Treble 5 - thanks Steve Albini!

2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Backlog rating 1-01-2009 (Bottle) When poured, this beer has a small tan smooth semi-fizzy head with poor retention, cloudy body, spotty amounts of lacing, lively, fizzy carbonation, and an orange-brown hue. The Aroma is weak coffee, lightly bitter and smells like cold coffee that has been sitting around for a while. The Flavor is the same as the Aroma. The Palate is tingly and this beer is medium bodied. Overall, I do not like a Dopplebock beer having coffee characteristics of any kind. It is out of place for this style and a beer I will pass on if it comes my way again.
2.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Deep amber color that is brown in the center. Real tiny head that left no retention. Good aroma of strong espresso beans. Taste is not what I was hoping after smelling the armoa. Sour coffee and watery caramel malt. The palate is thin in body, smooth but has a strange harshness in the finish. Harsh off flavor bitterness. Coffee brews are some of my all-time favorites. However, I will not revisit this one.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Dark copper/redish color with frothy, light tan head. Sting coffee and huge toasted/burned malt smell. Milk chocolate, coffee and bitter malt.
1.8 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
12 oz, enjoyed at cellar temp in a wine glass. Pours a murky plum brown. Nice big head that fades fast
Lots of coffee on the nose followed but a disappointing cigarette butt / cigar smoke nose. Taste is pretty disappointing. Tastes like cigarettes, sort of a wheat with a burnt coffee bean finish/
