3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Aroma is fantastic on this beer. Heavenly espresso/ cold press (I drink both every day). Appearance is very low in carbonation, no head. Taste is very coffee heavy. Like only coffee. It has a mild "green" bitterness from the coffee. If they barrel aged this it would be legit! Palate is very light and thin. If this was barrel ages and the alcohol was kicked up a bit, we would have a 4.5+!
