3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
This beer was drank out of a bottle so hard to tell the consistancy of it along with the head. The beer has a good caramel coffee flavor with a slight taste of the alcohol following on the palate. A good beer.

UPDATED: MAY 24, 2012 Very much like a coffee stout but without the thickness and creaminess. Refreshing light coffee flavor draws you in, tasting very much of coffee infused/blended ales, not two separate favors . Golden red color with short head. Palate wasn’t perfect as a bit watery around the front end, but finished with a solid coffee.
A new personal favorite.

Deep caramel in color with a creamy tan head. Stunning nose of pure coffee and malt. The palate is lighter. I like the lager as a base as something different than a coffee stout. Definite coffee notes with a solid bitterness. Hints of dark bitter chocolate and more coffee on the finish. Another stunning beer from furthermore!! These guys just don’t disappoint...

A beautiful lager. Brewed out of the greatest state in the nation, this beer has a glorious flavor of bitter hops and coffee. Give this a try. That’s for you carythedude.

First off, this has the best coffee smell I’ve had in a beer to date. It smells like coffee, dark roasted coffee. It pours amber, red, not black - and this is a huuuge selling point for me because I’m sick of coffee beers that pour black: The reasoning is that coffee is a dark/malty/biscuity taste and when you pair that with a dark/roasted beer you almost always wind up with just "burnt coffee".
This is not burnt, it is smooth, dark, roasted coffee.
This - is - a - fantastic - coffee - beer.

Thanks to BA tenderbranson69 for sharing this beer, poured chilled into my DFH signature glass.
A - A lightly hazed dark crimson, very good clarity considering the coffee and 2 fingers of light cream -again nice considering the oils of the beans. Streams of lace collect and hold well.
S - The beer is redolent of cold brewed coffee which is pleasant w/ a malty caramel note and light chalky nose
M - A mild malt texture w/ moderate effervescent feel. A nice spice note is felt w/ slightly creamy feel and mild sweet finish
T - The taste is mild w/ coffee at first w/ more nutty coffee mixed w/ an earthy toast taste and light hop flavor. There is a subtle fruit element similar to apple w/ a yeast taste in the finish
D - This is a fine Cali Common. I once brewed a Steam beer based on an Anchor clone recipe w/ cold brewed Panamanian coffee, but this is more seemless in flavor, which is good. The base beer isn’t overwhelmend by the beans-well done!

pours a rich foamy head where you have to stop the pour unless it overflows the pint glass.
Rich color,darker then a brown but not black.
Flavor is rich and gains character as it gets warmer - this beer MUST be room temp to truly enjoy.
Mouth feel is is warm and furry velvety,
But the true surprise is once the brew passes your tongue and travels down the after taste is magnificent - a WOW effect.
