YES ALABAMA! growler at DL day. Mostly black pour with a bubbly tan head. Nice roasted coffee aroma with some smooth oatmeal and chocolate notes. Flavor is pretty nice. Chocolate, coffe...lots of really nice coffee. The oatmeal smooths this one out really well. Good!

Had this at DLD 09 thanks to the awesome people from Free the Hops. Poured black with a tan head. Nice carbonation. Aroma is of roasted malt, coffee, chocolate, and grain. Taste was of roasted malt, chocolate, oatmeal, and coffee. Nice lingering coffee taste in the end. Body was lighter than I had expected. Very crisp mouthfeel made this beer an easy drinking one. I really enjoyed this beer.

Stopped by the "Free The Hops!" RV for this bad boy. What a wonderful group of people, friendly, and passionate about their beer freedom. This poured a nice blackish pour, largely opaque, with tannish head that laces and clung a little. Aromas were moderate, pushing nice coffee and roasted malt notes, a touch of sweetness nestled in. Initial was a little light in body for me even with the oatmeal, pushing coffee and roasted malts, the oatmeal sweetened it a bit, but lacked a great body. Still, pretty good and a very appreciated brew!

Courtesy of Free the Hops guys at DLD 09. Nice rich black pour with a dk tan head. Aroma of coffee was amazing. Roasted malt, coffee, great smooth mouthfeel. One I’d like to come across again.

I was given a pour of this from a man in a kilt at Dark Lord Day 09. Big, delicious coffee aroma. Flavor has a lot of chocolate, coffee. Very awesome. nice mouthfeel thanks to the oatmeal. Liked this one quite a bit.

This is their best beer by far. NOT world class but a very good breakfast beer. Poured an tan black with a small lasting brown head. Aromas of coffee, chocolate. Palate was medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of coffee, chocolate with a smooth lingering coffee finish. But I can’t drink this at night well maybe one with cheesecake.

One sniff and you know you are drinking a beverage made with coffee. The flavour is full and rich, without becoming overwhelming. The mouthfeel is creamy and smooth, adding to the overall impression that this is a much bigger beer than its 6% ABV would imply. Try pairing this with a good cheesecake! Another world class beer from Good People.

Draft at 5 points. Nice dark brown pour with some dark tan head. Mild aroma but lots of coffee flavor and an oaty bitterness. I’d drink it again.

Dark brown/black pour, opaque with a thin tan head. Nose full of coffee and roasted malt with a hint of chocolate. Flavor is pretty heavy on the coffee: dark roasted with (again) a hint of chocolate and a touch of hazelnut. Bittersweet with a nice, lingering finish. Very good.
