Jun 29, 2008 A Sim rate (tap at Spuyten Duyvil): Espresso, espresso, espresso. It’s coffee. Nothing beer about it. Very stouty look. Way too much coffee in the flavour. I love the taste because I love coffee but there’s no subtlety to it so not a great score. All gimmick, no grace.

Jun 28, 2008 Black pour from the bottle with a very small tan head. Aromas and flavors are of one thing...good coffee. One of the more pronounced coffee flavored beers I have had. Good thing I like coffee!

Jun 25, 2008 on tap at 1702 deep black with small tan head but nice lacing. aroma of burnt coffee and burnt biscuit. flavor is up front roasted malt and a lingering coffee finish. roastiness reallycomes through and the coffee isnt overpowering but definitely is a major component. nice beer. I have never seem this on tap before, nice job Austin.

May 31, 2008 Pours black with light tan foam. Extremely unique aroma swirling with strong vanilla and sweet rice notes, burnt malts, chocolate, dark fruit, and mellow coffee. Flavor is also extremely unique, a great combination of mellow sweet notes and slight coffee bitterness. Cacao, vanilla, coffee, with cream and sweet rice. Very pleasantly surprised with this one, points added for originality.

May 26, 2008 Appears black in the glass. Full, large, well-developed light tan foam. Nose has an expressive espresso character, with mocha, dark roast coffee and a touch of chocolate and vanilla. Lots of taste, with a really impressive coffee character. Finish lasts and lasts. What else to say. Just a really impressively crafted beer. If I were in Ibaraki, I’d drink this daily.
