4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
A sweet, cakelike aroma gets things off to a fine start, but a yeasty scent sets in pretty quickly. Foamy topper. It tastes great - caramel, coffee, molasses, with nippy hops in the closing, followed by a warm tingle. This hits the target for sure - excellent brew.

On the light side, looks like a porter. Nose is terrific, strong coffee and caramel malt. Taste is very strong coffee and sweet caramel maltiness, finishes slight chocolate, coffee lingers for a long time. Coffee drinkers must.

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Clear dark brown with a beige head that fades to a coat. Aroma of coffee, brown sugar, dried fruit, mild chiles, roasted malt. Quite sweet with coffee, chocolate, dried fruit, mild chiles. Finish leans towards dry and bitterness builds. Despite the prominence of the coffee it’s pleasantly balanced, but there’s not an awful lot going on considering its strength.

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Aroma is just a lot of coffee. Tastes like raw black coffee. When I was a kid I would eat raw coffee beans straight up. Tastes just like this. Coffee is bitter but there is plenty of sweetness to balance this out. Toffee sweetness and some chocolate. Plums and figs at some points. Slightly roasted too. Totally dominated by coffee beans but there is some more to this. Enjoyable beer.
