Feb 1, 2009 Bottle dark brown body with minimal head. I got a nutty coffee bean taste but not overwhelming cappuccino taste one might expect. A good ale with a above ABV.

Jan 31, 2009 Pours dark brown with small head. Some coffee and chocolate malt in both taste and aroma - not very complex, reasonably balanced. Thin mouthfeel, which is disappointing. Overall not very exciting or interesting.

Jan 28, 2009 2008 Bottle - Pours dk dk transparent amber with a nice tan head...aroma is fruity creamy, cacao...flavour is similar, porterish and a bit ashy, has a metallic jalapeno quality at the end...wtf, bitter chocolate, decent, nice to see a Lagunitas label that isn’t a hop bomb, maybe this was invented by the apprentice...

Jan 24, 2009 Bottled. I loved this one with the very strong coffee aroma and flavor. Really heavy finish.

Jan 23, 2009 Bomber thanks aptly to lagunitasfan. Pours a clear and very dark brown/red color with a nice frothy light brown head. A really nice nose; sweet roasted cappuccino flavors mostly, some light fruitiness also. The flavor is dominated by a rich chocolate and milky cappuccino, very rich, decadent and extremely fresh and natural. Sweet and very creamy, some light bitterness in the finish. Nice. A top-ten mid-morning brew.

Jan 20, 2009 THOUGHTS: One of those wonderful coffee beers that even has the sourness of coffee. The only other one I’ve had like this was Meantime Coffee porter. Hid alcohol well.
TECHNICAL: Bottle. Poured a dark brown, that look black in the glass until held to the light when it became a bright red. It had a small to average, off-white head that fully diminished. The aroma was mostly just sour coffee. The flavor stared out a little sweet and more bitter and sour, while it finished mostly sour with an average to long duration. There was sour coffee, dark roasted malt and a little chocolate. The medium to full body was oily with fizzy carbonation and an astringent finish.
