Commercial Description:
This unique stout combines the flavor of roasted malts and Milwaukee's reknown FUEL CAFE coffee. The fine balance of mild hops, the gentle acidity of choice cofee and the sweetness of the barley makes this an unforgettable brew.

Saw this one around a lot lately and picked up a bottle. For a stout, even a sweet stout, this is still too thin for me. Pours a watery black with a bone head not too thick. Doesn’t lace especially well. Aroma is burnt coffee and chocolate. Taste is also thin, sweet and too sugary. No depth here. Needs more roastiness.

Bottle. Pours jet black with a hint of ruby highlights at the edges of the glass and a small but lasting tan head that leaves some lacing. Huge aroma of coffee and roasted malt. Taste is the same as aroma. Medium mouthfeel with a medium amount of bitterness and roasty finish. Very good.

Totally dark appearance with a small, mocha colored head that faded to zero. Roasted malt aroma with coffee (go figure) dominating. The roasted malts deliver some sweetness, with a trace of dried fruit, to the flavor, balanced with a modest amount of hops. The medium-bodied mouthfeel lead to a long lasting, slightly cloying, finish.

Pours a opaque black colour with a small fizzy tan head. Nose of roasted coffee, mollasses, dark malts, hints of dark fruits, hopps, and metallic. Initial taste of dark fruits moving into a roasted coffee beans that really represent the backbone. Finishing with a lingering roasted coffee and light hops & dark chocolate on the palate. Decent duration & warming palate, slight head retention. Medium to full body.

12 oz. bottle coutesy of Acknud. Pours almost dead black, the color of black coffee. Coincedence, I think not. Nose is strongly of coffee. Taste is as you would expect from reading the commercial description, COFFEE. There are some roasted malts in the background. There is none of the usual caramel, toffee, & chocalate flavors usually found in stouts. Good creamy mouthfeel.

Had this beer on 1/16/2004. Aroma is a rich sweet roasted malt scent. Color is a dead on solid black. Carbonation looks good with a thin tight head. Taste is rich and dry. Starting with a full body it goes down rich with a slightly sharp feel. Finish is a nice sweet roasted malt flavor backed by a gentle bitterness and end with a nice dry feel. I don’t taste any coffee flavors and is just a hair too sweet for a Stout.

From the bottle, courtesy of Secret Santa, pours black with a bubbly brown head, not much by way of lacing. Smells a dark roasted malts, and there’s a bitterness in the aroma as well. Taste is bitter, a bit milky. There’s a sweetness to it that is unexpected, especially given the aroma. Also quite smooth, I’d compare this to a milk stout, specifically Duck Rabbit Milk Stout. This doesn’t taste as much like coffee as I expected from the name and commercial description, which doesn’t bother me. Not bad.
