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.

Deep brown body with reddish highlights, thin dissipating buff head. Milk chocolate aroma with soy and coffee, sweet-smelling. Strangely sweet to tart body, almost lactic, with Hershey’s syrup, coffee beans, and light buttery notes. The astringency of the coffee is negated by the dominant syrupy tartness. A mess of a stout.

Pours deep brown with a small head. Aroma of coffee and dark roasted malt. Tasted a fair amout of american hops. Slightly thinner that other coffee stouts I’ve tasted. Medium body. Needs work.

Pours a deep brown with a modest tannish head. It started out ok. Cold coffee with a hint of mocha. This quickly changed and had an odd bitter/astringint taste. Like someone poured a half shot of vinager in the mix.

Little aroma -- some roasted. Deep black in the lass with a half-inch tan head. Smooth, full palate. Tangy finish shows some hops -- orange and coriander. Drying. Very little coffee presence, which is nice so the coffee doesn’t overpower the beer. Still, a little thin for a stout.

very oily looking dark brown appearance with no head to speak of, even with some prodding. aroma is a lot of coffee and chocolate and some walnut roasted malt stuff going on. the flavor was not as pleasant with tons of harsh black coffee, but not good coffee, more like Foldgers instant. the chocolate was more like hershey’s syrup than milk chocolate. very very oily mouthfeel. ick. i drank too many of these considering i didn’t enjoy it.

Bottle. Sweet and grittily toffeeish nose with strong overtones of roasted coffee. A little mocha. Very dark ruby-brown with a medium-brown head. Taste is all about bitter coffee with a helping of roast. Ugly sour bitterness, in fact, some nice roast with a little sweetener and a little more sticky cherry. Sour cherries in the dry roast finish. Medium oily body. Kinda misses the mark.
