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.

12 oz bottle pours black with a short tan head that fades to a film and laces a little down the sides of the english pint glass. Aroma is straight up roasted coffee. Flavor is quite the same. A touch of chocolate comes through also. Bitter finish. Palate is medium bodied. A very drinkable stout and tasty to a coffe lover like myself. Rather one dimensional though but definitely drinkable.

Bottle courtesy of CharlesDarwin. Bottled the fourth week in December of ’04. Pours a jet-black with a thin chestnut head. Though subtle, the aroma is all rich, roasty coffee. Bitter, sour and roasty malty flavors throughout. Some hints of coffee. A little bit of a sour, coffee-esque bitter finish. This has definitely aged too long. I’d like to try a fresh bottle sometime.

Has a great coffee ground aroma which matches the beer name/ Black body witha tan head. The flavor was weak like watered down coffer with some bitterness. Leaves a coffee aftertaste on palate.

Pours a dark brown color. Smells of dark chocolate, coffee, roast. Taste is dark chocolate more then anything with coffee supporting it from the background. The chocolate was too over the top in my opinion.

Very dark with a tan head that fades away to nothing. Nose coffee, molasses, and wood smoke. Flavor is reasonably rich, coffee is definitely there but not overpowering, balanced with deep molasses sweetness. Somewhat astringent and bitter. Reasonably full body, but feels a bit undercarbonated.

Poured a very dark brown with a medium tan head. Aroma of ash, tangy smoke, and light notes of chocolate. I drink black coffee 2-3 times a day and I don’t smell any in here. Roasted malt flavor with more of the tangy smoke. Flavor is watery and body is light. I was happy about opening this beer. The label made it very appetizing. Big disappointment.

Pours a deep red tinged black, with a nice dense dark tan layer of head that lingers in a nice skim. Some coffee roasted notes, but something else is taking my attention. Something that on one hand makes me think ginger bread, and on the other hand makes me think soy sauce or terriyaki. The soy/charred meat kinds of smells are winning. Flavor is sour and unpleasant. If I swish it around in my mouth I can pick up some nicer flavors--some creaminess, som light coffee roast. But the sourness is the dominant characteristic. The palate could be nice, if the sourness weren’t so distracting. Hard to completely seperate them. I realize I am rating a bad bottle here, and maybe that isn’t fair. But I bought this bottle stored chilled, just a few miles from where it was brewed, and I have kept it cool and dark since then. It is just unacceptable to have this beer be infected, and I think my lousy rating is justified. Though I will give it another taste next time I have the the oportunity.
