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.

Pours dark brown/black, with a small tan head. Aromas of coffee, chocolate, roasted malt, and hops. Flavor is sour malt, coffee, and chocolate. Body is a little too thin. Thanks to Dough77 for this one.

a lot of coffee here, but today’s big stouts can throw this for the sink. not bad, though. a bit tart/acidic, and slightly watery--suprisingly. not that sweet, but good, anyway.

Couleur noire foncée, abrité d’une mousse brune aux grosses bulles savonneuses. Arômes de vieux café, de crème glacé à l’expresso et bien malheureusement de légumes bouillis. Flaveurs de malt beaucoup plus brûlé que torréfiées rappelant les pneus échaufés. Encore une fois, beaucoup de flaveurs de DMS, choux et mais bouilli, semblant complètement inapproprié, surtout pour le style. Mince, presque dépourvue de toute forme d’effervescence et surtout acidité en bouche. La texture mince en bouche rappelle davantage un style porter qu’un stout. Dommage!

Sweet chocolate ice cream and boiled cabbage with some notes of strong, bitter and burnt coffee. Opaque brown body with dense, fine-bubbled though thin, tan-brown head that leaves some sudsy lacing as it recedes to ring. Bitter-sweet chocolate, mild vegetables and a fair roasty coffee flavour with dark malt bitterness peering out towards the finish. Medium body with very low carbonation that is quite lifeless. Bottle (trade, Dec. 2004) sampled with MartinT, Olivier_MTL and Rastacouere. Thanks, Degarth!

The Lure:
Greens and prevalent roastiness don’t blend well imho. Stale coffee and...can I get my nose away from this?

The Festivities:
Roasted malt bitterness and stale coffee flavors face the aforementioned assorted veggies, coming in slowly from the back. Mouthfeel recalls porters more than stouts. Fizzy carbonation and tartness detract from the coffee stout appellation.br>
Transcendence:
There’s a well-thought out place for every seed in your garden.
