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 black with brown frothy head receding quickly. Pure espresso aroma, dark roasted coffee beans that have been sitting for 3 weeks. Medium body, first thing I notice is soy sauce, with more coffee. Simple.

shoulderbroken (1125) - Tokyo, JAPAN - MAY 11, 2013
Bottle at the Hangover. Dark brown colour. Small gold head. Taste is sweet initially then coffee later. Quite subtle though. Bit of vanlilla later. Aroma light coffee, dark malty. Not so challenging but pretty easy drinking.

thirdeye11 (4977) - Dallas, Texas, USA - MAY 4, 2013
(12oz bottle) clear thin body, fine wispy bubbles. Nose of cold pressed coffee, chocolate malt balls, cream, fairly simple but smells good. Taste isn’t off putting but nothing amazing, old coffee, cola, bit toasty, thin, tiny bit astringent.

fidemaster (216) - Naperville, Illinois, USA - MAY 4, 2013
Has a pleasant aroma. Has a good look. However it is a bit watery. It has a coffee flavor but its not very complex. Just not very exciting.

kerenmk (1210) - Tel Aviv, ISRAEL - APR 15, 2013
Bottle, BOTM club. Headless opaque black, coffee beans, roast, some old bittersweet chocolate aroma. Sour like old coffee taste, then bitter, a little dry and chocolatey. Medium body, smooth texture, abrupt finish.

Coffee should be ho. Beer should be cold. Overall its a good beer if you are into this style. Me personally thought that they could have atleast made the stout flavor a bit stronger.

drjay44 (2125) - Salida, Colorado, USA - MAR 27, 2013
12 oz. bottle. Pours a medium, poorly retained light beige head, over a clear, dark brown (SRM 35) body....nose is coffee, light chocolate.....taste is coffee, light chocolate, hints of toffee/caramel, slightly sweet, finishing with a coffee, hop bitterness.....mouth feel light, carbonation low, adding slight tingle. This is a fairly dry Sweet Stout. It is also rather simple in both aromas and flavors. That said, it falls within the style and has no major flaws. It is just not particularly interesting. BJCP 7/2/13/4/7

BreWedge (172) - Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA - MAR 22, 2013
355 ml bottle. Pours an oily looking dark brown with a small mocha coloured head. Aromas of molasses, bit of smoke, coffee, and a bit of chocolate. Tastes of coffee, roast malts, and some dark chocolate. Oily texture without much carbonation and a short, dry finish.
