Jul 15, 2007 22 oz bottle. Pours a dark black, a thick brown head, which walks away quickly. Aroma and flavor of smokey, roasted malt, espresso, and chocolate. Sweet roasted maltiness. I really enjoy the flavor and aroma, but I am a bit dissapppointed in the light to watery mouthfeel. It is a bit distracting, but still a decent porter.

Jul 10, 2007 Bottle. Roasty aroma which is burnt charcoal and espresso. The coffee is a bit lighter in the flavor though, which makes it very easy drinking. Nice balance.

Jun 29, 2007 Updated: Jul 15, 2007Bottle (mini caffeine beer tasting). Head is initially average sized, frothy, brown, mostly lasting. Body is black. Aroma is moderately malty (roasted grain, coffee, dark chocolate), lightly hoppy (grapefruit), with a note of minerals. Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly to moderately bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly acidic, moderately bitter. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Decent, but not that special.

Jun 8, 2007 Enticing roasted coffee aroma. Deep crimson brown pour with a faint tan head. Tastes like a brown porter - I sense some caramel, chocolate and crystal malt flavors with a nice presence of coffee bean. Nothing overwhelming. Mildly astringent and slightly sour. Fairly thin and watery. A fairly good quaffer but I would prefer more roast and body. Thank Markus!

Jun 1, 2007 Black w/ big brown head. Coffee aroma. Was surprsied at how light this beer was until I saw it’s only 5%...definitely one of the lighter and more sessionable coffee beers out there. Nothing crazy, but I enjoyed it. Ultra smooth and a bit creamy. I definitely prefer more beefed up versions of this; almost no roasted malt taste in this.
