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.

Jun 1, 2007 Beer pours black with a tan colored head that is retained and has nice lacing. Aroma is significately coffee also with some smoke and ash, and cream. Flavors of coffee and cream also a bit overly chalky/ashy but not overbearing. Tasty beer.

May 31, 2007 On draft in Seward. Black with tan head, aroma I would expect given the name, and flavors that balanced quite well. Pretty moderate on the coffee and chocolate, sweet and smooth.

May 9, 2007 Bottle shared by puddintane: Pours black with a tan head. Aroma, coffee, chocolate, and an earthiness, nothing to remarkable on the aroma. Flavor, roasted malts, lots of coffee, a nice roasty bitterness, chocolate, and some earthy notes on the finish. If the aroma was half as nice as the flavor this would be great.

May 8, 2007 A really wonderful treat. 22oz bottle from Liquid Solutions. The nose on this baby is immediately powerful, with a lovely aroma of chocolate malt wafting out consistently. It pours viscous and black, with minimal lacing. With an ABV like this, it’s not super rich and heavy, but the coffee tastes like it’s added in a cold filtering process and it’s really well integrated with a solid porter. The result is a beer that’s smooth, complex, and just a bit smoky at the end. Very nice stuff, probably my favorite from this brewery so far.
