Draught at Mountain Sun in Boulder, on October 8, 2012
Dark reddish brown color, tan head. Sweet, roasted scent. Roasted, malty, a bit campfire taste. Roasted aftertaste. Medium to spritzy mouthfeel, medium high bitterness.

Pint. A great finishing beer. A heavy, but not overpowering aroma of coffee beans, very smooth, even better on nitro.

On tap @ Southern Sun. Dark mocha colored pour with an incredible creamy latte head that left nothing but a milky coat inside the glass. Aroma of dark roasted coffee, cocoa, and honey. Similar flavor with the coffee really making itself known. Unlike some coffee beers that taste like used grinds, this is fresh and flavorful. Very thick and chewy mouthfeel. Really good.

On tap at the brewpub. Pours deep brown with a creamy tan head. Aroma is very nice, rich roastiness, coffee, dark chocolate, a touch of burnt toast. Flavor also has a great coffee character, really well balanced with the dark chocolate and slightly burnt malt notes. Finishes creamy with a lasting espresso and bitter cocoa. Medium to medium full body and a soft carbonation. Really nicely done

Sampled at the brewhouse. Very well flavored brew with a very coffee base and nice porter finish. Pours very dark and has high quantity of malt. Well done.

The nose is quite roasty with a bit of coffeeish character. There is a touch of licorice and lots of heavy coffee flavour. No vegetal character at all. Sweet and light cocoa along with a touch of roastiness. Sticky on the finish. Creamy palate that works well. They’ve done a very good job with this coffee beer.

Growler via BBB63. The beer pours to a dark brown/black body with very little head. The aroma is strong oatmeal and coffee. The flavor is rich coffee and oatmeal with tart lactic acid and milk/dark chocolate. The palate is medium bodied, acetic, and tart.

Draft. Deep brown body. Frothy, thick tan head. The aroma is strong with roasted grain, coffee and chocolate. Notes of caramal and a hint of licorice. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly sweet and moderately bitter. Medium body, velvety texture and lively carbonation. Rock solid coffee porter. No one flavor, including the coffee, is overwhelming. Great mouthfeel and easy drinking.

Sampler at the Mountain Sun Pub & Brewery, Boulder 12/10/2008 Coffee roast aroma. Small tan head. Dark red coloured a little rich on the palate and fruity with a crisp and slightly bitter roast finish.

Draught. High creamy and long lasting light brown head. Lovely mild coffee aroma. Soft sweet mild creamy coffee choccolate flavor with little hops bitternes. Low carbonation. Long sweet coffee aftertaste.
