On tap at Bainbridge Street Barrel House in Philly. Pours a deep dark black color with a two finger dense tan head that falls to a thin cap and leaves lots of lacing. Big coffee aroma with some roastiness and a hint of milk chocolate. Taste is very coffee forward and nicely balanced between sweetness and bitterness. Also has some milk chocolate and and a hint of dark fruits and wood. Medium to heavy bodied, with a long lasting bitterness and a drying finish. This would be a wonderful breakfast beer!

Bottle. Pours black with gorgeous creamy tan head. Big coffee aroma. Taste is burnt super coffee.

Pours dark brown with a tan head, very nice lacing. Aroma is overwhelmingly roast coffee. Taste is sweet with coffee bitters, just like a cup of coffee. Medium bodied. Excellent.

Bottle from Capone’s. Pours black with nice brown head that fades is the caramel coffee and roasted malt, first sip is is big coffee flavors, black strap molasses and roasted malt, nice finish. not too big.

Growler shared by eernadz, thanks hunter. Poured a nice dark brown color with huge aromas of fresh pressed coffee and light chocolate. Flavors are roast and coffee with a kiss of cocoa. Thanks hunter for the share.

Bottle from Maris. Pours pitch black with a medium sized brown head that sticks around. The aroma is about as coffee forward as can be.. Just straight coffee bean to the max. Whether you like that or not determines the aroma-rating. The taste makes Wake-n-Bake seem like a child’s coffee beer. This guy is straight alcoholic coffee. That is an awesome thing in my book. It may be one dimensional but it is a great dimension. It is a little thin on palate but that is the only knock.

22oz bottle, thanks Huhzubendah! Poured a dark color without much of a head - perhaps a wispy brown color at best. Aroma is coffee with plenty of roasted and chocolate notes. This is pretty good! Touch of bitterness in the finish like a cup of coffee.

22oz bottle, thanks Huhzubendah. Medium brown head atop black body with brown edge. Aroma is moderately sweet, roast/coffee. Taste is moderately sweet, coffee/roast/ Medium body, some stickiness. One of the truest coffee beers I’ve experienced -- i guess it’s up to the individual to decide whether that’s a good thing.

651mL thanks to Huhzubendah. Pours a deeper black, larger latte foam. Nose is fairy green coffee, sharp hazelnut, intense coffee. Taste is coffee, essentially a cup of coffee. Yes, not much stout or beer character. Thinner, acidic coffee palate. I’ll just brew some coffee instead. I guess a normal cup of coffee would score pretty high on ratebeer.

Bottle courtesy of Huhzubendah, thank you sir! Completely black color, thick brown head with good retention and solid lacing. Aroma of freshly roasted and brewed coffee. Taste is Italian coffee soda. Tasty if you like coffee, and it still has some beer characteristics.
