Hmmm.... nitro but still smells of coffee and well, cardboard and ether. Taste...dear god iknow this taste. I am 12 years old at murphy park behind the fence of the water system concrete whTever huffing scotchguard with bryan cook. This is that flavor that is left on my tongue when i come to choking on a rag. Not good. But at least i can’t drown because my lungs are now waterproof.

Pint at the brewery. Pours very dark and still. The aroma is very ashy. The coffee notes seem more suggested than genuine. Still, it smells good. Palate is slick and the honey becomes apparent in the flavor. It’s more an afterthought, providing balance for the bitter, roasty notes. The coffee is more authentic in the flavor and is highly roasty, almost burned tasting. Not too bad, but falls short of huge hypothetical potential as honey+coffee sounds pretty magical to me.

Pours an opaque brown, on nitro. Malty smell. Typical light milk stout taste. Forgettable in Denver, the city of 168 brewery's. ---Rated via Beer Buddy

Pours a brownish black color. I am torn as to whether the honey and coffee work together. Almost. I think a little more roastiness would add to this one.

On draught at brewery. Coffee flavors comement dry maltiness. Medium body. Dry finish. Ok.

Black color, dark brown head. Roasted, sweet, hoppy, grains, malty taste. Dry, grainy, bitter aftertaste. Smooth mouthfeel, high bitterness.

(Draught) Pours an opaque black body with a small tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, chocolate, vanilla, and coffee. Flavor of roasted malt, earth, pine, earth, honey, and coffee with a dry, bitter finish.

On tap @ Strange, pours a very dark brown with a lacy ta head. Super roasty malts and bitter coffee dominate the aroma. Drinks with tons of dark roast coffee and dark malts. Medium mouthfeel, smoothness from the honey, roasty with bitter hop aftertaste.

Pours black with brown head. Both the coffee and honey character are just ok. Decent beer.

on nitro-pours black with a light brown head and trailing lace. Aroma is citrus, then roasty dark malt. Taste is citrus/pine hops, then sweet/roasty dark malt.
