estoppel (934), Buffalo, New York, USA May 9, 2008 Bottle. Cola color, clear, medium light tan (cola) head, not much nose, some malty notes. Malty, somewhat sweet, moderate bitterness, some noble hop notes. Snoop59 (3), Penn Run, Pennsylvania, USA does not count May 5, 2008 Updated: May 6, 200812 oz. bottle pours a clear amber brown with an off white frothy head that dissipates fairly quickly. Light malty aroma with hints of caramel and bread. Flavor is a sugary sweet malt with a clean finish. The mouthfeel is smooth and creamy with soft carbonation. Overall, a well crafted brew. BeerZack (108), Austin, Texas, USA May 4, 2008 Medium brown, fairly clear and light penetrable. Small thin ring of white foam.
Sweet and rich malt smells. Very nutty (roasted almond, pecan) with some caramel.
Rich almond and toffee notes, some bitter cocoa or slight espresso maybe. Not as sweet as the nose implies, some dryness and alcohol present. Warmingly alcoholic.
Fairly strong carbonation, medium heavy mouthfeel. Pretty drinkable. WesKBob (82), Bethany, Oklahoma, USA May 1, 2008 A very one dimensional beer. Pours a clear brown color with a nice off-white head that lasts quite a while. Good lacing. Aroma is malty, with lots and lots of coffee overtones and a faint "mediceny" quality, like the smell of a band-aid. From there, this beer is a one-trick pony. Lots of roasted coffee flavor, but not much else. It’s possible, I just got a bad bottle but I really couldn’t find much to recommend this beer. dkachur (391), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA Apr 30, 2008 Bottle from Market Street Wine Shop, North Location, Charlottesville. Pours reddish brown with a BIG head. Aroma of caramel, brown sugar and banana. Very malty taste. Toffee, brown sugar, a little alcohol. Thick feel.
