Commercial Description:
Brewed smooth and creamy by the addition of oatmeal, we also used pounds and pounds of Costa Rican coffee, cold pressing it, down to 10 gallons of goodness. Rich and full-bodied, lots of roasted malt, floral hops and oh yes ... coffee, come through on the palate.

This is damn good stuff. This is almost the perfect breakfast beer. Has that kind of coconut nose, and makes me wonder what the SPF of this beer is. Rich and creamy with roasted coffee notes throughout, intermingled with loads of chocolate and cocoa. Although this is really heavy on the maltiness, and is quite sweet as it warms, which detracts slightly from the mouthfeel. Finishes with a dry bitterness reminiscent of chicory. Well done!

nothing beats a morning cup of coffee with breakfast, lots of coffee, roasted malt character showing through, more bitterness in the long finish, would be too much bitterness if not for the rich coffee to balance it out

Well I didn’t expect much from this one, and it didnt deliver much either. Probably drinkable for those who like some bitterness but can’t take the alcohol. F... close to waer, too. Reminds me of a watery Budwiser.

Draught at the brewpub. Pours black with a moderate tan head. Aroma is sweet roasted malt, with noticeable coffee, some dark fruits, and a little bit of alcohol. Flavor is similar notes, quite full-bodied and a bit like a dessert beer, but with enough tanginess to keep from being cloying. Reminds me just a bit of a baltic porter. Excellent.

Wow. Black with a thick off white head. The nose is crazy coffee. Coffee, coffee and more coffee. Velvety smooth palate and tastes like a chocolate covered espresso bean. Awesome.
