| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 11, 2008 Brewer’s Jam. Pours a near black with some ruby color and a fair tan head. Coffee is certainly apparent in the aroma and is well shaped. Hints of butter, wax chocolate, and biscuits are also noted. The mouthfeel is just medium, but makes the coffee flavor refreshing. Yeah, roast, coffee are apparent, but the finish doesn’t do this justice. Hints of toffee, biscuits, and wax chocolate are noted. Drinkable, but muddled. brentfeesh (1039), Gadsden, Alabama, USA
