thanks to godofthunder for the shariez
huge, fresh coffee grounds in the nose - fresh roasted coffee smells.. incredible. first time i had this joey poured it at the CCB tasting room for me and my insanely hungover friends... did the trick. the cacao nibs are really understated... you gotta focus to pick em up... dont know if that’s good or bad - but either way it’s delicious.

Lingering bitterness in the finish from the coffee. A little too thin. Basically iced coffee with beer in it. Not bad, though. AmEricanbrew (1999), Almost, Texas, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 5, 2009 Growler fill @ the Brewery: Pours a dark brown with ruby tones. Body of pour is thin with a light tan head that diminishes quickly. Aroma smells almost burnt with a coffee bean aroma. Flavor is roasty with hints of vanilla, peppers and expresso. Body was thinner than I expected leaving my palate with mild dry and bitter finish. Easy drinking and enjoyable. tytoanderso (1387), St. Louis Park, Minnesota, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 15/20 | Oct 23, 2009 Old notes. 32oz growler. Ancho peppers, bell peppers, old, stale coffee and some thin chocolate notes on the nose. Pours a nothing too special dark amber. A tad watery looking. Flavor is very simple. Coffee, dry roasty malt and vanilla. Toasty, roasty, thin and watery body. Meh. Really average and the pepper aromas are just... weird. Thanks Bob!
