Crosling (1854), Loveland, Colorado, USA Jul 1, 2005 Nitro head above a dark brown body. Bursting coffee aroma, with hints of juicy malts. In the flavor, the coffee addition wasn’t overdone. It paired well with the dark malts to create a complex roast and fruit flavor. Would be a really good beer if it wasn’t watery and nitrogenated. Murphy (1759), Fort Collins, Colorado, USA Jun 11, 2005 Light coffee nose. Medium lasting head, body is a dark mahogany, clear. Taste is all coffee, very very bitter and mineralized tasting. Not hoppy, bitterness from grains/coffee. Huge roastiness as well. Was too watery though, especially for the style. Good, but somewhat one diminisional.
