Commercial Description:
This is a true dopplebock and Dark Horse Brewing’s only publicly distributed lager. It was so normal that we couldn’t stand it so we made it into a coffee dopplebock. Ha, take that Germany, with your Reinheitsgebot purity law! Anyway, we use fair trade organic coffee from our friends at The Ugly Mug Cafe in Ypsilanti, MI We did a label contest and opened it up to the public for this beer. We had so many awesome entries that we couldn’t just pick one winner so we have 2 labels for this beer. We stagger the bottles in the six packs but with no order in mind.

12 zo bottle: It’s been a while since I rated a beer so here I go. Aroma has a really nice ground coffee scent to it. roasted malt characteristics, and some caramel aroma’s as well. Pours a very cloudy brownish/black almost like coffee with a small off tan head that didsipates into nothing after about a minute. Taste is coffee of course, nice roasted malt characteristic, soemwhat nutty, caramel, and light sticky on the tongue. Palate is very lgihtly carbonated with a lingering coffee aftertaste. Overall, I like coffee so this is right up my alley. The doppelbock characteristics do get drowned out slightly by the coffee, but I like it all this same. Cheers!

This bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a small sized head of foamy finely sized bubbles that were mostly diminishing and left behind a very hazy dark brown colored body and a poor lacing. The mild aroma was malty coffee and funky. The semi-thick mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish. The flavor contained notes of hops roasted malt dark malt and coffee. A decent one that I would consider buying again.

( 12oz bottle ) Pours a lightly hazy deep amber body with a small creamy head. Coffee nose smacks you in the face and talks about your momma with some roasty/nutty background notes. Flavor is aggressively coffee laden with some raisins, earth, caramel, and roastiness rounding it out.

Bottle courtesy of bu11zeye. Cloudy brown colored with little head and lots of sediment apparent. Large coffee scent with some bitterness as well. Flavor is straight from the coffee pot. Tastes bitter but has nice flavorings. Very tasty.

Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Pours with a deep brown body and a small tan head. Aroma is strongly coffee, with metal and minerals. Taste as far as I can tell is just coffee, with some earth and maybe some candied pecans. Light bubbles.

Dark pour with off-white head. Aroma of roasted malt and coffee. Flavor reflects the aroma and finishes crisp and a little dry. I like this beer.
