Jan 22, 2009 Sampled from 12-oz bottle and shared by Badgerben. Pours a hazy dark cola brown brew with a thin off-white head that quickly dissipates to a fine film and thin off-white ring. Aroma of caramel malt and dark coffee, some chocolate and a hint of pear. Taste is medium bodied, with flavors of mostly coffee and roasted caramel malt. Finish continues the dark coffee aftertaste that hides most other flavors.

Jan 18, 2009 12 oz bottle courtesy of Acknud. Pours a cloudy mahogany color with a 1/2" off white head. Nose is coffee and caramel. Mouthfeel is a bit thin with an apprpriate amount of carbonation. The first few sips were strong coffee, but then the coffee flavor begins to lose its intensity and stays in the background while the caramel sweetness takes over. Good sipping brew, though I probably wouldn’t want more than one at a sitting.

Jan 15, 2009 Somewhat hazy brown pour with off white head. The nose is roasted malt and touches of coffee. The flavor is sweet carmel malt, moderately bitter hop bite and substantial roasted coffee notes. Pretty decent beer.

Jan 14, 2009 Bottle. Cloudy, dark brown pour with burgundy highlights. Short, off-white head, mostly diminishing. Aroma dominated by coffee beans and caramel with a hint of dough and chocolate. The flavor is heavily sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. The finish is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. Thin body with a watery texture. Lively carbonation. This is a watery, but aromatic, cup of coffee with five teaspoons of sugar and maybe a little cream thrown in. Interesting and tasty, but the sweetness rides on the edge of being cloying. Don’t think I could drink more than one at a sitting.

Jan 14, 2009 Thin pour. Looks like cofee from the pot. Brown. Thin tan head that quickly disippates. Cofee, light fruit, hops on the nose. Carbonated thin mouthfeel with coffee up front. Pretty dominating over anything sweet. Tastes like a cold cup of coffee. Unique. Another breakfast beer.

Jan 13, 2009 Not bad. Amber pour with a 1 inch head. Sediment in bottom. Heavy coffee aroma. Taste is a blend of coffee and sweet malt. Nice little alcohol kick as well.

Jan 9, 2009 This one didn’t work out. Some coffee and malt, but the coffee does not blend well with the caramel bock flavors. Brown color. Far from their best.
