Feb 12, 2008 Updated: Jan 28, 2009"A cross between a Scotch Ale, an IPA, and an American Pale"??? Hmmm.... more like a stout and an IPA.
Pours and keeps a nice beige head. Good roasty barley taste throughout, with strong hints of chocolate and lighter hints of coffee. A nice dark brown... good balance of hops and malt. Pretty thick palate. Slight alcohol burn. Not too far from a stout.

Feb 12, 2008 Updated: Feb 28, 2008Is that a picture of coffee beans on the label? Nose-clearing aroma of hops and alcohol. Flavor is full and well-hopped, with coffee, malt, and noticable alcohol in there too. The flavors clash a little, and It is not as good as I had hoped, but it does get points for originality. An odd alliance between a brown ale and an IPA.

Feb 12, 2008 Every Dogfish head beer Ive had just keeps getting better and better. This beer is amazing dark color with a nice head. The beer has a good roast flavor to it, one of my favorite Dogfish Head!

Feb 11, 2008 Poures a dark amber. Frothy tan head and tastes of roast, coffee and chocolate. The hops are present in this beer, it was a little bit dry though. Overall pretty good.

Feb 9, 2008 Updated: Feb 17, 2008What the hell this tastes like a Dogfish head! Uck! ....
No just kidding this was pretty good. This would be a good session beer and it doesn’t seem like it is a 7.2% beer. Has a good balance of hops, malts, and brown sugar. Not overbearing in the least.

Feb 8, 2008 Aroma is heavy hoppy with some coffee, barely and butter. Upon pouring there is a frothy light brown head that goes away pretty quickly. The body color is black (nearst makes no difference, right?). Decent lacing. Flavor is alcohol and coffee at first with a bitter and somewhat salty finish. Dry body with a bit too fizzy carbonation. Quite drinkable, but not as good as some of DFH’s other products.

Feb 7, 2008 Pours a deep brown with a thick cream-colored head. Aroma is of coffee and hops. First sip is full of coffee and dark chocolate maltiness. It is like a dry stout, but hoppy and full of flavor. Very heavy beer, one of these and I need a break. Good stuff.

Feb 5, 2008 Pours dark brown color with minimal head. Most aromatic Ale I’ve encountered. Big flavor profile with a lot going on. Kind of reminds me of Guiness Stout but more complex. Hop bitterness nicely balanced with rich, dark, sweet malts. Seems a bit too much alcohol on the palate but I think that sensation may be enhanced by the ginger flavor. If you are looking for a brew with big favors give this a try. Well recommended.
