| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Aug 17, 2009 Bottle courtesy of BeerBelcher opened at my refrigerator reduction tasting on 8/15/09. Pours a clear light brown with a medium tan head. Aroma of coffee. I know that’s a "duh", but I mean a veritable assload of coffee. Also a bit nutty. Full coffee flavor with a bit of sweet caramel. I love me some coffee beers and this one didn’t disappoint. DocLock (4648), Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 17, 2009 Draft at Craft. The pour was hazy golden copper, not what I’d call a dark ale. Nose was fresh brewed coffee, malt. Tasted pale malty and had a lot of coffee flavor, mild jalapeno oil notes, with some finsihing hops. Unique. PorterPounder (3148), Tallahassee, Florida, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 13, 2009 Eagan, Mn. - Cellars Wines and Spirits - 12 oz bottle. Medium copper pour, very light spritzy white head. Smoky accents in the aroma with hints of chipotle peppers. Same peppery notes in the flavor. Some coffee is present as well - the day old, bottom of the pot variety - peppers and coffee dominate. Mouthfeel is about par for the style - very dry as well. Interesting concept - not sure if it will start a groundswell of imitators. tennisjoel (951), Shakopee, Minnesota, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 6, 2009 Here we have another unique beer from Furthermore. A coffee lager. Coffee is the main player here. Not a lot of hops noticed, but they do play a role. This is a hard to describe beer but I must say it is very tasty, and another winner from these guys. deyholla (760), Bloomington, Indiana, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 30, 2009 Bottle. Pours a dark amber with a light brown head. Aroma is dominated by a coffee smell, almost exactly like coffee beans. Flavor is dominated by coffee flavors as well and taste some what like an iced coffee. There are no usual beer flavors of malts or hops. Definitely different as I am used to having my coffee flavored beers in a stout. Nightfall (647), Athens, Greece

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 16, 2009 12oz bottle from my Secret Santa - thanks, Santa! An unassuming look, like a reddish/orange generic beer, for such a bold coffee-dominated brew. Aroma is FRESH coffee, oily bean ready to be ground, along with nice malts. Nice smooth mouthfeel, and a deep, balanced flavor that actually recalls Bells Java to me. Surprising and very enjoyable.
