Oct 22, 2008 12oz bottle acquired in trade with ughsmash (thanks!). Mmmm, coffee, I love coffee in my beer! Poured a deep orangish color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of coffee, roast, earthy/dirt, and some chocolate. Tates of coffee, vanilla cream, caramel, and lighter earthiness.

Jan 31, 2009 Thanks to goldtwins for sharing this one. Amber brown beer with a thin white head. Aroma is quite coffeeish and fairly rich smelling. Soft sweet toasty caramel behind it. Much lighter in colour and flavour than every other coffee beer that I’ve had, but still quite coffeeish. A touch of light sweetness and fresh herbal coffee. I like this actually.

Sep 3, 2008 Bottle: Copper color with just a hint of red. Taller, billowy cream colored head. Burnt coffee along with some hints of canned chile peppers(DMS). The DMS subsides, but you are still left with a pile of spent coffee grounds. LIght malt start. A pale lager or ale backdrop. An odd green pepper flavor mixed with instant coffee. I had this on tap at the Wisconsin State Fair and thought it better than this. Finish and linger are quite dry in feel, but there are some sweet coffee hints and a herbal hops bite. Not my cup of joe. I have tastes of Cave Creek and coffee that I must now get rid of.

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.

Nov 19, 2008 12 ounce bottle from some liquor store in southern Wisconsin, summer 2008, served initially quite cold. Hazy dark copper, nearly opaque, with a thick lasting tan head that laces just a bit as it fades....loads of rough dark coffee in the aroma, a bit of caramelized malts, some burnt black chocolate, a hint of thyme and other indefinable aromatic spices, quite lovely....great nutty, roasty coffee flavor that somehow integrates well with the light grainy dry lager characteristics, a touch of dry twiggy hops, quite intense and rich for this style, enough so that this feels more like a sippin’ beer than a quaffing one despite its lightness and relatively low ABV....moderate carbonation, strong lasting finishing bitterness. A beauty.

Nov 4, 2009 Bottle from allendodd. Thanks for this and all the others! Pours a ruddy copper with a three-finger beige head. It laced a bit. Aroma is coffee. Medium body with frothy carbonation. Flavor is mostly coffee. There’s some dark malt underneath. Lager? Ok. But it can stand up against a lot of porters and stouts. Damn tasty ale, er lager!!!
