Jul 25, 2008 Deep caramel in color with a creamy tan head. Stunning nose of pure coffee and malt. The palate is lighter. I like the lager as a base as something different than a coffee stout. Definite coffee notes with a solid bitterness. Hints of dark bitter chocolate and more coffee on the finish. Another stunning beer from furthermore!! These guys just don’t disappoint...

Aug 28, 2008 Light brownish amber color. Smells more like cold coffee then any coffee stout or porter I have ever drank. I would guess the lagar base allows more of the coffee aromoas to come threw and not be masked by characteristics of the darker styles. Taste is crisp and light, but so full of coffee. Fairly one dimensional, but who cares when the coffee aspect works so well. Basiclly your summer coffee beer. Such a great idea. This stuff is amazing, and ridiculously priced at 8 bucks a sixer. Im buying a case.

Aug 4, 2008 Yes - the commercial description nails this - it is like a summer-y coffee beer. And I thought it to be perfect for a warm summer day (in my case, walking around in the sun at the WI State Fair). It is roasty and chocolate-y, with a touch of Belgian Dubbel like fruitiness. Mouthfeel was quite refreshing and appropriate for a beer that is both supposed to be refreshing and extremely flavorful. It isn’t sticky and thick - it is light and a bit thinner than a coffee stout might be. I was really impressed with this beer; I thought it was summer beer and the most impressive summer seasonal I’ve had in recent memory.
A very unique beer.
I would highly recommend this beer. I had this on-tap at the Benno’s beer tent at the WI State Fair.

Oct 2, 2009 Lovely lovely nose of coffee and mild hops. Nice deep brown color. I was shocked to find out this was a lager since the malt/hop balance was so well done. The flavor is of coffee and top quality brown ale even though its a lager.

Jun 11, 2009 Pours a medium brown with a hint of red with only a trace of off-white head. Aromas of black coffee, toasted malt, and earthy hops. Flavor is crisp, clean, and refreshing with unsweetened iced coffee with a hint of cream, milk chocolate, and a hint of roasted malt. The coffee character is perfectly balanced with respect to the style reflecting both the brewer’s skill and the quality of the boutique coffee used. Exceptionally smooth and wall rounded - this is a great effort!!

Aug 12, 2008 Dark copper color with an off-white head that retains really well and leaves good lacing. Smell is strong with fresh roasted coffee, a touch of chocolate, and slightly nutty. Taste is of a medium roast coffee, bitter chocolate and pecans. Medium carbonation and a bit more than medium bodied. This is a very interesting and good beer. More coffee flavor than some coffee stouts even.

Jul 28, 2008 Dark brown color with a large head. Aroma of a pile of fresh coffee beans. Lots of coffee and nut flavor. Dry malt and light roasted malt. I originally thought this was an excellent blend of a brown ale with coffee. Now that I see it’s based on a brown Mexican lager, I am even more impressed.
