Mar 11, 2009 On tap at the Bavarian Lodge, Lisle, IL. Served in a trappist glass. A rich, black/brown pour with a thick, foamy, light brown head and solid, clingy lacing. The aroma was roasty, with bitter espresso and dark chocolate and a little cream mixed in. The flavor was also roasty, bitter, espresso, baker’s chocolate, with a little molasses thrown in. Full bodied with a rich, silky mouthfeel. Impressive variation of the style.

Mar 8, 2009 Bottle... Poured a great looking deep brown--almost black--with a light brown head that lasted forever. Aroma of cigarette smoke and coffee. Tasted of roasted grains, soil and had a vinegary aspect to it. It was a good brew but kind of funky.

Mar 4, 2009 Appearance: Dark chocolate with a tan head.
Smell: First impression is a frappacino not beer. A little chocolate and hint of vanilla. Smell roasted malts and a little yeast.
Taste: A medium to full bodied beer. Starts with a nice a sweet coffee flavor transitioning to a little bitterness (but not overwhelming).
Mouthfeel: Has a slight oily consistency but leaves your mouth feeling dry at the end. Has a fizzy light carbonation.
Not something I would drink often. You need to be in the mood for something other than a normal beer. But if you are looking for something between coffee and beer. I think you would like this.

Feb 25, 2009 Bottle. It pours a dark, dark brown body with a reddish glow and a small, tan head. Dry and dusty on the nose, wtih coffee, mocha and some notes of celeriac. The flavor has some sweetness, but is mostly on the dry side, with mocha, coffee, some celeriac and a nice bitterness to finish it off. Full-bodied. A really pleasant coffee-ish beer, even for a non-coffee drinker as me. Maybe a bit one-tracked. (081229)
