Aroma of light coffee. Strong flavor of light coffee, roasted barley, and pennies. Light mouthfeel and kind of weak for a porter.

Dec 15, 2009 Draft: Charred barley nose. Clear, dark brown, thick tan head, good lacing. Chocolate flavor starts sweet and takes on a more bitter coffee character in the end. A bit watery, but a tasty porter, in its own right.

Dec 13, 2009 Draught at Pony Bar, New York
Black color. Light coffee aroma. Dry mouthfeel, weak body, average coffee flavor and light dark chocolate. Ordinary bitterness. Dry Stout, not impressive.

Dec 12, 2009 In bottle; good beer. Didn’t enjoy the first sip as it was different than I was expecting but after that, really enjoyed it. Full coffee taste for sure, if you don’t enjoy coffee, probably won’t like this one

Dec 9, 2009 I didn’t like the other beers by Kona all that much. This beer I thought had a great flavor profile with good coffee notes. It was very smooth and lightly carbonated.

Dec 9, 2009 Dark pour with a light tan head,expected something a little darker from this one. Aroma of roasty, nutty, and coffee. Flavor suprisingly smooth for a coffee beer,light hop bitterness, but almost no dark chocolate coffee bitter finish. Good beer, easy drinking and overall sessionable. Just a little hard to get in Colorado.

Dec 6, 2009 This was not what I was expecting. I’ve had Young’s Double Chocolate and that was obviously a stout with chocolate added in. This borders on coffee with a porter added in. The body and the palate are all beer, but I tasted coffee first and foremost. I like beer for being beer, and this was a bit of a shock. Once I got past that, and decided to evaluate the beer on its own terms, I can appreciate it for how well the porter and coffee blend. Take my rating with grain of salt, I’m a green tea guy, rarely drinking coffee.

Dec 6, 2009 Solid porter with just the right amount of coffee. This beer has plenty going on, such as chocolate and coffee and roast and toast, but it’s also pretty easy to drink. And it’s not overly sweet like many porters.

Dec 6, 2009 This is a pretty straight forward beer. The aroma has your kona flavor to it, as the beer is a brown, medium body to it while not being overpowering, nice with a slight lingering coffee taste but it’s far better than your average porter.
