Commercial Description:
This unique stout combines the flavor of roasted malts and Milwaukee's reknown FUEL CAFE coffee. The fine balance of mild hops, the gentle acidity of choice cofee and the sweetness of the barley makes this an unforgettable brew.

Super dark brown, bubbly light brown head. Opaque w/red at the edges, crown of brown lacing. Coffee and alcohol in the nose; oily stout malt. Good mildly toasted mocha coffee aroma. Cocoa powder, caramel, toffee, butterscotch. Tastes of raisins, plums, dates in the front; mocha, coffee in the back. Sweet overshadows the bitter; could use more balance. Oily at first, then dry/ashy. Taste doesn’t live up to aroma, but decent nonetheles.

12 oz. bottle. Pours pitch black with a small, foamy, light tan head. The head disappears almost immediately. Wood, coffee, a little old sock, roasted notes, and a touch of date in the the nose. Very interesting. Medium carbonation with a medium mouthfeel. Bitter coffee, a sour note, raisin, and roasted notes on the palate. Somehow this one never quite comes together the right way on the tongue. Medium finish. A pretty poor nose and a palate that is mediocre at best. Not one I would recommend or have again.

Decent bitter black cup-of-coffee beginning that somehow turns into a glass of Icehouse. The flavor just dissipates into an ice cold Zephyrhills drink. Disappointing. $4 bottle at Zeke’s, Miami Beach.

Very good. Not the strongest coffee flavor, but blends well with dark malts and just a bit of bite. Very dark, very creamy.

Poured from Bottle into Pint glass. Pours a deep dark brown that borders on black with a fizzy khaki colored head that quickly dissolves and leaves no remains. The nose has some chocolate, roasted malts and just a hint of coffee. The flavor is sweet chocolate upfront and is accompanied by some smoke and earthy hops and finishes dry. Its a medium bodied beer that has a hearty amount of carbonation. The nose on this beer is completely lacking and the flavor is pretty faint as well and the body makes it seem more like a porter than a stout.

Lots of coffee in the aroma. Good overall taste. Bit of roast in the taste as well and coffee. Decent stout overall.

Black with a fizzy tan head. Sweet roasted chocolate aroma and taste with some coffee notes on the back end.
