22 oz. bottle - thanks frank!! pours dark brown and clear with foamy tan head fading quickly; rich aromas of chocolate, caramel and tons of sweet, milky coffee; drinks with a faint alcohol burn and a mind bending amount of sweet coffee; no abrasiveness or over roast from the coffee in any way, but rather an extreme level of sweetness from the lagering; so much so that it results in an almost bourbony flavor; super dry, rich and malty, yet remains quite thin in overall texture; easily one of the top coffee beers I’ve had; wow, just a killer brew and one of my fav midnight sun offerings to date; so glad to hear that a second batch is being brewed this winter!!!!!!

Update 10/16/09: bomber - batch 1; knowing the new batch is almost ready, I cracked this beast without any reservations; forget exactly when released, but this has at least 8 months on it and 4 months since originally tried; not very much age I’d admit, but I couldn’t wait; dense brown, thin tan head; syrupy chocolate, sweet espresso, dark candy malt, almost banana like notes from the booze; this one really goes beyond coffee; such smooth sweetness; cookies, chocolate, vanilla; flavors have slightly chilled making the booze a little more obvious; texture also slightly thinned out; damn good stuff; batch two is out soon :)

Bottle thanks to americanbrew. Dark brown pour with a small head. Aroma is espresso beans, light smoke, burnt malts, slightly ashy. Flavor is coffee, bittersweet chocolate.

Thanks to Amricanbrew. Bitter cocoa and espresso, alcohol up front. Chocolate and a little spice flavors. Thick chocolate aftertaste.

Bottle courtesy of AmERICanbrew. Brown pour. Wonderful ground chocolate aroma with a slight pepper smell. Tingly taste with a solid coffee ground flavor. Espresso flavor, tingles on the way down.

Bottle thanks to Americanbrew. Pours with a tan head over a coffee colored body. Aroma of coffee beans, vanilla, roast, wood, and a touch of red fruit (DR Baltic Porter-esque). Taste is coffee, chocolate, roast and a touch of woody notes. Lightish body for the 9.7%, medium carbonation.

Pours a thick dark black with a tan head. Strong coffee aroma with slight notes of caramel/toffee maltyness. Taste is big bold coffee. The beer is smooth and creamy. Easy to drink for a big coffee beer. The name says it all.
