Jan 6, 2009 Bottle. What the fuck happened here? I am pretty sure this bottle had something very strange happen. I’m almost convinced that this was mislabeled. Pale amber-brown, very clear with a thick head. Nose is hoppy with light caramel notes. Flavor is also hop-heavy, sort of a stale hop character. Tastes nothing like a brown and nothing like a coffee-beer. Tastes like a malty IPA with a touch of chocolate. I’m confused and disappointed.

Bottle from Cracked Kettle. Dark brown body. Foamy head. Roasted coffee aroma. Taste is also real roasty with chocolate well-pronounced. Also taste of coffee, toffee and licorice. Very creamy texture. Quite bitter as well. Enjoyable.

Dec 30, 2008 Bottle. Dark red brown with an off-white foam. Aromas are nutty and spicy with chocolate and roast malts. Woody and yeasty. Flavours are very bitter coffee with yeast and spices. Peppery and prickly with some sweet cola. Burnt, woody notes come through along with grapefruit bitterness on the finish. Good stuff.

Dec 27, 2008 Large creamy offwhite head, retention is good, sticky, webby lacing is nice. Lightly hazy brown color. Nose is light roast and toast with a faint pineyness. Body is med/light, over carbonated, prickly co2 bites. Light roast and coffee flavors with bigger piney hop flavors unbalancing this one out. Dry, chocolatey finish. Meh. Bottle procured @statelineliquors.

Dec 24, 2008 Bottle. Black beer with a reddish tinge. The aroma is malty, and the flavour is malty and quite deeply bitter. Overall a nice deeply bitter and malty beer.

Dec 21, 2008 Bottle: This sweetheart has a delicious aroma of brown sugar & alcohol. A little hoppier than most browns which I think is nice. Very tasty. Thanks BuckeyeBoy for the hookup.

Dec 18, 2008 Pours a clear light brown, frothy head,
Musky hop aroma, a bit fruity, and some grassy notes. The flavor is bitter and not like a coffee brown ale at all. I dont taste of smell coffee. Just musky bitter hops. Palate is a bit smooth and bitter. But not a coffee brown ale. Im confused.
