bottle - Infected. Of the nine bottled Mishawaka beers I have had, all different styles were and purchased at different times over a couple years, this makes at least the third that has been infected. Two others were debatable. At this point it is not just bad luck. They have a huge bottling problem that is apparently plagued them for years. Their draft beer may be good, but I cannot recommend anyone buy any of their bottles until this infection issue is fixed. This beer pours near black with almost no head. It smells like roast coffee beans. It takes like very watery, sour coffee. It is crap. Drain pour.

pours black - nice tan head- aroma is carmel, toffee and coffee - taste was coffee, hops, malt and bitter - not really too bad - but pretty bland/boring to me. Nothing offensive just not quite mixed right for me. a bit watery taste - but definate potential.

Pours a deep dark brown with a small brown head. Aroma is fresh, cold coffee and caramel. Flavor is bitter coffee and some weird sweetness. This bottle may be a little off, but not a terrible beer.

12 oz bottle and served in standard pint glass: deep brown with creamy head and good lace. The aroma has notes of iced mocha coffee, prune, grassy hops, burnt malts, and a hint of DMS. The taste is mostly malty with chocolate and toasted bread, very little hop or coffee character. Some lactic acid twang. The mouth feel is smooth and a tad underwhelming. Okay.
