| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Mar 9, 2009 12 oz bottle, best by April 3 2009. Pours a clear reddish amber with a creamy off white head that retains well and laces the glass.
The aroma is cold coffee and a little toffee and nuts.
The flavor is coffee and roast with some nuts and fruit leading to a slightly bitter finish. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with some sharp carbonation.
Overall, it’s pretty one dimensional with the coffee notes, but I enjoy it. It’s interesting having a lighter coffee beer with some fruit notes. Ibrew2or3 (2848), Safety Harbor, Florida, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 8, 2009 Courtesy of markwise. Pours clear copper with gold edges and thin off white head. The aroma is roasted malts, coffee, burnt malts and other mildly vague malty notes. The taste is sweet with caramel and sugar sweetness to go along with smooth coffee notes. Coffee takes over by midway and provides mild dryness to cut the early onslaught of sweetness. It tastes like a dark stout-ish beer but doesn’t really look like one. kiefdog (1650), Tampa, Florida, USA

Aroma is coffee and sweet malt. Coffee flavor really stands out by itself, with caramel malt playing a side role. Decent but balance is not really there. Medium palate. SHIG (2051), Aviano, Italy
