Jun 21, 2009 12oz bottle: Pours a transparent dark amber copper with a large, pillowy, clingy-lacing light tan head. Aroma of rich chocolatey espresso and some sweet dark caramel notes. Starts with average fullness and mild toasty sweetness with a nice balance of assertive, roasty bitter coffee beans before a smooth, creamy mocha finish. A very unique concept and well executed. This is the first coffee beer I remember having where the base beer wasn’t of the stout/porter style.

Jul 19, 2009 Pours amber with a thin white head. A sweet malt aroma and flavor with a messy coffee undertone Make this undrinkable.

Mar 7, 2009 Bottle from Capone’s. Pours chill hazy brownish with off-white head. Nose is heavy espresso, caramel malt, some brown sugar...huge coffee nose in this one. Tastes of fresh brewed espresso, with a coffee-based bitterness, a bit dry overall, with caramel malt, and some finishing astringency. The last dregs get a tiny bit sweeter, and coffee abounds. This one is unique, but coffee/espresso haters need not apply.

Feb 15, 2009 A clear brown ale with a dark creamy thick moka head. A pleasant aroma of espresso coffee, nuts, and milk chocolate, very pungeant. In mouth, intense coffee and bitter chocolate, burned notes, dry malt. Surprising. Tasted on Jan. 1 2009.
