Commercial Description:
Dark color, medium-full body with a tremendous coffee aroma and flavor. Brewed with fresh ground coffee, and coffee extract making this even more coffee-e than ever! Be careful with this one. Weighing in at 5.8%, and enough caffeine to kill small animals, drink too much and you won't know upside from down. (aka Chaos Coffee Porter)

On tap at the brewery. Carbonic gaseousness, bitter grain and coffee grounds acidity. Light toasted malt and just a hint of coffee. Mild chocolate and a bit of fruity hops. Dark black clear with creamy light tan lacing head. Medium watery body with light smooth carbonation - like a nitrogenated stout. Starts with toasted and burnt malt, light lactose sweetness and a bit of bitter coffee. Odd salty-soft water taste, kind of typical for this place. Good bitter hops at finish with dry chalky bitter coffee-nutty after. Not a strong coffee flavor, but OK.

6/12/08 - Draft sample at brewpub. Pours brown with amber hues and khaki head. Coffee and roasted malt nose. Taste is roast and coffee with moderate bitter. Some chocolate and more roast. Pretty decent.

On tap at the Pints for Pets Brewfest. Medium brown color. A standard porter with only the slightest hints of coffee. Pretty thin in the mouth. Meh..

Wow, now that is a coffee laced beer. I think I caught a caffeine buzz on this one as well. Make sure to try it if they have it.

Had at HBF, draft. Pours dark brown. Aroma of malt, coffee, chocolate. Tastes malty, with coffee, chocolate, some nuttiness at the finish.
