From puggy...thanks man. Pours a nice cloudy dark brown with a good tan head. Aroma is really cool...hops, malt and lots of coffee. So often coffee infused beers are stouts/porters this is a refreshing new look for coffee beers. Flavor has some great coffee, light malts and a nice amoutn of hops. Some of the nutiness in regular bender has been lost with the coffee...but it doesnt hurt the beer. Good stuff.

Can. Body-thin brown, thin ring of bubbles. Nose-spent wet coffee grounds, soil, old storage building-basically a mix of soil and coffee. Taste-light skunk, body odor, clay, earth ,soil, light wood. Very nice.

I like this beer anyway, but add the extra complexity of coffee flavor and it makes a different beer. I had it at the 8th street grill. The only thing that is weak is the coffee cup it comes in.
