Two Brothers Old Mans Irish Coffee

Fairly dark, with brown flecks in the lingering off white head. Initially the aroma is like a cracked palm leaf, then comes the extremely fresh roasted coffee beans. Great flavour - fresh produce/I get the same pleasure here as I do when I have fresh fruit. . . Most unique and surprising - taste like coffee beans smell, very nice.

Chicago Barrel Aged Beer Festival. This seemed kind of cool to me, dry hopping, except with fresh coffee beans. The initial smell seemed to be the aroma of a huge, rainforest tree's leaf bruttally ripped open and the gels spread on a piece of burnt toast. However, the second sniff yielded intense coffee aromas coming from very fresh beans. The aroma was so strong, it could possibly have had caffeine in it. The darkest espresso I've ever experienced. This beer tastes like a coffee smells. I had trouble sleeping, and I think it is because of this beer. The most interesting beer I've had from Two Brothers, save maybe the Weiss Wine. Thick and full with plenty of flavor and character. A great name for a great beer. The biggest surprise of the Barrel Aged Beer Festival.
