Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured an orange-caramel color with a large fluffy orange-tan head that lingered and left decent lacing. The aroma was brewed coffee, cream, vanilla and faint notes of roastiness and wood. The flavor as sweetish with brewed coffee, cream, toasty malts, caramel and vanilla.Long finish. Medium bodied and smooth. Pretty tasty.

Can pour into shaker pint glass from Greg & Jane’s Beer and Wine. Appearance is lightly hazy reddish-amber, nice sparkle, finger-width off-white foamy head with good retention and lots of soapy lacing. Aroma is coffee and chocolate, subtler dark fruits. Taste is mix of sweet chocolate and bitter roasted coffee. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with creamy texture, average carbonation and more bitter than sweet finish. Overall, I really liked this! Usually associate coffee with darker beers so am psyched when it works with a lighter one. Not much nuance here but it is a nice lighter coffee-infused beer.

Sweet grain and coffee nose. Clear tea, thin head. Bran, slightly beany, coffee finish. Light body, moderate carbonation. Fairly underattenuated, but I like it. The coffee addition doesn’t seem to make a difference one way or another.

12 oz. can. Slightly hazy Amber appearance. Nose is European malts, slight Caramel, light coffee.
The flavor has good amount of coffee and mild chocolate. Body is about medium/ lean’s on light. It has a little bit of earthy malt backing. It is essentially a Vienna lager meets cold brew coffee. Kind of better then I was guessing it would be.

Bottle, pour is lighter than expected. Can’t really smell nuttin’ but it’s not offensive nor volatile, thank you. Taste is lager, with some chocolate and coffee impressions, not bad for a coffee brew. Yea, seems a little more toward dark chocolate rather than coffee but a friend here says he didn’t get no chocolate at all, just rude coffee. I found this to be a quite acceptable beer, for a coffee brew. Good co2, too! Thank you Sary for being such a dependable, as well as a less than macro, brewer. You go girl! Never in yer face, dude.

12oz bottle thanks to ditmir. Pours out crisp amber copper color topped with a sand head. Nose is nice big coffee cream notes and a roast malt. Taste is more of the nice coffee beans a mellow roast and cream.
