Purchased at Bottles and Cans in Chicago, IL; enjoyed at home after a Friday work day in an empty nest before a friends going away party. Appearance is an amber brown with a thin off white head. Aroma is rich in coffee with nice caramel / malty undertones, smell is nice and decadent without being too sweet. Taste goes down very nicely, definitely strong in coffee but crisp without being too bitter. I’m really liking this one.

Draft. Crystal clear golden amber color, tan head. Aroma of toasted caramel biscuit. Big coffee flavor, but both the body and the beery characteristics are preserved. Works for me.

$2 single from Lemon Tree. Smell has some roast malt and a touch of coffee, but also something metallic, like a rinsed glass (no, this glass was cleaned some time ago. A darker Vienna lager color, always a surprise to find a coffee or chocolate beer that isn’t pitch black. Taste comes in equal parts light roast coffee, and a fizzy beer. Certainly a unique combination, and I give it props for that. This could be the basis of a fine coffee soda, with malt instead of sugar, yes?

Interesting take on the coffee beer: a Coffee Mexican Dark Lager. Modest coffee on the nose, coupled with a definite lager aroma. Not too pretty either. Tastes good, not great, with a very brisk coffee flavor that moves along a little too quickly to benefit the dark lager. Mild bitterness on the finish, but the lagery-sweet fade isn’t very pleasant, showing off why corn should never be used in beer. The texture comes off thin and undercarbonated; I can see this as a summer beer, quick and easy and forgettable.

bottle from Zipp’s, pours light reddish brown with a medium creamy tan head that lasts the length of the glass. Aroma is big coffee beans and mild roast. Flavor is creamy oats and toast with big flows of coffee, semi-sweet mild roast, bold heavy roast, all very fresh and clean in the finish. Sublime!

Bottle thanks to Dan! Pours brown with off white head. Nose of coffee, malt and exotic fruits. Taste is gummy bears, exotic fruit, bubblegum, coffee and malt. Weird spicy pepper/vegetable notes in taste from the odd flavor combination. Very odd brew. Worth trying.

How about thus, a really highly rated lager.....and its a nicaraguan all female growers co-op. Without tasting this yet I am turned off by how highly this is rated. Coffee aroma. First off this has coffee in it and what real dark american lager has coffee in it? Some sizzly CO2. Quite strong commencement on the taste buds, first I thought it was a mild coffe impy stout. It is not black tho, just tastes like it. The color is rather not dark american lager. Its more like barley wine. Strong and rude like an uncivilized ale, never would know this is american dark lager, heheh. Finish of long black coffee and bitter ale. Seems stronger than 5.3%. Somebody should get this out of the dark american lager style. Rather rude end of session. Yep, this is rated high because of the imp stout lovers on this site, heheh. One of the worse dark american lagers I’ve ever tasted.

Bottle. Pours a lovely brownish red with minimal head and kind of roasty/nutty/sweet aromas that remind me of caramel and brown sugar coated almonds. Flavor is borderline cloying up front, but then coffee kicks in and it gets a little more interesting before heading back to a fairly sugary aftertaste.

Sampled on draft at Smokin’ Joe’s in Pittsburgh PA this beer poured a dark caramel-amber color with a small white head that produced some lacing. The aroma was dry and roasty with a burnt coffee element. The flavor was dry, roasty, nutty and had a moderate bitter coffee element. The finish was long, dry and roasty burnt coffee. Moderately full bodied. Disappointing.
