Bottle from allendodd. Thanks for this and all the others! Pours a ruddy copper with a three-finger beige head. It laced a bit. Aroma is coffee. Medium body with frothy carbonation. Flavor is mostly coffee. There’s some dark malt underneath. Lager? Ok. But it can stand up against a lot of porters and stouts. Damn tasty ale, er lager!!!

courtesy of markwise. Pours copper, beige head. Aroma of coffee, grainy, malty. Flavor, light cofee with hints of grains, nutty palate. Nice torrefied coffee mouthfeel with a borderline chocolate presence followed by some faint bitterness. Tasty! Light in body with plenty of coffee.

Courtesy of kiefdog. Pours clear copper with thin off white head. The aroma is a mix of smooth coffee, earthiness, a dash of cherry and maybe some oak. The taste is much the same with sweet malts, caramel malts, coffee and more sweetness from here and there. It oddly ends a bit dry.

Draft at old fashioned. Big coffee aroma. Big coffee taste. Medium bodied coffee assault. Smooth and easy drinking though, not overly sweet and sticky. Filtered amber-brown color. Expresso aftertaste. Well done, very unique.

Sample at JaBier’s refrigerator reduction tasting on 08/15/09. This brew is a clear orange-amber color with a thin off-white head that diminishes steadily. Patchy lacing on the glass. Coffee and floral hops in the nose. Medium body with flavors of roasted coffee, hops and caramel malt. The finish is smooth and well-rounded between moderately bitter coffee and sweet malt. Pretty good overall.

Bottle. Pours a dark amber with a light brown head. Aroma is dominated by a coffee smell, almost exactly like coffee beans. Flavor is dominated by coffee flavors as well and taste some what like an iced coffee. There are no usual beer flavors of malts or hops. Definitely different as I am used to having my coffee flavored beers in a stout.

The idea of a coffee lager sure seems strange, but I knew I had to try this - it’s a bit odd to get used to at first, since I’m so used to coffee being in the more "obvious" beers, like porters and stouts - however, the lighter character of the beer actually lets the coffee flavors shine even more than they would in those kinds of beers - you can taste the whole bean, and all the intense characteristics you’d associate with a quality, microroast coffee - despite this, the bitterness is minimal, and only manifests in the finish, along with a leafy quality - this is quite nice.

12 oz bottle shared by heemer77 at the 10/18 tasting. Pour is golden orange thinnish off white head. Aroma of coffee, full roastiness, and bready maltiness. The coffee is nice, really integrated with the nose. Taste is the nose, the coffee integrates very gently, through to the finish, with a limited after taste. Palate is thinnish, drinkable, nice. Unique beer.
