Black Ale Brewed With Coffee Beans. RED EYE Coffee porter is one of a series of special limited run beers in styles that are more EXTREME or unusual. Porter’s an elusive dark ale that has been constantly changing during its long 300 year history. We figured it was about RIPE for some REINVENTION.

From a 22 oz bottle shared at home. Pours black with a tan head. Mild roasted malt aroma. Creamy mouth feel with moderate carbonation. Coffee is quite subdued. Hop notes dominate. Tasty, though.

Bonus beer courtesy of markwise. The 22oz bomber pours pretty dark with a thin tan head of foam. The aroma is sweet and a little earthy rolling into dark roasted malts and black licorice. The taste delivers some sweet malts mixed with dark roasted coffee and a bit of spicy black licorice. The mix of coffee and sweetness is pretty nice.

22 oz bottle @ home. Almost black color. Quickly receding beige head. Aroma’s: coffee, but not strongly roasted, hints of fruit (berries?), malty sweetness retronasal. Flavor is (medium) sweet, somewhat herbal, laurel/drop. Body is actually on the thin side. Finishes sweet, roasted and finally lightly bitter.

Tap at Beer Authority, Manhattan - 28/05/12. Very rich dark brown with a thin tan head. Sweet coffee, earthy hops and a little alcohol whiff. Milk choclate and coffee in the taste, a little booze and roasted malt. Higher end of medium bodied, a little over carbonated, sweet finish.

22 ounce bottle into tulip glass, no bottle dating but this was pretty recent(15th anniversary bottling). Pours pitch black color with a dense 1-2 finger tan head with good retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Some good lacing clings on the glass. Aromas of chocolate, coffee beans, roasted malt, caramel, toast, biscuit, molasses, light herbal, and light nuttiness. Pretty nice and balanced aromas; but are not nearly as strong as I was expecting. Taste of milk chocolate, roasted malt, biscuit, toast, caramel, nuttiness, coffee, molasses, and herbal spiciness. Light spicy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of milk chocolate, roasted malt, caramel, biscuit, molasses, nuttiness, toast, coffee, and herbal on the finish for a good bit. Nice robust and balanced flavor profile with minimal cloying sweetness; but not nearly as much coffee flavor as I was expecting. Medium carbonation and medium-full bodied; with a creamy and slightly slick mouthfeel that is good. Alcohol is very well hidden with only a slight warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is a very good imperial porter. Nice robust flavor and balance; and very easy to drink. Nowhere near worthy of being called a coffee porter; but still a very enjoyable beer.
