Clear amber colour, white head. Aroma of coffee, light wood. Coffee flavour, malts, light sweet notes. Bit sweet finish, wood, coffee liquer, like Tia Maria.
(from 50cL bottle @ weekly tasting, Oirschot. Thanks for sharing, joes!)

Baker’s chocolate and coffee nose, rich and odd for such a lighter style of beer, but I’m ok with that. Cloudy ochre, thick yellow head, beautiful lacing. Coffee and oak flavor, the chocolate notes not sensed on the palate. Dried leaves finish and maybe just a hint of caramel. Coffee is dominant. Medium body. Unique and nicely done.

Refrigerated 0.5 L brown bottle poured into a glass. Amber with lots of suspended particles and small off-white head. Aroma caramel, medium body, low carbonation, and some big-bubble lacing. Taste is rich coffee, caramel, some nuts, hints of oak, with hop balance.

Bottle courtesy of Summer Santa 2014. Pours murky brownish amber with a creamy reddish beige head that leaves a small trace on the glass while dissipating. Smell is slightly malty with biscuits, caramel, coffee, grapefruit rinds, moist grass, toffee, compost and lemon zest. Taste is sweet, slightly bitter and slightly malty with dark bread, biscuits, caramel, grapefruit juice, coffee, moist grass, pine needles, resin and lemon zest. Mouthfeel is soft, round, slightly creamy and medium bodied. Finish is tiny sweet, bitter and slightly malty with caramel, coffee, grapefruit rinds, moist grass, resin and lemon zest. Much better than I expected.

Morning wood is 7.8% and will possibly be exported to Japan, nice! An oak aged american coffee beer. It has the full on coffee aroma you are more likely to associate with a stout than such a pale clear amber beer. Medium bodied and smooth with a sandy round mouthfeel. The taste is fantastic with a really soft coffee flavor that’s incredibly approachable and light drinking great stuff. Another genre bender which seems to be what Local Option do best - I dig it.

Extremely well done if this is the style we’re putting this in. The barrel is done just right, and just enough coffee to give a hint. This actually reminds me more of an altbier in the overall feel. Pours slightly cloudy orange with good head and lacing. Tap at Black Squirrel.
