Mourning Wood is an oak-aged coffee amber ale. Fresh American oak used during the aging process and Dark Matter’s El Salvador San Jose pulp-natural coffee aromatically drive the beer yet they remain subtle components of the beers’ overall flavor profile. This amber colored, medium-bodied, and extraordinarily well-balanced ale has a delicate taste that is appreciated by beer drinkers of all palates.

Bottle from Capitol Beer in Sacramento, CA. Pours dark orange amber with a creamy/bubbly beige head. Aroma seems more chocolate than coffee. Med body or so. Flavor is malty/toffee. Coffee and oak are slow to surface. And there’s something about this that suggests bitter chocolate - maybe the way the bitterness comes out. This is rather subtle stuff. No mouth smashing flavors. It just keeps on building wood and smooth coffee, while letting the toffee come along. Not all that dry and bitter, but I think that’s how it is. It’s hard not to use "refined".

Bottled 500ml (Bierkompass)
Amber/copper color, steady off-white head, nice lacing. Some wood and cocoa in the nose. Medium-bodied. Soft palate. Sweetish maltyness, coffee/cocoa flavor is dominating with touch of vanilla. A bit rough in the edges but same time somewhat enjoyable. Quite unique flavor.

Bottle @ home via the good ole rotbox, picked up at Liquor Max Loveland. Pours a hazy reddish orange appearance with a cream colored head. Burnt roasty coffee, a touch smoky, very earthy aroma. A bit tangy, lightly fruity, quite roasty coffee, caramel, chewy woody flavor. Kind of strange and not really up my alley.

Herber, süß kaffeeartiger Antrunk. Alle Aromen sind mild, passen aber insgesamt zusammen. Süffig, nicht unbedingt vollmundig. Süß. 10/11/11/11/12/11

Pours hazy amber with an off white head. Aroma of coffee, chocolate, fruity hops and caramel. Flavour is moderate sweet and bitter, chocolate and coffee surprising given the color and finishing with fudge. Medium to full bodied with light carbonation. Great!
