Bottle at Brewers Ball Dallas. Pours a dark brown with small beige head that lasts. The aroma is strong roast coffee and toast. Medium body, dark chocolate and roast, bitter finish, good.

Nice dark brown coloured body with a thin, fast-dying light brown head. Aroma of coffee grounds, nuts, earth, pit fruits and a bit of raisins, but the spent coffee is definitely noticeable. Medium to Light-bodied; Strong assertive coffee flavour up front with not much malt to support it - a touch thin on the finish, with some caramel, nuts and musty notes right behind. Aftertaste shows the coffee, a touch of alcohol and very little else - no real malts either nor any sort of complexity. Overall, quite poor, as it’s solely one-dimensional with no complexity nor variance in flavours - thin malt and coffee, that’s it to this one. I love coffee, but this didn’t do it for me. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Whole Foods in Washington (Eye Street, Foggy Bottom), DC on 05-February-2015 for US$2,99 sampled at home in Washington on 10-January-2016, about a year after purchasing.

Bottle at Imazato. Dark black with a lovely 1 cm head of dense tan foam. A big nose of full on coffee. The taste lives up to the nose: coffee. A bit of a one note beer but it’s one hell of a delicious note!

Oh my, from a bottle this is a really dark beer with a thin choko moose head. Big coffee flavors fer sure on the first bite. Can make you think you are drinken a cold coffee from outside of western PA around groundhog day. Does not necessarily smell like the way it tastes. Smells like very light coffee on the nose. Yes, roll up the ol’ sleeves dude. Does have a bitter coffee thing on the finish, go figger.
