Poured from the tap. Dark copper red with small beige head. Lots of coffee, hint of nuts, fairly simple. Wish the coffee quality was slightly better, but it’s fine as it is.

On tap at the brewery. Has a nice dark muddy brown body with a bit of foam. Smells like thin coffee from a late night diner, or conversely a pilsner with a cigarette but tossed into it. Flavour is more sharp watery coffee. None of this is good, seems like a weak attempt at something that eventually comes across as watery ash.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a dark reddush copper with atan head. Aroma brings out lots of cold coffee. Same character and aftertaste with chocolate notes and some residual sweetness. Good, easy drinkable beer.

Growler - v3 - Cold pressed coffee, dark roast beans. Jet brown with a thin white head. Nice coffee bean roast and dark roast malts. Light sweetness, no bitterness to speak off. You have to like coffee for this one, but it is pretty pleasant without any astringency or bitterness.

Amber-brown, thin head, very coffeeish aroma, very coffeeish on the palate, so much cold brew and aside from the malty mouthfeel not much beer character.

On tap. Pours brown with light head. Aromas of roasting coffee - somewhat sour. Very strong fresh roast coffee flavour with a bit of nuts and roasted malts. Possibly too much coffee but very interesting and worth a try.

Draught at the brewery
Hazy mahogany-red color with small compact head. Nice aroma of pot coffee, breakfast, caramelized sugars, with a kind of coffee fruitiness. Smooth body; the malts are dark but not burnt, and the light sweetness is a good balancing factor; delicate coffee presence, and pleasant mild fruitiness; correct bitterness.
Quite unique, interesting because of the light sweetness and fruitiness that grabs this beer out of the bunch of otherwise boring ones. Good one.

Draught. Smells like a cup of coffee.... Tastes like a cup of coffee.... Cold..... Like one of those sweets that is always left in the box at Christmas.... But it works okish. Glad it was in a taster glass...

473mL growler, pours a dark amber with a small beige head. Aroma is all roasted espresso beans - very nice on the nose. Flavour brings out delicious coffee notes, some dry bready caramel malts, and just enough very light sweetness to balance the coffee. Fairly light on the palate, but with loads of flavour. Really great stuff.
