A Classic Jersey-ism is “regular coffee.” Here when you order a “regular coffee” at any place you trust to make a pork roll and cheese you get a paper cup of coffee with “milk and 2 sugars” rather than a “black coffee that hasn’t had the caffeine removed.” We added a coffee blend from our neighbors at Fair Mountain Coffee Roasters to a high gravity golden cream ale, contributing our “milk and 2 sugars” for an elevated version of classic plain coffee. Drink Regular Coffee because running over a black beer with coffee is no way to get things done.

12oz can from the brewery pours a clear, light bronze with some cloudy, white head. Nose is sweet, quite corny, candy, loads of medium roast coffee bean, mild butterscotch. Flavor has loads of caramel, butterscotch, loads of blonde coffee bean, very corny, roast parsnip. Full bodied, sticky finish. This may have been better at 8%.

Well done even if not exactly my thing. Pours golden without much head or lacing. Tons of coffee and some malt. Not a lot else to this beer. Sweet finish. Thick palate verges on syrupy. Tap at Blind tiger.
Had this again at Snally and really unbalanced, not my thing. Bumped it down a lot.

Location: Draft at Barcade JC, 2/7/15
Aroma: The nose is sweetened coffee with some lactose
Appearance: It pours a slightly cloudy orange, with a small head, and drippy lace
Flavor: The taste is clean and sweetened coffee, this one is really quite good
Palate: The mouthfeel is smooth and clean, soft carbonation, light heat
Overall Impression: Yup, I really enjoyed this. The flavor is right on. The alcohol is well hidden. I have to say, this is a good way to start the day with a buzz.

On tap at the EBF Saturday This is an interesting beer. I usually think of coffee in a stout, but with this sweet cream ale this kind of tastes like creamed coffee.

Growler shared on the early morning bus during RBWG 2014 - Asheville. Pours clear gold with a bubbly, white head. Very sweet beer with nice coffee character, rich creamy sugars. Full bodied with fine carbonation and lightly syrupy texture. Sweet finish with thick, sugary and creamy coffee, some heavy pale bread. Something of an acquired taste perhaps but it does drink exceptionally well for the strength.

Can at RBWG 2014. Pours a clear pale gold with a bubbly white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of earthy coffee with a bit of sweetness backing. Flavor combines coffee and cream with a really sweet grains and sweet lactose.
