This unique stout combines organic roasted malts and Milwaukee’s renowned organic Fuel Café coffee. Pours a deep, dark brown with a creamy tan head. Coffee aromas dominate the nose with a background of roasted malt. The fine balance of mild organic hops, gentle coffee brightness and full mouthfeel from roasted malted barley make this an unforgettable brew.

Bottle. The lable does not lie, this is a coffee stout. Aroma of strong coffee, with some malt. Malty clavour, with much coffee and a little chocolate. Coffee finish. This one is light enough in alcohol to drink at lunch, and you can say you had coffee.

Bottle. I’m not sure what to make of his beer. It didn’t have that strong of an aroma, and the flavor was a little weak to me. Perhaps I drank it too chilled, but I’ve had other beers that were "brewed with coffee" and this one just pales entirely compared to them.

Soy sauce aroma. Pours black with a very thin brown head. Tastes of dark roasted malts and fairly well balanced hops. Faint light roasted coffee finish.

Deep brown body with reddish highlights, thin dissipating buff head. Milk chocolate aroma with soy and coffee, sweet-smelling. Strangely sweet to tart body, almost lactic, with Hershey’s syrup, coffee beans, and light buttery notes. The astringency of the coffee is negated by the dominant syrupy tartness. A mess of a stout.

"Bottled during Mar 06." One of the first beers I tried when I began exploring craft brews, before I got onto RateBeer. Now I can finally critique it. Pours black, tan head makes a valiant effort to stay up. Smell is both straight coffee and coffee malts. Taste is more of a straight stout than a sweet one: some sourness pervades over the coffee flavor (and this may have to do with the age of this bottle). Dark roasty malts here and there, and a slight coffee aftertaste. Usually such a combination makes for a lot of astringent bitterness, but this beer avoids that. Sourness is a bit like tart cherries. Standard carbonation is not a good match for a stout. That’s the last of 8 Lakefront beers from a sampler pack sold past its date, but I hope to re-rate from more recent bottles soon.

bottle - Pours dark brown to black with a very thin head. The aroma of roasted malts and coffee is pleasant enough. The flavor is consistent with the aroma and there isn’t much else going on here. You’ve got roast malt and you’ve got a fairly mild coffee flavor. It’s too light and the body is too thin to be a particularly good stout. It’s okay, but certainly not worth seeking out.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Pours a deep, dark brown - almost black - with a wee orangey hue. Neat, creamy beige head. Malty, lightly burned aroma perhaps with a touch of coffee. Perhaps a whiff of butter also. Medium-bodied with lots of roasted malt. Lightly burned, bitter finish. Luckily that touch of butter never made it to the flavour. 170406
