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.

An opaque brown beer with a thin brown head. The aroma is sweet with primary notes of roasted coffee, but also a faint note of butter. The flavor is sweet roasted combined with light notes of malt, coffee, and vegetables.

Black color. Aroma of malt and fudge. Good body structure; malty and with good roasted malt; some coffee and roasted malt; very light sourness. Balanced, well blended, original, complex. This is a good beer Henrik!

Bottle pours an opaque black witha very large milk chocolate colored head. Arolmas of mainly chocolate malts and dark roasted but sweet malts. I don’t notice much coffee here yet. Slightl acidic sour porter like aroma as well. Flavor was more of the coffe I was expecting but mainly on the aftertaste. Yes, quitre thin and kind of a light weight at 4.4% and low on the unfermented sugars. Not bad. Now that I think of it the delayed aftertaste is like the combo of cigarette buts and coffee grounds. Thanks to Degarth for this one.

Black with a huge brown head. Coffee aroma. Flavor of smooth, mild coffee. Very well balanced and easy to drink. Bitter finish.

Sampled at From The Vine monthly beer tasting Aug 4th, 2003: I normally like the coffee aspect in many Stouts but in this case it is a little too much. Pours like a cup of cold coffee. Very small beige head and thin lacing. Aroma is coffee, coffee, coffee. A little on the thin and brittle side for a Stout. This is actually leaning toward a Porter in many ways. The coffee flavor is dominant, with a slight roasty malt presence, but you have to search for it. The finish is a little watery and maintains the bitter coffee flavor found throughout. Lakefront really seems to be hit and miss to me.

Looks alright - tan head, good lacing, opaque body - but smells and tastes like thin, weak coffee - watery mouthfeel - thin palate - I've been trying some good stouts lately, but this isn't one of them.

Black. Very coffeeish aroma. Slightly thin body. lots of coffee, which I usually don't go for, but this is a quality roast, with none of the vegetal flavours found in some other coffee beers. Smoothly drinkable.
