Sample at ACAT. Pours a hazy orange, with a thin, off-white head. Coffee hits the nose first, followed by straw, bread, chocolate, and some floral and resinous hops. Very sweet, with minimal bitterness. Medium body, sticky, and pretty astringent. This is a nice, complex combination that works pretty well. The coffee and chocolate overwhelm the hop bitterness, but the hop character is still there.
