Tons of coffee. Light lime. Coffee kind of takes over the big malt flavor milds otherwise have. Bitter end. Tap at brewery.

Can pour from trade with AirForceHops--thanks, Chris! It's a murky, cloudy brown with light sparkle, several-finger beige foamy head with poor retention and no lacing. Aroma is strong roasted coffee (a bit on the charred side), baker's chocolate. Taste follows aroma exactly. Mouthfeel is light side of light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, flat carbonation with late liveliness and mostly bitter finish. Overall, exceptional strength of aroma and flavor for the ABV, but a bit to the charred side for my liking. The mouthfeel detracts from the experience.

16 oz. can. Aroma is a abundance of roasted coffee beans. Flavor has a little bit nutty hints and roast. And of course coffee is the main flavor. Very mild ale that could sampled for breakfast or a nice after dinner brew. Great flavor for such a low ABV.

(Thanks, Andy! Nimbleprop) Can. A- Coffee grounds. A- Dark brown color, dark liquid, beige head. T- Coffee grounds. P- Light body, slightly thin texture, average carbonation, roasty finish. O- Loads and loads of generic coffee grounds throughout. Doesn't seem like much and pretty one dimensional, but coffee in a light beer works best this way. So many local coffee blondes but this one is much better. Not much bitterness or astringency. Nice.

16oz can pours a cola brown, off white head. Nose has a lot, malt, nuts, cocoa nibs, coffee grounds, Folgers. Flavor adds some carob and brown sugar. Finishes dry and a little snappy thanks to the coffee. Lotta flavor for less than 4%. 8 3 8 4 15
