Taster at the brewery - these guys just don’t seem to do coffee infusion all that well - the coffee character is much better than in the Nightmare Fuel I had last night, but is still rather sharp and acidic - the rye character is also a bit boozy, so that doesn’t help much - the nose is quite inciting (espresso and mellow rye), but the flavor is fairly sharp - slick mouthfeel, low carbonation.
