Draft @ brewery. Fresh coffee grounds aroma. Clear copper with a moderate off-white head, nice lacing. Fresh clean coffee flavor. Medium creamy body, soft carbonation. I think this is the first coffee amber I’ve had, and I really liked it.

tap last fall at Black Acres brewpub - This spicy brew has a pleasant cinnamon aroma along with some mild indistinct malt. The flavor is sweet with ample cinnamon without being overpowering. It’s a mild, light bodied beer. While the cinnamon works alright, the rest of the beer is decent but could be better.

Draft. Deep brown body. Fizzy, beige head, rapidly diminishing. Aroma of roasted malts, milk chocolate, coffee and cream. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes moderately sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. Medium body, watery texture, soft carbonation. A very sweet porter that could use a little more hop balance. Raw grain aftertaste with some metallic notes.
