Draft from Northern Virginia BrewFest. Pours a very dark black color with a deep tan head. Aroma is pure coffee. Flavor is, well, coffee with notes of chocolate. Not as roasty as some coffee beers can be, but this is apparently a porter and not a stout, that could explain it. Quite wonderful.

Pours a light black, with beige head. Aroma is malty, with lots of coffee and roastiness, some hoppy notes. Taste, light coffee / espresso just all over, from start to finish, malty, roastiness. Some grains barley/ wheat, with light hoppy presence, leaves for a nice mouthfeel and finish. Medium/low carbonation, has the signature malt / hops used in other Kona beers. An excellent porter, one of my top Kona beers. Leaves a long lasting coffee flavor in the mouth that is very pelasing.

Crisp very hazy golden coloured body with a thinnish white head and a bunch of bubbles rising from the sides of the glass. Aroma of fresh hops, grass, yeast, wheat and a little sweetness. Medium-bodied; Strong malt up front with a spicey flavour and a potent malt backbone - a touch of hops near the finish. Aftertaste shows some pepper and a mostly malt finish. Overall, a nice and refreshing, clear and subtle finish with a good potent taste up front. I can’t say too much bad about this beer - it isn’t amazing, but isn’t bad in any respect! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased on my 27th birthday, 30-June-2008 at Norm’s in Vienna, Virginia, sampled on 21-September-2008.
