Bottle at HogTownHarry Fest 08. Hazy/cloudy pale gold with thin white head. Soapy cereal, some orange spice. Good carbonation, not too much cereal. Nice citrus sting on finish, bit of clementines. Mixed spice finish. Excellent wit.

Bottle at HogTownHarry Fest 08. Chestnut colour with lychee and dusty hop aroma. Thin bubbly beige head. Pretty nice, good grapefruit, lychee. Good malts. Caramel nuts. Duff says "it’s a bit like a Snickers bar." Pretty good. I liked it. Really sessionable beer.

Bottle, 5.5%. Roasted and bitter coffee aroma. Very dark brown colour with a red shine. Small brown head. The flavour has some coffee and a hint of sour cardboard. Late bitterness, like coffee and chocolate.

Thanks Mabel for sharing! Poured an inky dark black, near opaque with a nicely thick nearly brown head. Aroma was rich with a chocolatey sweet coffee. Hint of roast in the background. This is one of the better smelling coffee beers I’ve tried. Medium chocolate and roast flavors, medium to light body, with a distinct coffee flavor that leads into a cold coffee bitterness in the finish. Like many coffee beers, it lacks a certain depth and fullness. Medium to semi-dry finish.
