750 ml bottle sent by Schlafly in 2016. This is the one beer I forgot I had. But I found it in my cellar, and chilled it for my 65th birthday. Well behaved as I popped the cap. Poured an opaque brown beer with a very thin ring of foam. Smell is a mixture of spices, maybe like the Trader Joe's Vintage ales. I thought I had read somewhere that this was 10% abv, but now I can't find confirmation. Taste has a mellow blend of spice, luckily not ruined by age. Toasty malts. Again, age may have taken out some of the hops, since I just get a balance against any malt sweetness. This beer kind of defines its own style. An American spiced ale? A very slight bit of dreg at the bottom of the bottle, maybe more settled-out spices than yeast.

Bottle, big black pour. I like it better when coffee beers are dark instead of pale colored, its expected. ya know? Yep, smell like coffee after I pop the lid. First taste is big black cold coffee, can't find the beer in here, its just big & black and smelling like coffee. Looks like coffee, smells like coffee tastes like coffee, must be coffee, no? Just asking. Continuing on, there is an indication of carbonation that may be related to coffee. Kaldi is overwhelming in this brew, its Kaldi, over the top and into the Black of night, I guess I'll be up all night after drinking this one sided brew, whew. Yes, think coffee, coffee and coffee. I should have had this when I woke up this morning instead of my normal 8 o'clock brand. There, you have it. Need a cup of cold coffee? Just asking.
