Can this to LKS. it pours darkest brown with a medium tan head. The aroma is rich roasted malt, loads of coffee character, coffee, milk chocolate, earth and light toast. The taste is smooth, rich roast, bitter - sweet, coffee grounds, coffee cake, dried fruits, earth and toasty nut with a dry, toasty finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Decent for style.

Can split at Bespin, thanks to Leighton, 19/09/16. Rich mahogany brown topped with a decent tan swirl. Nose is toffee, light charr, coffee tones, brown bread, toasted brown sugars. Taste comprises richer coffee grinds, cocoa rub, tiramisu, brown sugar, roast malt, light peppery spice. Medium + bodied, fine carbonation, strong coffee profile in the close. Decent enough coffee impy.

Deep dark brown coloured body with a very small, perhaps a single centimetre tall off-white head. Aroma of rich chocolate, coffee, malt, earth and way more chocolate - very strong in the nose. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong chocolate and roasted malt flavours with a lot of nuts, earth, caramel and lactose all noticeable with a big rich chocolate finish. Aftertaste shows the smallest amount of nuts around with a bit of roasted malt, but the coffee and rich milk chocolate are always present. Overall, a nice rich beer that seems more like a sweet stout to me on the high alcohol side, but not like an imperial stout at all. Regardless, it’s good and you should try it if you can find it! I sampled this twelve ounce can . purchased from Spec’s Liqour in Dallas, Texas on 11-November-2015 for US$2,52 sampled at home in Washington on 06-September-2016

750mL flip top. 2015 vintage. This is definitely a single barrel, by that I mean it could use some blending. Been drinking this slowly over the past 2 hours. Its a hazy, cloudy golden color, looks dirty. The beer is an acetic vehicle, not unbearable and not overbearing but definitely a one trick pony. Its also only lightly carbonated. The acetic quality gives off some vinegar, fruit vinegar, melon and berries. However, there is an acidic burn at the back of my throat after a little bit of time. I think this needs to be blended because it has a real nice acetic character but needs more to balance the beer.

355ml can. Pours hazy amber, big frothy white head. Aroma is fresh, zippy pine. Taste is musty pithy grapefruit, dried apricot, mushy banana skins, pine needles. Lacks freshness and clarity.

Looks like a flat cola. Nose of oxidation cardboard for sure with a lot of really well balanced malty notes with some toffee. I am pretty sure this is an aged bottle with a fantastic n ose

Santa Fe Imperial Coffee Porter 8% Can from Argonaut in Denver, shared in Suma. A cola brown color with a beige head and a big coffee aroma. Medium bodied with a dry finish. The taste is like a sweet milk coffee, lactose? A solid beer that goes goes down smooth.

Bottle, RBSG 1016. Sweet BW nose, almost orange. First taste makes me think we need to age this a bit. Warming sensations, a little uncivilized. Typical american barleywine wanna bee. Not much of an american barleywine liker, but I was glad to have the chance to taste this. I don’t know if it would kill a chicken, but it’ll sure make ’em catch a buzz, whew.

Can pour. Aroma is cracker with roasted coffee bordering on ash, dark fruits. Appearance almost opaque black with borders of glass dark brown; huge 3-finger width beige foamy head with good retention and fair lacing. Taste is much like aroma with balance of sweet and bitter coffee dominating. Palate light-to-medium with thin, creamy texture, soft carbonation with more bitter than sweet coffee. Overall, a nice beer but have had better coffee flavored stouts.
