Location: 12 oz bottle from Charleston Beer Works, 12/8/12
Aroma: The nose has lots of sweet malts, some caramel, fruity notes, yeast, and toffee
Appearance: This one pours a slightly hazy golden-orange color, with a foam laced off-white head
Flavor: The taste is pretty sweet, with some fruity notes, and a slightly metallic bitterness
Palate: This beer has a medium body, with a soft carbonation, and a lengthy, off, metallic finish
Overall Impression: Overall, this one was not a favorite for me. It is missing any of the wanted citrus or resiny hop bitterness that one might enjoy in this style. Also, it just doesn’t come off clean at all, and the metallic feel takes away from the enjoyment. I didn’t hate it, but it was a mediocre at best example of the style for me.

Location: 12 oz bottle from Charleston Beer Exchange, 12/7/12
Aroma: The nose is coffee malts, with some caramel and chocolate notes as well
Appearance: It pours a nice clearish brown color with a slight orange hue and a beige head
Flavor: The taste is a little sweet and a little roasty, fairly malty, with a light coffee bitterness
Palate: It has a medium body, leaning light, it is smooth, creamy, and a little chalky, and a lightly dry finish
Overall Impression: This one felt pretty solid to me. It has a nice mouthfeel and a decent flavor. There’s a nice coffee component as you’d expect. Solid stuff, but I’ve had plenty of more interesting coffee beers.
