Very good coffee brown ale. The coffee flavor has lots of juicy fruit flavor, and the brown ale has a great nutty maltiness. It’s creamy and a touch acidic on the palate. Not too much bitterness. I’m not normally a big coffee beer fan, but this is a nice one.

"this is true", thats all i could think when i finally got a chance to try this one, been waiting awhile. sometimes, more so than i would like, things dont add up to the hype surrounding them, maybe sometimes its a fad, or plain doesnt live up to the excitement, but this was really good, and i was happy because of it. good hoppy ipa for those of us hopheads.

This beer pours a dark brownish-black color with a medium tan head that recedes to a film eventually. Spotty lacing on the glass. Smoky, roasty aroma with notes of malt and chocolate. Medium body with a subtle smoked character, possibly tempered by the oak aging? Notes of dark chocolate and coffee as well. The finish is roasted malt with a touch of dark fruit on the back end. Pretty good overall.
