I am not sure it's "beer" the label says 'malt beverage' so I assume there is some technical difference. (soory I'm not that smart.

Nice light fizzy texture, crisp, good coffeee taste and aroma.. missing actual beer tastes though, but it's quite a nice drinking beverage.

Drinking this one on a nice stormy evening, after stuffing my face with some chicken tacos. Listening to some hardcore punk ... Drip of Lies.

Glass: Port City "Craft Pub" pint glass.

Appearance: Dark reddish brown. It looks like rust. Extremely hazy, with light still able to penetrate when hold up to a light source. A fairly aggressive pour produced little head, about a half a finger which quickly dissipated. No lacing to speak of.

Smell: Coffee, a bit of chocolate, underlying sweetness like that found in Belgian quads. I get that impression mostly from the yeast, perhaps, although there may be some dark fruit and caramelized aroma to be found deep within. The coffee smell seems a bit artificial almost, like those found in many coffee flavored beers.

Taste: Coffee comes through first, and certainly sticks around on the tongue long after swallowing. Some sweetness is there, as well as a bit of a bit of breadiness perhaps. Really though, the coffee is most prevalent, and even as a coffee drinker I find it to be a bit much. Would prefer more of those classic dopplebock flavors.

Mouthfeel: It leaves a definite resin like stickiness on my tongue. Lips feel sticky as well. Medium carbonation and medium body. Slightly dry finish.

Overall: Eh, it's good if I am in the mood for an iced coffee made with somewhat stale tasting coffee. The sweetness and malts are great, but they take a definite backseat to the coffee.
