12 ounce brown bottle with freshness date.

Black with a 1/2 inch tan head.

As expected it smells of ground coffee though not ovewhelmingly so.

Slight roasted coffee flavor with undertones of chocolate. I found it to be a little lighter than many coffee infused beers which is more to my liking.

Not something I'd search out, but certainly good enough to drink as part of the Winter Classics 12 pack.

12 oz bottle into Deschutes tulip snifter

A - Not much head, retention, or lacing - but some. Beer is a very dark brown/ruby with bits of khaki foam.

S - Slighty burnt coffee grind character, bits of sweet dark malt. Nothing that offensive, really, but not much to write about.

T - The coffee flavor is dominant, but it has that same kind of wet coffee grind character. Tastes a lot like carbonated coffee, but not particularly good coffee.

M - Not as oily as I'd like, but not bad. Carbonation is a little off - closer to a cola than an American Stout. It's ok.

O - Drinkable but not impressive. Concept is ok, but they need a better coffee component if they do it again. As is... Next, please!
