On Tap at The Dog & Cask in Rochelle Park, NJ
I've had the tasting notes for this beer sitting on my desk for a while, just procrastinated writing the review. I first sampled this beer on January 28th, and it was pretty amazing stuff.
Pours a hazy dark tan with thin white lacing for the head. Smells entirely of just pure fresh ground coffee. Essentially like opening a fresh can of coffee. Taste is coffee up front and then an amazing vanilla/sugar dominating sweetness. Really surprising because there isn't really any sweetness in the nose. Both of these flavors linger for a decent amount of time - the coffee a little longer, bring just the tiniest bit of coffee bitterness, but definitely extremely enjoyable bitterness if you like coffee.
But seriously, wow.
ABV of 12% is completely hidden. Dangerously hidden almost, for how delicious and smooth this one is. Very low carbonation presence.
This beer is supposed to mimic a regular coffee in NJ: coffee with milk and two sugars. It does this magnificently well.
Overall Rating: 4.65/5
