"Brewed with boatloads of roasted coffee in each batch for that extra Krunk… "
Well, I didn't ask for an Krunk. Sounds like something I'd scrape off my boot. (Just another chance to demonstrate my non-hipster-ness). I was interested in a good coffee stout. So on receipt of this bounty, I poured it into a Pint glass and watched the nice tall, firm tan head form; took a whiff of the roasted-malty-aroma; and took a sip. Hmmmm. Mostly malt is evident, the coffee seeming to impart more a dark roast bitter edge to the beer rather than overt coffee flavors. The beer off the top benefited from extra creaminess due to the nice foam layer. If you like your beer like you like your coffee, black & bitter, give it a try. A great value for the price, but probably not the Coffee Stout you've been waiting for all your life.
My Rating: 3.75 / 5
Untappd: 3.83 / 5
Prost!
