Rise & Grind - it's a wake-up call, a brewer's breakfast. This smooth and luscious ale imparts flavors of coffee, chocolate and toasted grain. Layers of freshly roasted Gemelli coffee gives the beer an extra twist. Brewed for those of us who roll up our sleeves, and grind out the day.

From the bottle, it pours a dark brown with a large, light brown, head. The nose gets lot of coffee. The mouth gets some coffee with a bite of the carbonation. Overall, a light mouthfeel.

Beautiful deep and dark color with huge fizzy head. Aromas of coffee are the focal point. Flavor of coffee is present but the carbonation is too overpowering. This is listed as a stout on this site, but the carb tells me otherwise. Coffee flavor is short and sweet with almost non-existent tastes at the end.

decent beer, its been awhile since i have had or even seen anything from these guys, nice to see they are still at it. this is a little our of proportion, but its still pretty tasty. there is a lot of bitter darker roasted barley, charred and pretty intense in here, and it not only covers up some of the coffee in the flavor, but also sort of contributes to a bitterness double jeopardy, hard to drink a ton of this as a result, even though its round and smooth and the alcohol is low. the coffee smells more forward and fresh than it tastes, its lost to the roast a bit. some nice notes of milk chocolate and even piney hops break through here at various times, but the beer could use a little scaling back on the dark malt side, let the coffee do a little more of the heavy lifting here. i like the fuller body and i like how it lasts long, never quite finishing, just carrying on with the coffee and the bitterness. solid overall brew, but not a great base beer to feature what sounds like a high quality and interesting coffee...

Single bottle copped from Total Wine and More. Outstanding stuff. True-to-the-name coffee flavor evident in the nose and on the tongue. Fresh espresso and cappuccino flavors whirling through. Refreshing and easily drinkable. Recommended.

poured from 12oz bottle into a pint glass. no dating that i could find.
looks very good, jet black with a generous oatmeal cookie color head. head persists in lesser form, though not much lacing.
smell is very inviting and strongly coffee/expresso. not getting much else on the nose.
taste is not as strongly coffee as the nose would have you believe. slightly bitter as well. mouth is slightly foamy but on the lesser side of medium.
overall a decent enough beer. if only the taste had matched the nose.....
