On cask at the Old Toad in Rochester, NY.
Pours a light amber brown color, with a one inch fizzy, bubbly head, and a little bit of lacing.
Smells purely of bitter roasted coffee. It's strong, with hints of nuts and vanilla, but it's quite overpowering.
If I wasn't at a bar, and was handed this at a coffee shop, I would have assumed it was some weird sort of coffee. As a variant of Ruination, it fails. It tastes basically nothing like it. The beer is heavily bitter, which is really the only vestige of the base beer remaining, but the coffee flavor itself is quite bitter anyway.
This one has a medium body, with a searing and lingering bitterness. Not all that drinkable because of that fact.
An interesting experiment, but it misses the mark slightly.
