This is an imperial black wheat infused with a custom blend of Sumatran coffee from Alterra (a roaster in Milwaukee).
As opposed to an imperial stout with coffee, the black wheat base really allows the fantastic coffee flavor to shine through this beer. The aroma emanates with a wonderful scent of a bold coffee roast. Through the first sip you get some very nice roasty characters along with a fair amount of sweetness. There is a subtle fruitiness that comes forward in the middle of the sip here as well. Finishes with little to no astringency.
Overall, a very unique and delicious coffee beer. Lighter bodied and smoother than most coffee stouts, but also well balanced between the roasty character and the sweetness of the brew.

Pours a deep rooty black with almost no head; a thin ring forms and sticks around.

Actually a lot more wheat in the nose than I expected. Dark wheat, licorice, and light spicy coffee (black pepper). Slight lactose as well.

Flavor is way too alcohol forward. Fusel alcohol followed by, stroop, black pepper, coffee, and then finally a very nice sweet, creamy dark wheat finish. Breaths are of light pepper, coffee and cream.

Feel is medium bodied, heavily carbonated, and dry and roasty on the finish.

Overall, 3 Sheeps' Joe isn't bad, in fact it's quite good. I'd call this a cross between a coffee dark wheat ale and a doppelbock. Dial down the alcohol a bit and it would be super enjoyable.

Unknown vintage; drank 12/31/14 @ the Yarchives.

Poured from a bottle into a glass.

Brown/black hue.

Big dark tan head; nice lace.

Pepper heat & black coffee nose.

Medium thick, creamy mouthfeel.

Creamed coffee flavor up front; mild pepper heat in the finish. Simple, drinkable; instantly forgettable.

L: pour thick and balck
A: nice coffee for an ale
T: like the nose, nice coffee. Not bitter, but not sweet. I wish it was a richer and deeper coffee, but this isn't a stout.
F: smooth, easy drinking, fairly thick too.
O: a very nice coffee ale if you want something coffee but lighter than a stout
