The unique name Cup of Joe is believed to derive from the jamoke, or the blending of java and mocha. This term dates back to 1931 when it first appeared in the officer's military manual.

Relatively clear, dark brown body; thin yet lasting khaki colored head, dense and creamy; rings of lacing inside the glass. Nicely balanced smell of coffee and dark roasted grains; a bit of caramel and cocoa. The taste exudes rich caramel with notes of medium roast coffee and a touch of whiskey building behind the malt sweetness near the finish. Heavy body; lightly silky and soft; some alcohol warmth.
A nicely done if relatively low-key rendering of a barrel aged porter. Everything balances nicely, and there is no rough edges to speak of. I personally enjoy the relatively low ABV for this style of beer, too. It is good to see some restraint by a brewer when concocting such a beer.
