Thanks Richard and Alanna!

A: A pale apricot amber in color with a very small white head.

S: Coffee, a touch of burnt malt, and perhaps a hint of hot pepper.

T: Rich coffee, caramel malts, and a hint of spice. A touch of lingering bitterness rounds out the flavor.

M: Medium mouthfeel with moderate carbonation, and a bit of a cling to the finish.

O: Overall a pretty good brew.. Nice to see coffee behaving in an interesting and new way, and I like the combo of rye/coffee.

 

 

 

Light copper/orange body. Slight cloudiness. One and a half finger white, soapy head. Spotty lacing and a thin, broken ring.
Big aroma of brewed coffee with some graininess in the background. A little earthy, with a touch of anise.
Coffee forward yet balanced taste. Grainy malts, coffee and some lemon and floral hop notes. A hint of anise seed spicyness on the finish.
Medium body and carbonation. Prickly mouth feel towards the end of a overall soft beer.

 

 

 

12 oz can poured into willybecher glass canned on 1/12.

A: Light amber orange body with only a slight haziness may be due to the coldness. Head was a relatively small white that looked creamy with tiny bubbles.

S: lots coffee and a little vanilla with maybe just the hints of some rye.

T: The coffee is at the forefront but the rye and light spice come in the middle the beer finishes slightly bitter with some light hops mostly floral.

M: medium bodied lighter carbonation fairly dry finish.

O: It’s not bad, but not something I would look for either. It’s a nice combination though.

 

 

Appearance: The head settles in at one finger with the hazy amber liquid below; dots and squiggles of lacing'

Smell: Coffee with cream buttressed by a husk/grainy tone

Taste: Coffee with cream forward, with the spicy, almost minty, rye element building; earthy hops, in the middle; a touch of oatmeal with brown sugary sweetness, through the finish

Mouthfeel: Medium body with moderate carbonation

Overall: An intriguing recipe, but it really works nicely; well-balanced all around

Thanks, N-Gogol, for the opportunity

 

Light amber with a short off-white foam head.

Smell is coffee with cream, toasty graham, and gold malt.

Taste is more Pilsener-grounded with Corn Flakes, grassy bitter greens and light roast coffee via a light body that's crisp but bubbly with a dry finish.
