This was (again) at the Montrose location.
Not sure what I wanted, this sounded tasty and claims to be using lots of fresh Itallian espresso.
Arrives a deep brown/black with a nice cap of foam. Looks terrific - almost like a Guinness commercial.
Fresh roasted coffee is definitely the primary smell, although there's no mistaking this is a beer. Still, pretty much everything else is subdued.
However in the flavor department you can definitely pick out some sweet chocolate malts that make for an excellent compliment to the slightly acidic and bitter coffee. Hops are even present here and there in sips, although they're taking an appropriate back seat.
Mouthfeel isn't as strong as I would've liked, however that contributed to a drinkability that is unmatched when it comes to most coffee beers. My pint was gone about as fast as any I've had.
Wow! This was a surprise and VERY good!

Poured an opaque black with a thick tan head. Great head retention and good lacing.
The dominant smell was coffee. I could smell little else.
Sweet coffee taste. Somewhat watery. It didn't taste like burnt coffee beans, but like coffee's aroma.
This brew was a medium body and a little bit watery. Coated my mouth well.
Easy to drink and not too filling. Excellent brew if you enjoy coffee. I would probably limit myself to two per sitting.
This beer is also available on nitro tap.
