OK, let's see how bad this one is...
Loud pppssstt when opening, but no rush of foam, but a careful pour does yield a gigantic foamy brown head that sticks around forever, again signs of infection, sticky lacing, dark almost black color
Nose is all coffee, fresh roasted and cold brewed at least smooth coffee, but the obvious Costa Rican aroma that I'm not a big fan of for coffee, but I can't hold that against the beer, a little fudgey cocoa and caramel, touch nutty, but otherwise not much beer-wise, just coffee
Taste again is all coffee up front, cold brewed smooth coffee without the harsh tannins, and obvious Costa Rica flavor of what I call stale flavor, a little nutty, and very light fudgey cocoa, some caramel, but otherwise again no real beer some bitterness kicks in, med at first then med-high on the finish, stick finish, with lingering nutty coffee, some acidity but seems from yeast or infection rather than coffee
Mouth is med to fuller bod, but again waaaaaay too much carbonation that distracts the beer itself, light alcohol and acidity
Overall another mess, possible infection or just under attenuated when they bottled, but covered by the coffee that just dominates everything, another mess of a beer. One more.
