Poured from a 16oz can to a snifter at 52F. The can is undated, but it was purchased 8-days ago at the brewery, and was also on tap there at the time.
The pour stream is like dark cola, but in the glass it is opaque black except when held to bright sunshine. Initially there is a significant brown foam head, but it fades to a miniscule ring shortly. Lacing is minimal with a lifespan of only a few seconds after the glass swirl.
There is a nice coffee aroma along with a muted leaf-mulch smell.
The taste is kick-ass unsweetened coffee. I can’t say I have ever had cold-brewed coffee, but this beer example is pretty good. Bitterness without being overly so without acidic notes or off-flavors. There is a sense of dark unsweetened chocolate in the finish. The very subtle alcohol sense reminds you that this is beer and not cold coffee. Afterall, this is only a 6.3% ABV beer.
The mouthfeel is basically like coffee- thin, not coating, no stickiness. Carbonation is just below medium.
I am not a morning alcohol drinker, but this could absolutely substitute for coffee at breakfast if you are so inclined.
