    He or she really loves coffee, and as such, is enamored with Supermassive Cafe Deth. The description probably explains why:

    Supermassive Café Deth - 14.1% - Single Barrel
    Is it a beer with lots of coffee, or is it coffee made from beer? This special Deth’s Tar sweet component boasts an elegantly elevated gravity and a hypersonic dose of Freshly Roasted ® Dark Matter Coffee. Experience the singularity that is our most aggressively dosed coffee beer we've ever produced.

    The rumors are true. Cafe Deth is incredible this year.

    Dark roast & medium roast coffee bean vibes intermingle up front; mild bourbon & chocolate syrup flavors follow with a faint oak finish. There's elements of cream & dark fruit that emerge as the beer warms up as well.

    And...the alcohol content is VERY WELL HIDDEN. Be careful...I almost popped open a second can before reminding myself this is nearly 15% ABV.

    Bravo!

    Agreed, opened a can when I got home, and it’s amazing. My favorite cafe since ‘16.

    Drove in from the western burbs, and unfortunately couldn’t partake in the variants, but the people around in line were raving about supermassive.

    My favorite draft variants were definitely the DB XO Lynott’s and Supermassive. Liked the rest quite a bit, Olde Gravedigger was probably done a disservice by being the only non-stout. Preferred maple/supermassive blend to just maple.

    Cracked a regular Cafe can at home, definitely agreed with the prior reviews

    @Veliksta1

    Any idea on when the western burbs might see distro of tar and cafe? I'm assuming next week?

    Will variants poured today be available Saturday? There were only a couple left this evening before close.

    Thanks!

    Looks like it. In a tweet about Supermassive, he said it “has kicked for tonight. Get your last chance to try it tomorrow starting at noon.”

    My wife and I will be making the drive up today--really looking forward to it, given all the stellar feedback of the last few pages.

    So I’m assuming that none of the cans ran out yesterday, and there should still be some available when I get back into town this week, correct? Usually you guys are good about posting on FB when things are running low, and I didn’tsee any posts like that.

    Yeah, @Veliksta1 when is this all headed out for distro? Based on the reviews, I basically want to slam Cafe Deth into my veins.

    This would technically count as a collab, but would have to be called Deth of flat_lander.

    Maybe, optimistically 100 people in the tap room. Five people in lines for cans. Everything on tap. Now would seem to be the time to come.

    Is there a release tomorrow or just a normal day? Thinking about making the trek to the city either way, just want to prepare myself. Thanks.

    Supermassive excellent, less sweet than Cafe, excellent roast coffee aroma, smooth, very rich and creamy, bourbon hits you as this warms but very manageable.

    Maple subtle aroma, maple comes through with taste, well balanced.

    My rankings for the five I tried, all very good to outstanding pours:

    1. Cafe Deth
    2. Supermassive Mega Cafe Deth
    3. Deth’s Tar
    4. Maple Deth
    5. Deth by Plums

    Most here snagged 2-3 can cases, plenty left, no strollers required. Beer economy booming at Revolution.
