Best Quote During Tasting

Of course I know what it means! I'm old but I'm not an idiot.

Justin:

Aroma - Spicy and earthy cold brewed coffee mix with bread crust malts. There is a very light chocolate aroma that mixes with some citrus hops that are hiding but there if you look for them.
Score: 10/12
Appearance - The beer is a transparent, deep brown with a HUGE tan head made up of loose, large bubbles that stick to the glass.
Score: 3/3
Flavor - This one is mostly bitter, roasty coffee but there is great balance with it as well. The hop citrus from the aroma is much bigger in the flavor and also brings a spicy quality that adds a whole new layer. The final thing I get is a molasses or brown sugar flavor that isn't so much sweet, just...there.
Score: 17/20
Mouthfeel - Medium carbonation and a medium body, make for a tongue-coating smoothness.
Score: 4/5
Overall Impression - Evil Twin has a fanboy following and it's easy to see why. Due to them being a contract brewer, they have the unique ability to have dozens of beers on the shelf at one time. That leaves a lot of options for a lot of people and most are going to find something they like. This one was a nice twist on a coffee beer because it wasn't a big, full stout and the coffee was present but not overwhelming. I hesitate to say this is a summer beer but I'll be damned if I won't have one on a hot day to find out.
Score: 8/10
