Best Quote During Tasting

Schwetty Balls is his number 1.

Justin:

Aroma - There's a dry graininess with coffee bringing up the rear. There is chocolate and even a hint of nuttiness.
Score: 10/12
Appearance - The beer is deep brown with a light brown head that is made up of all tight bubbles.
Score: 3/3
Flavor - The coffee is subtle and there is some tartness to it that is somewhat mouth puckering. The chocolate is around and there is some chalky graininess as well.
Score: 15/20
Mouthfeel - The carbonation is just above medium and the body is just below. The mouthfeel is just below what I was expecting.
Score: 3/5
Overall Impression - I was expecting a lot more coffee out of this one. If you're gonna be a coffee beer, I expect to be smacked in the mouth with coffee. I just didn't get that here. I did enjoy the chocolate that I got out of the beer but I'm unsure of why there was that slight tartness to it. It could've been the coffee that was used but I wasn't a fan of that aspect of it.
Score: 7/10
