Best Quote During Tasting

I bought this beer because I was going to a parade.  True story. 

Justin:

Aroma - No green pepper on the nose (my biggest peeve with coffee beers)!  There's a sweetness that is quite interesting because I can't place where it's from (burnt sugar maybe?).  It's roasty with dark chocolate and a dry graininess in the aroma.  Coffee is there but not overwhelming. Breathe deep enough and you'll even get some earthy hops.
Score: 9/12
Appearance - Deep brown, nearly black with ruby highlights and brown head that leaves behind some great lacing. 
Score: 3/3
Flavor - Again, coffee is there but not overwhelming and there's a big chocolate character shining through.  There is some bitterness that is mostly from the malt and some great dark malt character coming in as well.  
Score: 16/20
Mouthfeel - Light-medium body with low-medium carbonation.  It's thin and creamy?  Is that possible?
Score: 3/5
Overall Impression - This one was...unique.  The mouthfeel confused the hell out of me and the flavor was more chocolate than coffee.  That being said, it was a solid beer.  Would I pick it up again?  Probably not.  But if you like the style it's worth giving it a look because it could be your next go-to.
Score: 8/10
