First sip is very bitter, cold coffee. I'm actually wondering to myself right now what it would taste like if I added sugar and milk to this. Would it taste better and make me tolerate it like I can tolerate coffee if I have to? It's clear this isn't the beverage for me, but I'm going to keep this going for science! Time to swig like a man - a man who likes coffee.
Tip-in is carbonation tingle with grains that are not entirely coffee grounds. Yes, there are coffee grounds in there - that's what this beer is all about - but I'm talking of proper beer grains. The middle sidles up with a very mild coffee overtone on top of a kind of breakfast biscuit of malt. The middle actually makes me think that I may like this beer, despite the coffee. But, the finish ends things with a sharp bitter dose of raw coffee grounds right in the tastebuds. I may give one of these to a friend and have him give me a more reliable score for this, as mine is obviously going to be skewed.
Bottom Line: Probably good, if you like coffee.
