UPDATED: JAN 1, 2022 Can, from Costco. Pours clear dark brown with a reddish tint, large spongy tan head, coffee-roasted malt aroma, medium carbonation, medium bitter milk chocolate-caramel taste, thin smooth body, long chocolate finish. Very smooth and tasty.

UPDATED: DEC 31, 2021 dark brown color; roasted malt and coffee aroma; malt, roasty, coffee flavor with a dry, bitter finish

UPDATED: DEC 28, 2021 Can. Muddy brown, topped with a pillowy tan head. Sweet, malty aroma. Drinks with the prototypical caramel swirl, suitable for a bowl of vanilla ice cream. I don't get much of an espresso presence, but do get a little of that cereal/oatmeal chewiness. Decent. (#8127, 12/2021)

UPDATED: DEC 17, 2021 Nearing end of holiday pack. Brown pour and fine head. Not sure why tis is strong ale and not imp brown perhaps the angel wings. Nose is nutty and cocoa. Tastes similar and cream soda. Medium bodied. Pleasant

UPDATED: DEC 11, 2021 12 Beers of Christmas. The aroma is very much like coffee, milk chocolate, malted grains, and caramel. The appearance is brown with a large head. The taste is like the aroma with a long coffee and bitter hops finish. The palate is smooth. Overall an interesting beer. Good, but not great. I am not sure what style it tastes like most.

UPDATED: DEC 6, 2021 It pours dark brown with a tan head. Head retention is good. It has coffee and roast aromas. It has a bit of nut notes with very low fruit. It has roast and coffee flavors with some nuts and fruity elements well into the background. The alcohol is noticeable. It has a medium body with slight sweetness and strong bitterness. Overall, beer has nice balance and plenty of flavors that work well together.

UPDATED: NOV 13, 2021 Roast and light coffee. Dark brown pour with good head and lacing. Bitter finish. Some nut. Good balance. Can from mixed holiday pack.

Malty taste with notes of caramel, toffee, fresh coffee, dark bread, chocolate, dark fruit, red berries, brown sugar and a balanced coffee bitterness in the finish. Almost full body, with a touch of sweetness. Malty with caramel and a mild coffee character. Tasty and well balanced. Nice one.

UPDATED: DEC 23, 2019 Well, taking the label literally, breakfast it is! Late breakfast though, 10.40. Pours dark brown, translucent, minimal but persistent and lacey beige head. Aroma of coffee, roasted malts, chocolate. Tastes mildly bitter with a lot of malty sweetness. Nut, coffee, lactose, chocolate, for a full bodied ale with a very round, smooth and creamy mouthfeel. Very rich of lingering flavours with unnoticeable booze. Awesome brew!
