Using the Downriver Red (an older German style called an altbier) as the base, the brewer added coffee extract for the secondary fermentation. ( Please note this was not the beer originally planned for tonight. That one exploded in the cooler. )
In our Fan Club glasses, the heads are crazy thick. They belong on a pie! Dark amber in color, the aroma is about as complex as you can get. Malt. Hops. A tad of coffee. It is all there.
On the tongue, the coffee is more prominent but the taste is still hard to peg.
Even though I am lacking good vocabulary, this beer is lacking nothing. Damn good. 4 out of 5.
