Well Prepared Alcohol Profile
"Super Coffee" Breakfast Beer

Tastes roasty malty, with notes of corn flakes, chocoff, almonds, and a dry peaty element.  In the middle The chocolate-rum-rasin-brandyish flavor is pleasant because the taste is mild but sweet and off-biter yet gentle.Standard sweet stout flavoring, resonating with cocoa powder, instant coffee and dark chocolate shavings. A little thin but backed by flavor. This beer is a good example that excellent ingredients make all the difference. On the 7th day God made this stout and he rested with a six pack.
