From DRAFT Magazine:

This black beer truly takes on the dual meaning of “brew;” it’s nearly indistinguishable from its non-alcoholic counterpart. There’s no mistaking coffee’s role in the rise-and-shine aroma: Oily, roasted whole coffee bean scents penetrate the nose. It’s incredible how full and complete the espresso flavor surges on the tongue; light caramel sweetness paves the way for intense roasted notes and deep coffee bitterness that lasts deep into the swallow, making it difficult to determine if you’ll get inebriated or jittery from having one too many.
