Mother Earth “Milk Truck Latte” Coffee 5.8% abv

Bob: The base beer is reliable. This rendition is even better. If only it weren’t for the lingering ring ring ring… VERY GOOD/EXCELLENT

Chris Smith: Wow. EXCELLENT. Great taste and texture.

Bridger: Tastes great. EXCELLENT. I’m like the Russian Synchronized Drinking judge. I can be bought.

Knapp: I like coffee. I like this. VERY GOOD

Glenn: I love coffee. I love this. Digging the can art, too. EXCELLENT

Morgan Territory “Midnight Sea” Coffee Imperial 8.7% abv 45 IBU

Bob: Where’s the info about the beer? FAIR/GOOD

Chris Smith: VERY GOOD. Why is m__th f__l not allowed?

Knapp: What? No rolled oats? Delivers what it promises. VERY GOOD

Bridger: VERY GOOD

Glenn: Can art says coffee beans. It’s not lying. VERY GOOD

Alvarado Street Brewing “Midnight Supreme” Imperial 9% abv

Bob: Maybe the previous beer fouled my taste buds. No chocolate. GOOD at first. Next day: VERY GOOD. Not a free range CO2 cannister, unfortunately.

Chris Smith: Great balance. It’s an orchestra of flavor. EXCELLENT

Knapp: EXCELLENT. Can art is very Twin Peaks. Cacao or Capao?

Bridger: VERY GOOD

Glenn: VERY GOOD

Perennial Artisan Ales “Sump” Coffee Stout 11.5% 60 IBU

Bob: This might be one of the best things I have ever tasted. The coffee isn’t overwhelming. Great mix of lactose and the hard stuff. EXCELLENT over the course of three days needed to consume it. Bad can info.

Knapp: VERY GOOD. Unfortunate name for a beer. Even if it is the name of the coffee co. The coffee covers the booze for me.

Chris Smith: Dirty things like sump make me curious. VERY GOOD

Bridger: It’s leaving me speechless. Not a fan. Too boozey. FAIR

Glenn: Good can art. This is too much for me. Too much booze and coffee aftertaste . GOOD overall.
