Southern Tier Jah-va

Another Southern Tier... we don't lie here at Fine Brew Reviews. This unique beer pours black, which isn't surprising since its part of their imperial/black water series, with a caramel colored head that quickly fades into nothing. The smell is strong - coffee. Besides that I can sense some hints of dark malts, chocolate, and sweet hints (probably caramel). The taste is very strange for a beer, its like someone took an iced coffee and poured some alcohol and malts in it. At the end of the initial coffee taste there are subtle hints of chocolate which a bitter alcohol finish. It masks the 11% alcohol very well, and is one of the smoother brews we have reviewed thus far. Highly recommend to anyone who enjoys a nice cup of joe with a kick.

Appearance - 3.8
Smell - 4.0
Taste - 4.0
