This beer is an offshoot of the very popular Iron Horse Brewery Irish Death (apparently the favorite beverage of Central Washington University). Pours a black and opaque, similar to when someone shuts off the light while your taking a shower (you get a little scared). 1 finger of creamy tan head that fades quickly with little to no lacing. Aromas of dark roasted coffee beans and espresso. The flavor is similar with a heavy coffee smack in the face. Not overly sweet with a medium bitter from the coffee and a dark chocolate finish. I found the coffee balances the sweetness nicely (I personally think that IHB's Irish Death is too sweet). If they started serving this at my favorite coffee shop, I wouldn't be mad about it...
