6.10 - Wake Me Up, Mr Perkulator

Monday's suck, right?  They drag, you're exhausted..  well coffee usually does the trick.  Usually.  How about AFTER work hours.  Yeah, beer.  Perfect


Dark Horse - Perkulator Coffee Dopplebock
a 7.5% ABV 21 IBU Dopplebock style beer brewed with coffee/with coffee added.  Who knows, there's coffee.. can;t go wrong.  Right?  Sounds like the style would go great with coffee.. so let's see.  It's a murky brown pour that fades to coppery brown near the top.. almost no head.  Pretentious-coffee-shop roasted coffee aroma with some milder cacao and caramel notes, faint smoke.  This is a great coffee beer.. it straddles the fence of being artificially flavored and overly bitter-roasted coffee quite well, as well as having solid wheat malts to back up the Dopplebock categorization.  It's not overly sweet, nor heavy.. there's just the right amount of cocoa, roast, and plenty of coffee to back up the name.  And while it's not exuding the most exquisite gourmet roasted coffee flavors, this taste most like my ideal cup of coffee.  Just a malty, roasty, coffee-tastic brew.
