FROM THE MOUTH: I don't think you can go wrong with the Sierra Nevada Brewing Company beers. I have been very impressed so far with  the quality and drinkability. Smells great if you like coffee beans and chocolate. Flavor is slightly sweet with roasted malt, dark chocolate and coffee all swirling around in this medium bodied brew, quite bitter aftertaste.

FROM THE STORE: Huckleberry's
