Amber in color with a creamy white head, this rich, cream ale uses medium roast cold-brewed coffee for its roasted flavor and aroma, but without the astringency or bitterness of other coffee beers. Oats and Munich malt give this beer a rich, velvety mouthfeel. The addition of Sterling hops balances the subtle sweetness and rich flavors to create a very complex, but very pleasant flavor profile.

    Better this time

    I brewed the replacement Mr. Beer so generously sent to me and used Colombian coffee this time. Home Run! No pepper taste this time. A very enjoyable beer.

    Swing & a Miss

    I followed all the instructions to a tee fermented & carbonated 3 weeks each added the cold-pressed coffee cold crashed bottled then began conditioning. Tried one after 3 weeks & it had a distinct pepper taste rather than coffee. Conditioned some more & the same thing. Now after 10 weeks of conditioning it still hits me with a pepper taste with no hint of coffee. I don't know if I did something wrong if some infection crept in or the coffee I used was a bad mix with the malt. In any event this is one recipe I won't revisit.

    CTKevWe're sorry to hear that the recipe didn't come out well for you. It sounds like the coffee you used created green pepper or vegetal flavors in your beer. We have updated the instructions for this recipe after receiving your review. The instructions now go into more detail about coffee choice. If you reach out to our Customer Service team at customerservice@mrbeer.com we'd like to make this bad batch up to you.

    So far...so good

    Tasted great just after a week in the fridge. Fermented for 3 weeks and bottle conditioned for 3. If you want a distinct coffee taste go with 2 cups.

    Standard brew

    Like it same as other brews by Mr. Beer but all brews and recipes tend to tastes the same no matter the recipe to me. This one yes the coffe note are the difference and make this particular brew different than my previous 24 batches from this brand. But the creamy not so creamy feel.

    Flat

    I followed the directions and they said to cold crash it when I put the coffee in it which was one day after I bottled and added the sugar. Therefore I believe it could not carbonate due to putting it into the fridge one day after bottling. So it did not carbonate at all. I think it would have been good if it would have carbonated because I really liked the flavor.
