Brew Info:

• Brewery: Proper Brewing Company (Salt Lake City, Utah)
• Website: http://www.properbrewingco.com/ 
• Brew: The Coffeenator
• Style: Doppelbock Lager / German-style Bock
• Serving: 16 ounce can
• ABV: 8.0%
• IBUs: 20
• Ingredients: Coffee doppelbock lager aged in Rye barrels
• Pour: The Coffeenator pours an opaque, deep, dark mahogany brown color with a creamy, light mocha, half-finger head that dissipates to a thin ring with soapy, sudsy lacing.
• Nose: The nose is malty, rich, woody, slightly sweet, and boozy.  There are aromas of dark roasted coffee, oak, rye whiskey, and burnt toffee.
• Taste: The taste of The Coffeenator follows the nose with bold, malty, boozy, slightly fruity, and rich flavors.  There are notes of dark roasted coffee, hints of dark chocolate and cocoa, dark roasted coffee/espresso, hearty, dark-toasted bread, dark fruits (raisins and dates), sweet toffee/caramel, and rich rye whiskey.
• Mouthfeel: Full-bodied and moderately carbonated, the mouthfeel of The Coffeenator is thick, chewy, and smooth with a dry, slightly boozy, and bittersweet finish.

Overall pairing: The Coffeenator's bold and boozy flavors and aromas are perfect for the hard-hitting, straight-forward, classic heavy metal punch that is Temtris' ass-kicker compilation album "Rewinding Time"!  It's that bold and assertive flavor of the brew that works so well with their aggressive metal attack!  And I really like the thematic and visual pairing of the album cover art and the beer can label!  'Nuff Said!

Cheers and hails!!
