Cycle Cream & Sugar, Please

This coffee porter is brewed with chocolate and dark chocolate malts to give a robust backbone for the lactose (milk sugar) to build on and is finished with Mazarro’s coffee to create a beer with a silky mouthfeel, rich flavor, and the satisfying taste of coffee. 4.9% ABV

3.4 How: Draught. Where: MBCC 2019. Appearance: Brown colour with a tan head. Aroma: Coffee, roasted malt, caramel, more coffee, some chocolate. Body: Medium body and carbonation. Flavour: Coffee, roasted malt, some chocolate, a bit sweet.

4.4 It's kind of a like a milk stout but much lighter in body and some nice coffee notes to go along with it.

3.6 Pours a dark clear brown with a khaki head. Aromas of coffee and malt sweetness. Taste s lot of coffee and some of the lactose comes through also. Very nice beer. Clean finish. A little thin for me but that is the only thing.

4.2 lots of thin coffee awesomeness going on.

3.2 Tap at MBCC. Pours black-dark brown. Aroma and flavor are sweet, chocolate, beany coffee, roast, malt. Overall: ok.

3.6 Tap. Dark brown color with beige head. Aroma is cocoa, lactose, chocolate, earthy. Taste is milk chocolate, cappuccino, vanilla ice cream. Oily mouthfeel with medium carbonation. Tasty, but not great.

3.6 Draft at Brew Hub Taproom - St. Louis, served in a flight. Pours a mostly clear cola brown with amber highlights and a small beige head that settles into a ring and thin film. Notes of chocolate, caramel, cream, brown sugar, light coffee, and a bit of earthiness. Light-bodied, with modest carbonation and a smooth, sweet mouthfeel. Not the kind of Cycle stout I'm used to.

3.6 Average can. Clear, deep root beer, ruddy brown pour with a large oatmeal colored head. Inviting, sweet, coffee-tinged aroma. Sweet, not very roasted, not very bitter. This was just a really drinkable brown ale. Not overthought or gimmicky, but with a little nod to that roastiness and the interim between a brown ale and a porter. Market Square Liquors, Tallahassee.

3.3 Watery and boring. Light roast and some coffee. Pours black with ok head and lacing. Some dark chocolate. Tap at brewery.

3.7 Pours cola brown, sweet, almost tea-like (Chinese black tea) aroma instead of coffee, light malty taste upfront, sugary sweet chocolate ending, tasty, tap.

3.1 Can shared at Lucky Bamboo share. Pours a clearish brown with a finger of foam that lingers throughout. Lots of tea and light roasted coffee notes in the nose. More Lipton's tea with creamer on the palate. Easy drinking but thin and slightly watery. Finishes with more tea and cream notes.

3.9 On tap at HopCat in Port St Lucie. Almost black pour with a small brown head. Quite a sweet nose; cafe au lait. Taste is surprisingly not too sweet. Roasty. Some lactose with sugar. GorjusGirl's favorite. Not too deep. Solid & tasty. 14.2

3.1 Both coffee and sugar flavor. Taste like a morning coffee that you wake up to. Not harsh but has a characteristic for a session style

3.5 Draft at the brewery before trying the hazelnut. Overall a nice porter with some hints of coffee, especially in the long finish. Nice.

3.6 Sample at Mikkeller Beer Celebration Copenhagen 2018, Gold Session. Aroma has hazelnut, toasted malt and rye bread crust. Taste is bready, bitter, earthy and nutty with toasted malt flavor.

3.7 13May2018 Dusty straw, dark chocolate, cacao, burnt toast, creamy chocolate. Hazy, very dark brown, massive, creamy, beige head. Light bitter. More dark chocolate, cacao, dark roast coffee, soft carbonation, medium bodied. Decent. Keg at MBCC18 Sunday Session, Copenhagen.

2.0 11.05.2018, tap @ MBCC: Nice slightly fizzy-creamy mediumlasting head. Aroma is slightly sweet mineraly, dark sugar, hay, toast, dark malts, licorice, weeds, minerals, bark, paper. Taste is slightly dry mineraly, weeds, hay, minerals, grass, bark, paper, dark malts, soil. Medium bitterness, very watery mineraly mouthfeel. Meh!

3.7 Dark beer with big brown foamy head. Rich chocolate and coffee nose. Burnt caramel, sweetened coffee and bitter chocolate. I had this out of a ten day old crowler, but it seemed fine. A little thin maybe.

3.9 Draft. An amber beer with a beige head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt, caramel, coffee, and chocolate. The flavor is sweet with notes of roasted malt, alcohol, caramel, coffee, and chocolate, leading to a dry roasted finish.

3.5 Draft. Pours black. The taste is coffee beans. Hints of vanilla. Good stout.

3.8 CBC2015, Pours brown with a beige head, aroma of chocolate, coffee, roasted, great, flavor of chocolate, roasted malt, coffee, medium to full bodied

3.7 Draft @ CBC 2015. Pours a black color with a small tan head. Has a roasted malty coffee and chocolate aroma. Roasted malty smooth chocolate milky coffee flavor. Has a roasted malty milky chocolate and coffee finish.

3.9 Draft pour at Cycle. Pours a near black with a thin, white head. Coffee roast, and toasty malt aroma. Bold coffee up front, with a vanilla and cream background. Black coffee bitter remainder. Dark chocolate constant. Delicious coffee porter.

4.1 Bottle. Pours clear brown with off white head. Nose and taste are exactly like a cup of cold coffee with cream and sugar added.

3.3 On tap at Cycle. Originally reviewed 11/2/2014. Black body. Medium off white head. Thick collar. Great retention. Aroma is roasted malt. Coffee. Lactose. Taste has sweetness from the lactose immediately. Coffee quickly overwhelms it, but the sweetness persists. Some roasted malt. Lactose finish. Medium light for a porter. Flavored by the adjuncts mostly. Too much lactose for me.

3.3 Poured from a tap. Medium brown color, medium frothy off white head with some lacing. Medium cocoa aroma. Medium body with a light cocoa malt and cream flavor with a medium finish.

3.8 Crowler. Poured a dark brown with a nice fluffy beige head. Aromas of chocolate, coffee, lactose. Flavor followed the nose with a sugar sweetness mixed in. Medium to light on the body, creamy texture, well carbed, slightly bitter on the end from the coffee. Just like drinking an ice coffee.

3.0 Crowler at a bottle share. Lots of cream, lots of sugar, slight Porter roast minimal coffee. Body is super thin, but I supposed that’s what you would expect from a 4.9% stout.

3.5 Draught@CBC2015. Black colour, small brown head. Aroma is coffee, some fruits, mild wood and a bit liquorice. Flavour is sweet malts, some toasted notes, mild wood as well as some coffee.
