      This one said the coffee lovers beer on the package! Challenge excepted me and the Face decided. Seeing the head rise up on this one a chocolate brown I knew we found a good one. The scent off the glass is coffee and a sweet almost fig scent. On first taste you get a sweet caramel flavor. As you drink more though you get that nice coffee bitter that you would expect. This beer also has a nice body. Full but not thick as bread. The yeast comes through cleanly and helps bring out more of that coffee. Overall lived up to most my expectations, as a said coffee lover!
      This was a great stout from Maine. Bitter and full body it's a strong contrast from Sea Dog brewing. To sea dogs defense though, fruit beers have to be something special to rate, and that's all I've had from them. If you get a McGovern's and not at least appreciate it then you must not appreciate beer. 

Rating: ****1/2
