The mfg. website states that it could be used as a replacement for coffee and I agree, after dinner coffee that is. This is no 7am wake up call. There is no bitterness to this beer and it almost has a wine smell to it, my wife who hates beer found this to be drinkable. I don’t know if I would like it in 110 degree Texas heat but as a Fall or Winter beer this one is great.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Last Impressions:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;#160; Dark and complex. Your last drink is a good as the first. Go forth and find this beer!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Drinkability: &lt;/strong&gt;10 out of 10&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Drunkability:&lt;/strong&gt; 6 out of 10… It’s just too dark and too expensive to get drunk with although the 10.5% alcohol does provide a nice mellow feeling after a glass&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mfg.
