Deer Bear

Coffee Break presents a robust sensory journey, led by an assertive infusion of freshly roasted Fonte coffee. This Spice, Herb, or Vegetable Beer opens with a deep, layered bouquet of dark cocoa and creamy vanilla, immediately followed by the aromatic warmth of nutmeg. The palate is defined by the rich interplay of roasted grains and cold-brew coffee intensity, balanced by the subtle, sweet confectionery notes of cocoa and vanilla. The nutmeg provides a sophisticated, spicy counterpoint to the velvet-like malt foundation, ensuring the beer remains complex and engaging throughout. It is an indulgent, dessert-leaning experience that maintains its beer identity through a sturdy, roasted finish.

Appearance. Deep ebony to opaque black (SRM 40). Topped with a persistent, dense tan head that leaves consistent lacing. Clarity is opaque, typical for a heavily adjunct-laden dark ale.

Aroma. High intensity of freshly ground Fonte coffee dominates, complemented by rich dark chocolate and cocoa powder. Notable sweet vanilla aromatics entwine with a distinct but balanced spicy note of nutmeg. Malt character provides a supporting base of toasted bread and light char, with very low earthy hop aroma and clean fermentation.

Taste. The initial impression is a wash of dark roasted malt and espresso-like coffee flavors. Mid-palate reveals layers of unsweetened cocoa and smooth vanilla, which soften the roasted edges. The nutmeg emerges toward the finish, adding a warm, woody spice. Bitterness is mild, derived from both hops and roasted grains, finishing with a lingering coffee and spice aftertaste that leans toward balanced-sweet.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a creamy, almost velvety texture. Carbonation is moderate, providing enough lift to prevent the adjuncts from feeling heavy. A light, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present, with no harsh astringency from the spices or coffee.
