This decadent Coffee Stout presents a sensory profile defined by the heavy addition of locally roasted organic East Timor and New Guinea coffee beans. An imperial-strength base provides a canvas of dark chocolate and roasted malt, creating a texture reminiscent of rich chocolate bread pudding. The experience is dominated by fresh espresso and earthy coffee notes, balanced by a sturdy barley malt backbone and a warming 8% alcohol presence. Intense layers of bittersweet cocoa and dark-roasted grains lead to a lingering, velvety finish that highlights the seamless harmony between the specialty beans and the robust grain bill.
Appearance.SRM 40+. Opaque, deep ebony to jet black. Dense, persistent mocha-colored head with excellent lacing and a creamy texture.
Aroma.High intensity. Bold, freshly ground coffee beans and espresso predominate. Significant dark malt character featuring baker’s chocolate, toasted bread, and charred grain. Low earthy hop notes and light dark fruit esters are secondary to the aromatic coffee punch.
Taste.Initial rich sweetness of dark chocolate and caramel. Pronounced coffee flavor follows, offering notes of roasted nuts and earth. Moderate hop bitterness is supported by a strong roasted grain astringency, providing balance to the residual sugars. The finish is long and complex with a smooth alcohol warmth and lingering mocha notes.
Mouthfeel.Full, viscous body with a creamy, mouth-coating texture akin to a dessert. Moderate carbonation. Noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth. No significant harshness despite the heavy roast profile.
