This robust Coffee Stout is a mouthful of flavor! A dark, roasty grain bill stands as the backdrop for a galaxy of coffee aroma and flavor, made possible by local organic bean roasters Dynamite Roastery. A Pisgah fan favorite, Valdez is brewed bi-annually and never lasts as long as the flavor.

Bottle from hobbie100. Thanks Richard!
I shared this with some good friends while watching football. Good times.
A: Valdez appears deep, dark brown in color with a half inch of beige head. The head displays good retention and leaves some nice lacing on the glass.
S: Fabulous aroma, primarily of coffee, followed by roasted malt and chocolates.
T: The taste was also terrific. Valdez is all about the coffee. The flavor is robust and grand, with a variety of chocolates and roasted malt emerging behind the dominant coffee taste.
M: Smooth and creamy with a healthy level of carbonation. Well done.
D: A superb example of a coffee stout. I highly recommend Pisgah Valdez.

I love coffee beers and this is the coffeest coffee beer I’ve ever had. Aroma is of quality fresh coffee on the morning. Flavor is coffee. Big bold French Roast coffee flavor. The deliciousness of the coffee flavor lingers with the after taste. Thank God, bc I don’t want this flavor to ever leave my mouth.

Pours a dark black with medium khaki head. Aroma is of coffee and more coffee. Taste is of coffee and just a hint of malts. Full mouthfeel and an aftertaste of....Coffee

Received as an extra in a trade. Pours dark brown with a finger of mocha head. Nose is full of espresso, chocolate, slight roast, and toffee. Well rounded taste....sweet mocha, bitter chocolate, and a touch of vanilla. Body is medium with low carbs. Pleasantly surprised by this coffee stout....
