Formerly Coup Beans
The flaked oats added to the eight malts and grains in this brew add a creamy, near sweetness that cuts the sharpness of the coffee without eliminating the rich, robust flavor. A blend of Dominican and Costa Rican coffees from our friends at One World Roasters give you that "morning cup" flavor in an easy going pint of beer.

Always a treat to have a new NebCo beer. Poured into a snifter. Color is jet black with a nice tan head. The nose is slight coffee with also a bit of cocoa (bitter). Love the taste of this one, charred coffee, the aforementioned bitter chocolate and I do believe I am getting a bit of vanilla. I think that sweetness balances this nicely. Mouthfeel is very smooth, carbonation is mild.
One of the better sessionable stouts that I have had. Well done!

Look...Black with a tan brown head and good carbonation. A typical English coffee stout with a more watery appearance
Smell...a light char with coffee undertones. Light brown sugar smell with light hop and hint of toffee
Taste,,,An English bitter of the start with molasses and and coffee, A rather delicate balance of the bitter and sweet with a very light malt presence. Almost a Guinness bittering finish
Feel...thin and incredibly easy to sip and never thick but a significant amount of lacing.
Overall...This is a non heavy more traditional stout like Sammy Smith more than Founders sweet variety or many of the stouts today. This is nothing exceptional but a real tasty beer with the ABV at rate that affords you to have a couple and is not too debilitating. Well made
