A coffee lover's delight! A wonderful stout infused with coffee that is specially roasted for us by Emy J's in Stevens Point, WI.

Working through a bunch of low-gravity brews to make some fridge space. Served in my Surly pint glass.
A - Pours a slightly transparent dark reddish-brown color. A finger of dark tan foam that dissipates to a thin ring and leaves glass-coating lacing. One of the lightest colored stouts I've ever tried!
S - Roast coffee, caramel malt, milk chocolate, perhaps some lactose sugar. Takes a little time to warm up, but once it does it is quite excellent.
T - The taste is significantly more bitter and roasty than I expected from the nose. The cocoa is also of the darker, more bitter, variety. Mild residual bitterness in the aftertaste, but not as palate-wrecking as some coffee beers. I wish it was a little sweeter.
M - Light tingly carbonation, medium-light smooth body, maybe a touch watery. Finish has light stickiness to it - also wish it was a little dryer.
D - One of the more sessionable coffee beers out there, thanks to the low alcohol and lower residual bitterness. It's a little to acidic to be perfect in this area though.

This is a black, oily-looking brew with a diminutive tan head. Wonderful toasted grain aromas in the nose. Dark-roasted coffee and bittersweet chocolate flavors dominate the palate. Creamy in texture. I look forward to having it again.

Pours a clear dark brown with a massive tan head that leaves nice lacing as it falls away. Aroma is fresh roasted coffee. Flavor is coffee forward, with dark roasted malt. Feel is medium bodied with ample carbonation. Overall, this is delicious. Enuf said.

12oz can into a pint glass. Canned 11/2/20, so 2 years old.
Looks decent enough. Darkest brown body, small white head shrinks to a ring. No lacing. Some tiny dark floaties.
Nice smooth coffee aroma.
On tasting, the coffee flavor is still excellent after 2 years. Smooth, rich, warming. No roast at all.
Mouth between medium and full, finish coffee and some warming.
Overall, glad to have risked this one, coffee has either not faded much, or was phenomenal fresh. Kinda one dimensional, but a dimension I'm happy to be in right now.

Closing out the last days of winter with this tasty coffee stout. Hits on all points, nice cold brew coffee influence, delicious taste and smell, and abv well hidden. Killer deal at $10 for 6.

Clear cola color, the scent is boozy and distant, lots of coffee bean. Taste is so good, I'm not even a huge fan of these coffee stouts, but this is just done damn well. The hops and the dark grains and the coffee all meld into one flavor, I wasted one of these on a roast and regret it. World-class

Coffee coffee coffee. This is a load of coffee in a beer. Not to thick. Can’t taste alcohol.
Pretty delicious for $10 a six pack

Brewhouse Coffee Stout pours an almost black color, with not much head. Aroma is fresh cold press coffee. Flavor is a nice rich sweet malty stout, with fresh cold press coffee flavors mixed in. Good body and feel. Overall, very good coffee stout, flavors blend great.
