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.

what a nice way to start a new year's when you are seriously jet lagged and have some cotton mouth! thanks for the gift Alex it is very kind of you
poured out into my brandy glass (only appropriate glass i could find) and this beer had very little to no head on it at all. yet i loved the appearance it had an oily black look with just a bit of cappucino head trace in it
smelled like an espresso with a dash of maple syrup in it. wow is this going to be a crazy concoction?
way way roasted in the front then coming at you with coffee in the end and some hops to finish it off. just simply delicious and i loved every sip of it
great mouthfeel almost silky but just enough bubbles to keep it from being too sticky.
this got me wired too! glad i had it as i was feeling pretty droopy at the time. :-) happy new year indeed

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....
