A bittersweet, creamy, coffee-laced stout
First Release: August 2014
From imperial stouts to IPAs, we’ve discovered the tantalizingly roasty lift that comes from adding coffee beans to just about any kind of beer. This English-style milk stout, originally a limited-edition offering at Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens - Liberty Station, proved the perfect foil for beans from San Diego-based Ryan Bros Coffee. The bitterness of the coffee is balanced out brilliantly by the milk sugar we used to add a touch of sweetness and creaminess to the stout’s smooth, easy-drinking texture. Cheers to the coalescence of two highly artisanal (and delectable) mediums.

Pours a mainly solid black with a quickly dissipating foamy head that does not leave any evidence of itself behind on the glass.
Smells is coffee and a little sweetness.
The taste is a full on coffee assault. Pretty intense burnt coffee grounds, cocoa powder, some burnt sugars. Significantly bitter, with a smokey aftertaste. It is light bodied/thin, which matches the ABV.
I was a little disappointed that it didn't have more of a creamy or smooth milk stout quality. I feel it drinks more like an Dry Irish Stout with coffee. Not bad at all. Just not what I was hoping for. If you want a low ABV coffee stout. This will fit the bill. It is a bit of a palate wrecker though. Feel like I had a cigar with it.

355 ml bottle, Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 5%. Pitch black colour, small beige head. Moderate aroma of chocolate and mild coffee. Slightly sweet roasty flavour, distinct notes of coffee, also notes of lactose, chocolate, liquorice and wood. Moderate bittering hops in the finish.

De XXXII. Embotellada 26/12/2015. En copa Teku. Jugando a Avernum 6. La lactosa no la encuentro, el cafe agradable pero demasiado suave, y la carbonatacion algo alta. Le falta intensidad en sabores. Quizas fresca mejore bastante

Bottled on date is there. Wow! this does taste like a cup of coffee with a splash of milk added to it. This would be a great pairing with some breakfast food like bacon, eggs, & toast. Stone Brewing you have done it again.Cheers! A-
