Style: American Double / Imperial Stout
Alcohol by volume (ABV): 11.00%
Availability: Rotating
Notes / Commercial Description:
Traditional Caffè Americano is made by adding water to espresso. We break all the rules with this Double Stout. We refuse to add water to our beer after fermentation, but have no issues adding beer to our espresso. This deep, dark stout exhibits rich espresso and coffee notes, which are contributed by the generous use of roasted barley and espresso locally roasted by Buddy Brew Coffee. That simply is not enough for us. We also add roasted, raw chocolate and a hint of vanilla to this big bodied stout. Dodge the red eye and take a shot of the dark.

Pours out a pitch black color.
Aroma is heavy on the coffee while still having chocolate notes, some roast & even caramel too.
Taste is very coffee/espresso forward with dark chocolate/milk chocolate notes, hints of vanilla, caramel & then into a roasty malt bill.
Thick, chewy & very easy to drink! ABV is well hidden.

A: Pitch black opaque, with 1 inch khaki head, great lacing
S: Coffee, chocolate, burnt malts
T: Sweetness, coffee, chocolate, bitterness
M: Full, velvety carbonation, a little heat from the booze
O: One of th best imperial stouts Ive ever had. It was not as bitter coffee flavored as others that Ive had.
