Damon: Coffee Collective Buena Vista Organic
Hill Farmstead Brewery

 

 

 

375 mL bottle. Black with reddish tinges. Smells of earthy coffee, rich chocolate, bourbon. Tastes a little sharper. Coffee, chocolate, bourbon. Bourbon is secondary. Very rich coffee and chocolate flavor. Low carbonation. This is an extremely rich beer. I'm torn on it. It's very flavorful, but pushes against my expectations of a coffee stout. Maybe that's what he's going for.

 

 

Poured from the 375 ml bottle into the test glass
A - Cobalt color, gentle carbonation, thin ring clings to the perimeter.
S - Coffee, fresh pick tobacco, black pepper, bakers chocolate, licorice and hints of cinamonn.
T - Follows the nose well, add some wonderful char, dark chocolate.
M - Slick on the palate, sweet on every level. start is sweet, finish and linger are much more dry
O - A delightful coffee treatment, the offering is full force and not to be underestimated.

 

very beautiful looking beer. aromas are bourbon, chocolate, bitter coffee. honestly not getting too much on the nose!

on palate this one tastes more coffee forward when first opened (slightly cool) as it reaches room temp this one is bursting with smooth milk chocolate flavor, decadent barrel sweetness dancing around and creating a beautiful melange of desert flavors - getting brown sugar, soft creamy vanilla, fudge, carmel, molassess, coffee candies, mellow spice, oak, super smooth booze quality that is mind blowing, invokes a , very mellow bitterness to this one but just a touch from some roasty coffee character... pretty minimal on the coffee except adding that roast along with some nutty and brown sugar flavors.
