Double Shot, our beloved Coffee Stout, features coffee sourced and roasted specifically for this beer in house. By controlling every variable, it has achieved a new level of balance, integration, and enjoyability.
We experience flavors and aromas of dark chocolate, caramel, milk chocolate covered espresso beans, and a hint of citrus-like acidity. The mouthfeel is luxurious with a soft and velvety carbonation. It is, in our opinion, and example of what is possible by applying years of learned intuition paired with full process control. It realizes a dream over six years in the making, and we are immensely excited to share it with you!

Looks like motor oil, completely opaque. Foam like dalgona coffee. Notes of molasses, vanilla, and coconut on the nose. Taste is nicely balanced, with tons of bittersweet chocolate. Nice mouthfeel, not too heavy. Overall a great stout, perfect for a late fall day.

Appearance - The beer poured a silky black color with brown bubbles clinging to the sides of the glass.
Smell - the nose had a strong coffee presence with noted sweetness.
Taste -There was a lot of coffee here. Notes of chocolate syrup, and light vanilla we’re also present. It was not overly sweet to the point of being calling and allowing the coffee to shine. The coffee and chocolate continued in the finish.
Mouthfeel - The body was slick and not overly thick with small bubbles.
Overall - This is a great stout that coffee stout lovers will love.

I usually like to sample a base beer before dipping into variants. However, when it comes to TH, I take what I can get when I can get it. So, I tried the Espresso version of this beer before sampling the OG version that is before me now.
Pours a deep dark brown-to-black color with over a finger of head that is milk chocolate in color. Like the Espresso variant, I am not overly impressed by the nose - some coffee, not much else.
The flavor profile is dominated by fresh black coffee. The bitterness off the roasted beans is the highlight here. The body is hearty and the finish has just enough residual sweetness to counteract the bitter coffee.

Jet black body, opaque; thick, frothy, light brown head, long lasting; patchy splotches of foam stick to the glass. Rich dark roasted malt smell; cacao nibs and bitter chocolate. Rich and flavorful taste; fine blend of sweet and bitter chocolate; chocolate fudge and brownies; bourbon undercurrent; bitter. Heavy body; heavy sweetness throughout with a mild dryness at the finish.
Ah, a coffee stout, eh? After the fact I can sense coffee, but it's well-hidden on my palate. Still, this is a rich, decadent stout and quite the treasure.
