This special batch of Double Shot was brewed to celebrate four years of Tree House, and to present a beer that is a culmination of learned efforts during that time. For this batch, we chose to incorporate a bean hand selected by our friends at Carrier Roasting, Burundi Gaharo. The coffees of Burundi present with a dense, earthy, and mysterious character that suits Double Shot perfectly. 4th Anniversary Double Shot is brewed to be more dense than usual, adding to the richness of the beer and accentuating the Gaharo’s best characteristics! We taste and smell earthy chocolate, toffee, brown sugar, and straight up chocolate syrup. A rich and decadent batch, and one begging to be shared and enjoyed slowly! Thank you for four years!

Drank on tap at Tree House Brewing Company, Sandwich, MA
Served in plastic cup
Impressive appearance. The beer poured an oily, near pitch black and was topped by a finger-tall, super tight and creamy, saddle brown head that fell to a lasting collar. A sticky latticework of lacing stuck along the top portion of the cup.
The aroma was fantastic. Coffee notes dominated. Espresso specifically came to mind. Moderately roasty. Bit of dark chocolate character too. Fairly sweet with a touch of lactose-like creaminess as well.
Mocha notes came through big time in the flavor profile. Loads of espresso. Big bakers chocolate and chocolate syrup presence too. Roasted malts appeared on the back end and carried into the finish. More roasty coffee character and a touch of booze after the swallow.
The mouthfeel was super rich and creamy. Fuller bodied for the style. The liquid contained a fine, supple, tongue blanketing effervescence that turned ultra slick and smooth on the palate.
Double Shot - 4th Anniversary Blend is a terrific beer, though I hardly noticed any difference between this and the standard Double Shot. That said, I was grateful to have the opportunity to try this on tap at the Sandwich Tree House location.
