This batch of Double Shot was crated in commemoration of the 500th brew on our 30 BBL Brewhouse in Monson. It was brewed not only to mark this celebratory occasion, but with character of the current season in mind. Incorporating a blend of our favorite Indonesian and Colombian coffees, Batch 500 pours pitch black and decadently in the glass, emanating flavors and aromas of milk chocolate, dark fruit, and coffee mousse. It is wonderful and rich; perfect to enjoy as a digestive after a big holiday dinner. It is, in our opinion, an example of what is possible with careful selection of ingredients paired with focused brewing execution. Please enjoy this bottle fresh and use it as an opportunity to reflect on your own cherished moments.

Poured inky black with a rich clingy chocolate brown head into a chalice. Tons of coffee, chocolate, and roasted malt in the aroma. Taste is sweet with plenty of licorice and fleeting coffee bitterness that gets pushed aside by the malt sweetness. Medium mouthfeel was pleasantly refreshing and, along with no trace of the 8.6 abv, made this a surprisingly drinkable beer. Overall, it is fantastic. It is one of the better stouts I have ever had. The only thing I would even come close to considering a weakness of this beer is that a tiny bit more bitterness could have helped balance out the sweetness. But again, this is still easily in my top 5 all time favorite stouts. No surprise from Tree House. They keep producing liquid gold.
