This is an exceptional rendition of Double Shot, made with our direct trade single-origin House coffee, Estrellita, which is sourced directly from our friends Pablo & Eva’s farm in Guatemala. Tree House has supported the farm by purchasing an eco-friendly wet mill and committing to a yearly purchase of their beans, creating a direct and mutually beneficial relationship. The result is a coffee stout of extraordinary character and purpose, with a symphony of flavors, including chocolate marzipan, caramel candy, and cocoa dust.

Poured from 16oz can into pint glass in July 2023, that I purchased at their brewery in Charlton, MA. There is a stamp of "Winter 2023" on the bottom of the can. I drank this about 3 months after I purchased it.
Appearance: Very dark black with 1-finger head. The head was dark brown, and disappeared after a minute. It left only a little lacing on the glass, and no head remained after a minute.
Smell: Strong mix of aromas filled the room as soon as the can was opened. Roasted coffee, coffee, and chocolate aromas. Not much hop style citrus or pine aromas.
Taste: There is pronounced taste of coffee, chocolate, and smoked malts. Also, some vanilla, peanut butter, and roasted malt flavors. They are more balanced than I expected from the aroma. Flavors are very bold. There is a strong alcohol presence that matches 8.6% advertised. A balanced coffee, smoked malt, chocolate, and vanilla aftertaste that is really enjoyable.
Mouth-feel: Very thick, but with an extremely smooth and creamy body.
This is a very good Porter. It has a variety of flavors that adds a nice complexity to the beer. The balance of flavors is very good. The flavors of coffee and roasted malt nicely balance the bitter coffee with the sweet chocolate and caramel flavors. Another very good offering from Tree House, and similar to the " 'Tis The Season". This is very smooth and enjoyable to drink. I have enjoyed all the beers I've bought at Tree House, and I would buy this again.
