Collaboration with J. Wakefield Brewing
In collaboration with J. Wakefield Brewing, Affogato Imperial Stout is inspired by a few of our brewers' favorite summertime pick-me-up (& cool-me-down) Barrington Coffee Roasting Co's affogato. Our Affogato Imperial Stout is delectable, decadent, and smooth. Brewed with a blend of Barrington Coffee Roasting Co. & Mostra Coffee beans, Affogato leads with aromas reminiscent of Vietnamese iced coffee (cà phê đá) - powerful course ground dark roast coffee poured over sweetened condensed milk & ice. Flavors of dark espresso, tiramisu, sweet chocolate cake, and smooth vanilla swirl across the palate. Rich flavor & a dark, inviting appearance, Affogato Imperial Stout is our answer to a sweet summertime treat.
MALT: American 2-Row Barley, Crystal 120, Flaked Oats, Black Malt, Chocolate Malt, Munich Malt, White Wheat Malt, Brown Sugar, Dark Candied Syrup, Lactose
HOPS, ETC: Columbus, Barrington and Mostra Coffees, Vanilla Beans

Brew: Trillium Brewing Company – Affogato
Intro: 750 mil. poured into a tulip glass. Shared with a friend
Appearance: Dark virtually black color. Ample head, maybe 2 inches. Moderate lacing as we drank
Smell: Coffee in the foreground followed by chocolate and vanilla.
Taste: Followed along with the smell. Coffee is not overpowering. The chocolate lead up the flavor profile.
Mouthfeel: Medium mouthfeel, medium carbonation.
Drink: Very well rounded. Very enjoyable.
Conclusion: Easy to see why this is one of the top American Imperial stouts. Was a very enjoyable experience. Would not hesitate to pick up more if it presented itself.
