A fun twist on your standard coffee beer. This beer is a blend of our Northwest Red with HomeBrew cold brew from Bellingham Coffee Roasters. This lively take on what is typically a dark beer allows the cold brew to really shine. The lightly roasted beans are bright, critrusy, and acidic. When paired with the dark stone fruit flavor of our Northwest Red, you get a coffee beer like none other!

Served On-Tap
A — Pours with a nice deep reddish amber hue into the glass. Takes some effort to get a head to form on this one but it is khaki colored and doesn't leave much behind in terms of lace, not bad, but not great.
S — Smell is great, loads of cold pressed coffee dominate the nose initially, once you trek past the coffee onslaught you are greeted with the fine base beer, nice notes of malt, and light bitter hop.
T — Taste is much like the nose, very coffee forward, but not overdone by any means, a real nice balance has been struck here and between coffee, malt, hops, and yeast. I like it.
M — Medium bodied, perhaps a bit undercarbed, nice and smooth.
O — One of the best I've had from Aslan, I may be in the minority of loving coffee beers, but this one ticked all the right boxes.
