Slightly sweet and full-bodied with hints of complex roasted malts and chocolate, Calfé delivers a kick to the corral. This pillowy, silky and aromatic Coffee Milk Stout is infused with java roasted locally by the team at Cincinnati's Deeper Roots Coffee - a multidimensional brew that delivers on rich, smooth and delicious.

A nice bit slightly bitey milk stout. Sweet, but not overly so. Coffee flavor on the tongue and a touch of caramel on the end. Enjoyed on tap at Industry

Aroma us coffee. Caramel.
Good coffee flavor. Some soft malts and lactose mix well with dominant coffee.
Thinish, low carb. Creamy.

From the growler via Jungle Jim's Eastgate in a snifter. This beefy
little brew pours a dark muddy chocolate brown with cola highlights
and a thick head of light tan foam that settles to a thick ring, light
clumping layer, and displays some nice lacing. Nose of mild coffee,
subtle char, cream, and dark cocoa. Flavors follow the nose but exceed it
by presentation with a cream accentuated dark cocoa drizzled over
dark roasted coffee beans with touches of char and subtle dark fruit.
Nice mouth feel; medium full body, smooth, medium carbonation that
is lightly prickly and lively, and a rich roasted cocoa and coffee finish.
Well put together, nicely balanced, and a great little stout to have
with a good meal.
Overall excellence from a great little Cincy brewery!
Cheers
