Coffee Stained Earth
Fieldwork Brewing Co.

Had this as part of a flight at Fieldwork. Drank after the coffee/milk ipa. What seemed like a conventional coffee beer turned out to be another unique one like the aforementioned. Anyways, its a porter, pours black but not hefty viscosity, thinner 1/3" tan head. The aroma was first and foremost coffee, but some of that other adjunct spice stuff comes acros as different in the sum of the parts. I dunno, takes away from the coffee, would prefer just a coffee and roasted malt blast instead of kombucha chai latte cardamom but you gotta take risks.

Taste still hits coffee the hardest, and that other stuff is of a lesser impact. Ginger and cardamom aren't my thing (cardamom especially) and they don't add anything to this beer in a positive sense. The mouthfeel is supposed to be milkshake like, but its just kinda dogfish head-esque, meaning there is a bunch of weird shit in here that feels like its just there for the sake of saying they took a mainstream beer and made it shittier with some off the wall bullshit.

As usual, I liked the coffee aspect of the beer, but not the tea. First review of the beer on BA.
