A serious beast of a stout, dark like the jungle at night. Our friends from Mostra Coffee sourced some truly remarkable coffee beans for this collaboration – El Jaguar Siltepec coffee from Chiapas, Mexico. This coffee comes from a group of small producers in the Sierra Madre Mountains, and is processed by hand, harvested, de-pulped, fermented and washed before being dried in the sun. We added toasted organic coconut flakes from Sri Lanka to complete the flavor profile, which along with the coffee help to accentuate the dark chocolate notes lurking deep in the body of this sumptuous stout.

Had Sonny pick me up a bottle of this. Was lucky that it was still there a day after it was released. Was described as, “A serious beast of a stout, dark like the jungle at night.

Poured a black color with two fingers of khaki-tan frothy head. Calm setting underneath the head. Outstanding spotty lacing. Good retention. (Sight - 4.00)
Smelled rich roasted coffee, cinnamon, nutmeg, coconut flakes, toasted bark, semi-char wood, dark fruit and Mexican chocolate. Initial comparison would be Stone’s Xocoveza. Was getting all that 12 pct. ABV. From the bottle got an added element of maple syrup and maybe brown sugar. (Smell - 4.00)
Tasted a little better than the nose. In order got roasted coffee, cinnamon, nutmeg, mulling spices, coconut flakes, vanilla, sticky molasses, toasted bark, semi-char wood, dark fruit, Mexican chocolate, licorice and anise. (Taste - 4.25)
Full body. Sticky texture. Average carbonation. Long, warming finish. (Feel - 4.50)
This was excellent overall, but really wanted this to be even better. Not as much coconut as I would have thought. Still glad I got a bottle, maybe not at the $20.80 price. (Overall - 4.25)
