Vietnamese Coffee stout brewed with the same stuff from your favorite Pho joint. Loads of lactose sugar mimics that characteristic sweetness typically added by condensed milk. Rich and roasty with intense notes of bitter cacao, espresso, and cappuccino jelly beans.

Strong notes of coffee with smooth aftertaste. Reminds me a bit of Founders KBS.

The addition of Madagascar Bourbon adds to the complexity of the beer.

10 oz pour on nitro at the brewery taproom in Philadelphia.
Opaque and essentially black with a creamy, durable tan head.
Creamy smooth medium-light body.
Moderate coffee tastes stronger than it smells. Sweet up front but lightly bitter overall.

Nitro vietnamese coffee stout, need I say more? Love the abundance of lactose in the beer, and that it tastes exactly like vietnamese coffee with the condensed milk.
