Conditioned on Misty Valley coffee from @newharvestcoffee, orange peel, and dried cascara (the cherry coffee beans grow inside), this 10.5% sipper is beautifully complex. You’ll get strong notes of coffee and chocolate alongside subtler notes of citrus, cherry, tobacco, and leather.

Pours the color and clarity of cola with a frothy, tan-colored head that quickly dissipates towards the shoulders into a bubble band. Nose reveals a big hit of coffee - think roasty and earthy with a hint of dark chocolate in the background. Taste follows nose - very earthy. Mouthfeel is medium-light (a little thin for the style) with an easy, even carbonation and a light acidity at the back. Overall, amazing nose but flavor profile is a bit subdued.
