Experiencing this beer is like walking into your favorite indy coffee shop. It’s chocolately with the perfect balance of Peace Coffee’s Birchwood Blend and makes for a perfect coffee stout. The aroma is complex for a relatively simple beer. Initially, you’ll smell chocolate-covered espresso beans but the more it warms up you even start getting woody and tobacco aromas. If you’re a stout or coffee drinker, you’re going to love this beer. And on a cooler, rainy spring day like today…it’s going to be perfect.

750ml crowler can. Label has fill date as '03.17.21'.
Black colored body, with a tiny ruby black lit edge. Pouring from the crowler can brings forth a multi finger tan head, which settles back to a creamy, small bubble cap. Just a few scattered spots of lacing.
Aroma is coffee first, but also the chocolate and vanilla are pushing forward to be "heard".
Taste is still coffee first but the dark chocolate is a major flavor. Has some sweet vanilla notes toward the end. Mellow stout in the aftertaste, still with lots of coffee, but not bitter.
Medium plus mouth feel, with some creamy coating in the mouth. Good carbonation.
Hits a good balance that is coffee dominated but is not too sweet and has no bitter notes. Would be a very good session choice on tap.
