Bean's Coffee Stout
Atrium Brewing

2025 vintage, into a Barrique stemless tulip.

Pours a jet black with brown foam, super dark and hard to see through. Aroma is red fruit, dark roast coffee, and some mocha roast. Flavor is fruity smooth coffee with some burnt malts and a little cream. Very sweet, almost raspberry coffee and some great richness. The malts are dense and heavy but very good, and it balances sweet and bitter perfectly. There's some great cocoa as well. Feel is actually superb, quite thick but with good carbonation. The brightness helps with the thick, dark flavors and amps up the fruit character from the coffee, and is very welcome. It's chewy but easy to drink and the 11% is hidden perfectly. I shared the can with several others at the brewery and everyone agreed the beer is exceptionally smooth and drinkable.

Overall an insane coffee stout. The coffee character is incredibly distinctive and feels quite unique, and there's a ton of complexity from the malts. I love a good coffee stout, and this one stands as a very strong offering.

 

From the 16 oz can in a snifter via Bluejacket74! Cheers Dude! This solid little
imperial pours a dark brown tinged black with a moderate head of khaki foam that
subsides to a thick ring, with light lacing and subtle legs. Nose of coffee, char,
dark cocoa, and vanilla. Flavors open up and express themselves nicely with
dark cocoa...semi-sweet, char, earthy malt, dark coffee, moderate char, vanilla,
and touches of brulee. Mouth feel is medium full leaning towards full. Smooth,
moderately rich, moderately coating, and finishing with a pleasant bitter malt
and coffee / mocha note.

Overall, a solid brew!

Cheers

Can pour, 2023 edition. Pours jet black with a creamy tan head that dissipates to a ring around the edges. Big roasty notes on the nose with wisps of sweetness. Flavor delivers on clean, dark coffee notes. Excellent vintage.

16 ounce can, canning date of October 27, 2022. Can label says 11% ABV, purchased at the brewery last weekend. Served in a snifter, the beer pours dark brown/black with about an inch and a half tan head that stuck around a while. There's also a good amount of lacing. I like the aroma, the brew smells like coffee, roasted malt, dark chocolate and some vanilla. Taste is similar to the aroma, but there's also some dark bread and caramel flavors noticeable too. Mouthfeel/body is medium/full, it's coating and has a moderate amount of carbonation. I liked this imperial coffee stout, certainly worth trying if you get the chance!

Are you kidding me? Nose is like fresh ground coffee. Taste is like very nice cup of coffee with a kick of course. Very well done stout that will be sure to delight coffee lovers.
