This exclusive member-only variant of BA Griffith pays homage to the very first Griffith variant we released back in March 2018. For this iteration, we leaned heavily into the coconut and chilis, allowing the coffee to play a more subtle supporting role.
On the nose, you'll encounter an inviting wave of toasted coconut, signature cinnamon toast crunch vibes, and just a hint of coffee intertwined with an elusive note (thank the Ghost Peppers and Carolina Reaper chilis for that, the Carolina Reapers are from Bob’s garden!). The flavor journey begins with the bold presence of coconut and chili heat, balanced by the rich, grounding notes of Ethiopian coffee.

Poured on tap at the brewery. Pours motor oil black with almost zero head. The nose is amazing. Chocolate, slight heat, coffee, and dark fruit. The taste is insane. Coffee, molasses, wonderful heat, dark fruit, and coconut. Just amazing. The heat nicely hits after the beer is swallowed. Not too little and not too much. My favorite from the special releases of 2024. The mouthfeel is thick, but not overly viscous. Overall, wonderful.
