Our Stir Stick Stout is robust with ruby highlights and a generous addition of locally roasted fair trade, organic Ethiopian Yirgacheffe coffee.The beans lend a distinct chocolate aroma and flavour that blends well with the roasted barley and malty sweetness.A woody bitterness rounds out this ale and makes it the perfect match for barbequed buffalo burgers, sweet desserts like chocolate lava cake or with vanilla ice cream as a decadent beer float.

Very dark brown colour. Thin head. Aroma has big coffee with light nuts and dark chocolate. Somewhat thin at the front with dominant coffee. But just when I feel the coffee fading to vegetal harshness, a dose of milk chocolate malts come in to round everything out and (along with a light oiliness) fill out the body. Unfortunately, over the course of a bomber these high points are fleeting and the thin, immature coffee-dominated character keeps coming through.

Bottle courtesy of Piscator34: Poured a pitch-black color stout with a medium foamy dark head with average retention. Aroma of roasted coffee is dominating with some noticeable roasted malt. Taste is also dominated by the coffee flavour and quite enjoyable even though I’m probably not the most avid fan of coffee stout. Body is a bit light for the style and carbonation is about right. Great coffee stout and IMHO would have been better if some chocolate malt had been added.

Deep dark brown stout with a thin moka head. Black cold coffee in aroma, a bit sweet, with notes of sulfur, a bit strange. In mouth, a rather thin stout, like burned coffee left too long. Not bad but again, not what I expected. Merci Kris.
