She's back! What’s better than one shot of espresso? Two shots of espresso! This edition of our favorite coffee infused stout utilizes buckets of Red Barn Coffee Roaster’s Sumatra Mandheling. The Mandheling’s deep cocoa flavors open up to reveal a richly complex treat. We taste flavors of , chocolate covered espresso beans, molasses, milk chocolate, and touches of sweet brown sugar. A pungent & decadent bean for sure! A rich, sweet, and less roasty base beer contributes the ideal backdrop to this bold and vibrant treat for the coffee and beer lover alike! We find this to easily be the most intense and potent Double Shot yet. A true coffee lover’s delight!

Craft Clerkenwell. LKS 15K bash. Thanks to Scopey. Opaque black - brown beer, good tan head. Palate is airy, smooth, modest fine carbonation. Tangy dark malts. Good earthy coffee and mild dark chocolate. Thin lactose cream in the dark malts. Light dry finish. Rich and coffee dominant if a tad dry.

Growler shared in London during the 15k tasting - big thanks to Scoopey. Pours deep black-brown with a frothy beige head. The nose has an obscene amount of coffee, espresso, baking cocoa, raisins. Medium to big sweet flavour with rich cocoa, roast, heavy espresso, buckets of chocolate, scorched earth. Full bodiednwith fine to average carbonation. Rich chocolatey finish, tons of coffee, lingering roast, mellow earthy bitterness. Incredibly robust yet still completely drinkable. Superb.

Growler shared at Leighton’s 10K. It pours jet black with a thick tan head. The rich, bitter - sweet, big espresso coffee, hard roast, cacao nibs, toasty action, jammy berry, toffee and dirt. The taste is rich, bitter, crazy coffee action, earth, coffee cake, dark fruits, dark chocolate, toasty, light burnt toffee with a slick, coffee-driven finish. Medium body and massaging carbonation. Intense and delicious. Very impressive.
