Earl (1911-1985) was our grandfather’s brother; Hill Farmstead Brewery rests upon the land that was once home to him and his 13 siblings. In his honor, this Stout is crafted from American malted barley, Flaked Oats, English roasted malts, American hops, Organic Guatemalan Coffee, our ale yeast, and water from our well. It is unfiltered and naturally carbonated. A silhouette of coffee and malt – an embodiment of complexity and drinkability, this is the ale that I dream to have shared with Earl.

Can (4/22/25) from trade with ClarkVV--thanks, Clark! Opaque, dark brown, nice sparkle, thin head with good retention and rings of lacing. Aroma is strong earthy malts/peat, faint coffee, strong molasses. Taste is strong molasses, anise, chocolate, mild coffee with char, oats. Smooth, silky texture, soft carbonation and bittersweet finish as taste. Lovely, complex base stout outside of the addition of coffee. Silky smooth. Very nice.

Black pour with a full beautiful dark brown head. The aroma is intoxicating. Amazing notes of dark, roasted malt, cocoa, and loads of espresso. Some light soy, some smoke, and burnt brown sugar. The body is silky and luscious, the carb is soft and luxurious. The finish is medium bitter, loads of bitter espresso. Sweet and bitter cocoa, and touches of warming alcohol. Incredible stout. World class.

Burk från HF. Mörk brunsvart med krämig beigebrun krona. Rejäl kaffeton i doften. Doftar och smakar av kaffe, toffee och choklad med nötiga toner.

Pours a near black from a can. Why is no one else (hyperbole) noting the smokiness of the malts? This is a smoked malt stout, a nice hickory smoke aroma, smoky taste followed by some coffee, big roasty malts throughout. Pretty good beer.

Pours a dark, brown-black, with mid-sized tan head. Aroma is coffee and roasted malt. Flavor is coffee, roasted grain and malt. Bitter touch to the finish. Smooth mouthfeel.
