For this beer, we’ve taken our Starter Coffee Blend and added it to Dead Blow Tropical Stout during the brewing process. The result is the perfect balance of bitterness and sweetness paired with the delicate roast of a Stout. It’s a beer worth the buzz.

Description of Dead Blow: This is a Tropical version of the Foreign Extra Stout. Eighty pounds of macerated dates made its way into this brew, partnered with a Dry English Ale yeast to provide a vibrant fruity/tropical aroma with a slight amount of fruity esters. The Dry English ale yeast helps this beer attenuate lower, however leaving a residual sweetness on the finish as well as increase the fruity characteristic received from the Dates. Dead Blow is a dry, roasty, fruity, full bodied, smooth stout, that is lighter on bitterness.

Can from Discount. Pours a deep brown to black with a finger of tan head that lingers. Big cacao forward nose with espresso aromas. Nice body. Good roasted, malt character. Really big, rich full-bodied texture on the palate. Roasty, bitter cacao nib finish. Great stuff from Braxton and a big improvement over regular Dead Blow.
