Fourth Wave is the version of that beer brewed with single-origin Stumptown Coffee and aged for 10 months in Heaven Hill Bourbon Barrels. The name is a tribute to the latest era of the artisan coffee movement, which treats coffee as an artisan foodstuff and agricultural product. We think of our beer in the same way, and it’s no surprise that great coffee and great beer make such a fantastic pair.

Breakside Fourth Wave BBA Coffee Beer 9.6% 40 IBU Well right off the bat the color took me by surprise, it seems the base beer is a coffee Vienna lager. Rusty brown with light beige foam and it has a lovely soft sweet chocolate aroma with bourbon barrel notes. Medium to full bodied and smooth with raspy prickly carbonation. The taste has oaky vanilla notes layered over the sweet fruity coffee. Quite an interesting take on a coffee beer.

Draft. Amber beer with a dark cream head. Coffee aroma. Caramel and coffee flavor with vanila. Medium bodied. Caramel and coffee linger with molasses and vanilla.

650ml bottle. Pours a murky brown-amber with a medium, creamy, long lasting, beige head that leaves curtains of lace. Sweet aroma of caramel malt, coffee, bourbon, vanilla, dark chocolate, nuts and oak. Sweet flavour of bready caramel malt, raisin, toffee, dark chocolate, vanilla, roasted coffee, nuts and oak with a mild bitter, warming bourbon finish. Medium body with a creamy, smooth, oily texture and soft carbonation. Lots of complexity, an excellent Vienna!

Bottle share @ Hansen's. Amber pour with a bit of haze, some foam on top. Nose is full of coffee, toffee and some caramel nutty thing. Tastes nutty, malty base and some pretty fresh coffee there. Light tingle, more from coffee than from hops. Coffee linger in the finish. Pretty tasty, I do like this.

Tasting at Oakes' Manor
Hazy amber colour. Sweet strong amber Lager, a bit fruity, with moderate fruity coffee flavour; it really doesn't come together.

650ml bottle from HP at Josh&Sunshine place. Pours a hazy copper with a tan head. Aroma is coffee with some light green pepper notes. Taste is quite sweet with lots of coffee and some barrel notes. Ok.

Hazy amber. Thin head. This has a lot of coffee on the nose, and that's it. On the palate, the coffee is right there, the malts are sweet, caramelly, and it seems like this doesn't have as much Heaven Hill as it should have with that much aging, but there's a bit of roundedness.
