Custom-roasted Sumatra Mandheeling beans were ground, brewed strong and then infused with one-half of our batch of Straight-Edge Stout, which was then further cold-conditioned. A strong espresso aroma dominates this opaque black brew, capped by a frothy latte-colored head. Potent-but-smooth, lightly sweetened French roast flavors give way to dark caramel, chocolate, and roasted barley. Velvety mouthfeel with an amazing, rich finish.

Draught @ the source. Opaque dark brown with very small frothy beige head, very faint coffee aroma, high carbonation, medium bitter coffee taste, smooth body, long mocha finish. Very smooth and well balanced stout.

On cask at ABF, 6/18/2005. Dark brown body has dropped bright, as it is transparent when the pour settles out, with some deep violet tinged-ruby highlights throughout. Creamy, thick head is quite small, barely a finger high, but retained fairly well, yet with little lacing. Smells like rich, lightly bitter espresso beans, not much in the way of earthy compost, with some hersheys chocolate notes. Flavor has a mix of caramel malt and bitter espresso, giving it a little bit chewier a feel than the average coffee stout. Sugary sweet at times, a good deal less complex and not quite the mouthfeel of Founders’ or Dieu du Ciel’s or Bell’s versions Definitely watery on the end, however, with a touch of alcohol and gets a bit too bitter at times. Still, a good flavor if somewhat dominated by the coffee, but then, arent all coffee stouts?
