This is the bigger, badder version of Coffee and Cigarettes, our popular lightly smoked coffee porter. We use over 5 lbs per barrel of Sightglass coffee for an intense coffee kick alongside a light addition of German Beechwood Smoked Malt for a touch of smoke character. We infused this with the Sightglass’s Honduran Nueva Esperanza.

Draft. A black beer with a dark brown head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt, chocolate, and soy sauce. The flavor is sweet with notes of alcohol, roasted malt, soy sauce, and chocolate, leading to a bitter finish.

Tap. Pours opaque black, medium creamy tan head, great lacing. Aroma of, well, coffee and cigarettes. Hit that one on the head. Roasty with a mocha undertone. Flavor is light plus sweet, medium bitter, loads of rich mocha coffee with an underlying tobacco note. Full body, rich creamy mouthfeel. Kinda hot, which is the main knock on an otherwise stellar big beer.

Growler thanks to Brandon. Pours a very dark brown with medium beige head that lasts. The aroma is strong roast, smoke, ash, cocoa. Thick body, chewy, similar flavors to nose, boozy finish, really enjoyed this.
