This robust dark brew has been created in conjunction with Crescent Moon to coffee to come up with a special five bean blend to bring out the depth of the beer. Originally produced to celebrate our 10th anniversary, this has now become our late-winter seasonal. Note the aromas of toffee, licorice and coffee roastiness. Then take a sip–there’s a malty richness on the palate followed by chocolate, coffee, spices and perhaps even some licorice character from the Mount Rainier hops. The beer finishes with a subtle black cherry/berry character from rare Ethiopian Sidamo beans. Oh yeah, it also packs a royal kick at 8% alcohol.

Bottle from MrBendo. Dark orange-brown body, translucent, thin quickly dissipating tan head. Aroma of milk chocolate, vanilla, heavy burnt caramels, and coffee. Very sweet, suggesting unfermented malts. Watery, thin body is a slurry of chocolate and unfermented sugars, candies, and coffee. The finish fades away quickly. Reminds me of a homebrew.

12 oz bottle into snifter glass..pours a dark brown color...looks like coffee actually...sweet malted aroma smooth mouth feel..distinct mocha and cocoa as it sits, a banana characteristic is also apparent.... not overpowering with espresso flavor very minimal actually...a slight dryness to the finish with a bit of stickiness as well
