Created in partnership with our next door neighbors, Intelligentsia Coffee, Café de Olla is inspired by the traditional Mexican beverage of the same name. We added coffee beans and cold coffee to Original Bourbon County Stout and then enhanced this beer further through additions of cassia bark, orange peel, and panela sugar. The resulting beer is layered in complexity. Coffee and orange permeate the nose and are followed by notes of cinnamon, chocolate, and a pleasant sweetness.

Compared it to More Henna Cafe de Olla. Thus the "low" rating

Bottle at the December Ratebeer DC Tasting. Poured a nearly pitch black cola color with a small tan head. Aroma was dark roasted malts, bourbon, smooth coffee. Rich, medium roast. Light cinnamon, oats? Creamy, big and bold. This was pretty nice.

Little boozy at the start, but really smooth through the finish. Fantastic.

Bottle at share. Dark, black, flat pour. Coffee leads the aroma. Taste adds roast and sweetness, pretty damn smooth. Coffee accents the brew instead of overwhelming it.

Bottle from Harvest Market Inky black in color with a thin tan head that dissipates almost instantly. Chocolate and licorice with a hint of coffee and orange. Sweet and sticky.
