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.

6 ounce draft. Great array of flavors. I guess the citrus peel is here. Nice long lasting coffee. Sugar in the finish bit not overly sweet. ABV hidden again.

Bottle @ goose island Philadelphia for their tasting . healthy 6 ounce pour. smells amazing. Fudge and cold brew coffee with cream and sugar. Has a flavor of that Cascia bark & cinnamon prop from a few years ago with creamy sugar, milky texture, delicious coffee and a decadent dessert like finish of coffee cake, whipped cream. Freaking incredible.

Fun little variant of BCBS. Lot of coffee thrown in, but not too much. Cassia and sugar make it pretty sweet and desserty, and a hint of orange adds another fun layer. Nice, but the base lost some bourbon.

Why wait for Black Friday. Nice score! Cinnamon on the nose, coffee, dark chocolate, brown sugar. Taste is creamy, smooth, like tiramisu.
