A light bodied American Style Stout brewed with locally roasted espresso beans from Roaster Jack Coffee Co. This beer was designed to be sessionable and consumed every day of the year, including summer. CEO stands for chocolate, espresso, & oatmeal. This is the perfect beer to start drinking in the morning. And yes, there is caffeine. This is Right Brain's #1 selling beer!

Can, brought back by my buddy Steve – thanks! Sunday morning I opened the can, sniffed it a bit and decided no glass needed… Great espresso nose is full of freshly ground roast. The coffee and cocoa flavors are spot on, good amount of roast too. I really like this; I think it would hold its ground with any of the top-tier coffee beers. Think morning tailgate when the temperatures drop and this is in your hands and it equals happiness.

Bottle shared by Ramy at Paul’s. Pours very dark brown with tan head. Nose and taste of ultra fresh coffee bean, chocolate, fresh coffee and grain. Taste is more grainy/stale coffee than the nose. Falls a little flat. Lighter medium body.

22 ounce bottle into pint glass; no bottle dating, but was bottled very recently. Pours fairly pitch black color with a nice 2 finger fairly dense dark tan head with good retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Spotty foamy lacing clings down the glass. Aromas a huge dark chocolate, espresso, roasted malt, cocoa, toast, light char, light smoke, and light caramel. Fantastic aromas with great strength and balance of coffee and dark roasted notes. Taste of coffee, dark chocolate, roasted malt, cocoa, toast, light char, toffee, and caramel. Light coffee bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of coffee, dark chocolate, roasted malt, cocoa, toast, toffee, light char, and caramel on the finish for a bit. Very nice balance and robustness of dark roasted flavors; with zero cloying flavors present after the finish. The big nose didn’t mirror in the taste, but it is still nice. Medium carbonation and body; with a creamy and lightly slick mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with hardly any warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is an excellent coffee stout. Very nice balance and robustness of roasted flavors; and very easy to drink. A very enjoyable offering.

5th Annual MBG Winter Beer Festival, Grand Rapids. Dark brown body with reddish highlights, medium creamy cream head. Nose with acidic coffee and modest tart roast. Acidic body with roasted malts, tangy and sharply carbonated. Not much complexity beyond the coffee and roast; no sweetness.
