This is the kind of beer that gives the word "stout" a reputation. Extra generous quantities of barley malt, followed by vigorous fermentation leaves this "imperial" heavy weight with 8% alcohol A.B.V. and a body as full as chocolate bread pudding. A complimentary and complex array of bitter notes comes form potent American hops, earthy British hops, black-roasted malts and, of course, coffee. Santa Fe Brewing Company uses only top-quality ingredients like organically grown East Timor coffee beans blended with New Guinea coffee beans, locally roasted by O’hori’s Coffee House. Its heavenly flavor and aroma can’t be beat or imitated.

Santa Fe Imperial Coffee Porter 8% Can from Argonaut in Denver, shared in Suma. A cola brown color with a beige head and a big coffee aroma. Medium bodied with a dry finish. The taste is like a sweet milk coffee, lactose? A solid beer that goes goes down smooth.

Can pour. Aroma is cracker with roasted coffee bordering on ash, dark fruits. Appearance almost opaque black with borders of glass dark brown; huge 3-finger width beige foamy head with good retention and fair lacing. Taste is much like aroma with balance of sweet and bitter coffee dominating. Palate light-to-medium with thin, creamy texture, soft carbonation with more bitter than sweet coffee. Overall, a nice beer but have had better coffee flavored stouts.

Thank you Elmanana+1! 355 ml. can sampled @ “Wish you were Adam Chandler” tasting. BBF 06/06/15 it seems, yikes. Dark brown, little head. Nose is big old thinned grainy coffee, thin chocolate syrup, cheap sweetness. taste is thin grainy sweet coffee, toffee, herbal, artificial coffee & chocolate, burned cacao. Too thin & old sees, probably neat fresh. It’s a shame this one & he got only recently in a trade.
