Around the brewery, we listen to a lot of reggae, drink a fair share of coffee, and are devoted to our barrel aging program. In 2015, we had a one off imperial stout aging in barrels for close to a year. These barrels had a rich chocolate vanilla character, but needed a boost. Stauf’s Coffee Roasters, of Columbus Ohio, nailed the perfect roast on some authentic Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee, to compliment the barrel aged stout. Champion Ground was born! The Illustration on the label is of Charlie Ace’s Swing-a-ling mobile record shack which was notorious for broadcasting the “Champion Sound!” Our version does this with fresh grounds and good vibes all around!

Bottle thanks to Stuu666. Pours black with a thin beige head. Aromas of roast coffee, green beans, chocolate, umami, soy. Taste is more of the same. It's good, but maybe I'm fatigued.

Keg at Man in The Moon, Stockholm. Black with small beige head. Caramelly nose with some bourbon. Sweet with full body and syrupy, well rounded mouthfeel. Caramelly mud cake, some bourbon and treacle. Very sweet. Liqueur-like and simplistic.
