Padrino is our attempt to capture the bold elements of Italian Espresso. We've added some vanilla to smooth the transition between the rough coffee edge and the sweet stout body. We also added a twist of lemon to brighten the beer and tease your senses a bit.

Can from the source: Can from the source: pour black with a beige head. Aroma is loads of pleasantly roasted coffee (high quality artisanal), hints of vanilla, but I cannot really detect lemon in the nose. Body is smooth and the alcohol is well covered. Not sure what the lemon does, but this is a very good coffee stout.

Pretty nice stuff, and a throwback to the good stouts Aslin made a couple years ago when they first started. This one’s still 15%, but somehow tastes like those lighter 10-12% stouts they used to do that were so balanced. Roast, dark chocolate and bitternut. Pours black without any head or lacing. Slick consistency. A hint of leather. Mostly bitter finish with some caramel sweetness. Tap at Alexandria location.

Tap. Pours clear black, minimal head or lacing. Aroma is mocha, espresso, vanilla, coconut. Flavor is quite sweet, light plus bitter. Fullish body, soft mouthfeel. Low carbonation. Pretty good sipper.
