In a process unique to Two Roads, we mixed a locally-roasted Ethiopian/Sumatra blend of beans with a rich oatmeal stout under pressure (like espresso but without the steam) using our German-built “Brewnik” device. The mixture is steeped for several days resulting in a true, cold-brewed coffee stout. Hop on the Two Roads Espressway!

335 ml bottle. Toffee, cassis, roated coffee beans, caramel, dark chocolate, citrus, cocoa, roasted bread crumbs and some smoke. Malty sweetness, coffee bitterness. Full bodied, oily texture, soft carbonated, long intense dry bitter finish. Very nice!

12 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 10/17/2018. Pours opaque dark brown/black color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky tan head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice dense soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a light amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big nutty dark roasted coffee, milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, caramel, brown sugar, molasses, toffee, toasted oats, and dark/brown bread; with light notes of licorice, raisin, plum, cherry, fig, date, smoke, char, herbal, floral, grass, pepper, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of dark/roast/bready malts, coffee, and light fruity yeast/earthy hop notes; with great strength. Taste of big nutty dark roasted coffee, milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, caramel, brown sugar, molasses, toffee, toasted oats, and dark/brown bread; with light notes of licorice, raisin, plum, cherry, fig, date, smoke, char, herbal, floral, grass, pepper, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. Light herbal, grassy, spicy hop; and roast/charred coffee bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of nutty dark roasted coffee, milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, caramel, brown sugar, molasses, toffee, toasted oats, dark/brown bread, light dark fruit/smoke/char, herbal, floral, grass, yeast/roast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malts, coffee, and light fruity yeast/earthy hop flavors; with a great roast/hop bitter/sweet balance; no cloying, acrid, astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, creamy/silky/velvety/bready, and lightly sticky/chalky mouthfeel that is fantastic. Minimal warming alcohol for 6.5%. Overall this is an outstanding oatmeal coffee stout! All around awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malts, coffee, and light fruity yeast/earthy hop flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the mildly bitter/drying finish. Very soft feel, not overly roasty/bitter. Amazing balance of rich malts and fruity/nutty coffee complexity; with mild fruity yeast and earthy hop presence against sweetness. A highly enjoyable offering, and spot on style example.

35,5 cl bottle @ home. Bottled 15.08.2018, BBE 15.05.2019
Aroma has coffee, mocha and licorice. Flavour has coffee, some peppery spices and licorice. Decent coffee beer, perhaps a bit straightforwards though.

Sample from a can at Veteran's. Pours black, with a medium sized, frothy, tan head. The aroma is milk chocolate, mild coffee, some earth, and caramel. Sweet and roasty, with a smooth, strong bitterness. Light to medium body, with a syrupy, sharp mouthfeel. This is a nice, mellow, coffee stout.

A black beer, a head is quite big and beige. Aroma has coffee, chocolate, roastiness, also richness of malts. Taste has coffee, roastiness, some liquorice. Medium+ bodied, that fitts nicely to this beer. Strongly coffee, I like it.

Bottled 355ml. -from Weyermann Fan Shop Bamberg. Black coloured, small to medium sized brown head, pure fresh ground coffee in the nose. Light roasted malt, coffee, filter coffee, mild notes of chocolate and rather dry coffee finish. Such a great coffee aroma but bit flat taste.

Bottle. Brown color with beige head. Aroma is fresh coffee ground, earthy, leathery. Taste is metallic, adstringent, like coffee powder. Metallic mouthfeel with medium carbonation. Aroma is good, but taste is too metallic for me.
