Description: Brooklyn Intensified Coffee Porter starts as a big, chocolatey ale, ready to take on super powers. The first power is gained from months of aging in Kentucky bourbon barrels. The second arises from delectable beans harvested by our pals at Finca El Manzano Single Origin Coffee in El Salvador. The final power comes from Blue Bottle Coffee, who roast the coffee to perfection. Brace yourself for complex notes of dark chocolate, vanilla, oak, berries, and dried fruit, coming to intensify you.

(Bottle) Dark brown colour, almost black, with foamy beige head. Malty, roasted nose with fresh coffee, chocolate, dark bread, bourbon and red berries. Malty, roasted taste with notes of fresh coffee, dark chocolate, dark bread, bourbon, vanilla, oak wood, raisins and a balanced coffee bitterness in the finish. Full body, with a touch of sweetness. Alcohol really well hidden. Really smooth mouthfeel, with fresh coffee and bourbon growing all the way. Great beer.

Bottle. Brown color with beige head. Aroma is super intense bourbon, with all the caramel and vanilla, coffee, chocolate. Taste is caramel, vanilla, booze, wood sugar, coffee, coca cola, chocolate, schnapspraline. Oily mouthfeel with medium carbonation and a boozy finish. Soo much barrel, but still tasty.
