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.

Served on tap at Beer Run in Charlottesville, VA. Pours almost purely black with no light escaping from any part of the glass. Medium tan head with good head retention and lacing. Aroma is big rich chocolate with big rich coffee. Some roastiness and caramel as well. Taste is intense, bitter, rich coffee with big dark chocolate notes and some roastiness and fruitiness. Full bodied. Pretty good stuff. 8/4/8/4/15

courtesy of kiefdog. Thanks Kevin for this amazing beer. Pours black, mocha head with some thin golden lacing. Aroma is just filled with coffee and roasted malts some light milk-chocolate. Taste, sweet, some coffee lactose notes and chocolate. Light bitter hops, coffee remains enjoyable. Remains on the light coffee side compared to other coffee inspired stouts.

Sampled and Manhattan Cask Fest - initially comes across as a medium-sweet, slick, medium-bodied stout, with notes of cocoa and vanilla - coffee doesn’t really show up until the finish, but it lingers on the palate for a while - the coffee in the nose is much more present than in the flavor, which was a letdown - it gets points for not being nearly as bitter as most coffee stouts, but I like my coffee stouts to have more potent coffee flavor.
