Bourbon barrel aged stout with coffee added, conditioned on coconut.
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!” This version does it with fresh grounds, coconut, and good vibes all around!

Tap@Peders, Copenhagen (21/10/2021) - black with a tan head. Dark roasted and sweet malty with notes of chocolate and caramel, nice silky mouthfeel, full bodied, coconut and bourbon coalesce into the finish. Gorgeous.
