Coffee Boi was one of the first few beers we ever made here at Second Sin, and we love it so much that we want to bring it back again and again, with a new coffee varietal from our friends at Calm Waters each time.
The base is a smooth and full bodied Oatmeal Stout with a touch of lactose for sweetness, alongside notes of dark chocolate and roast, amped up with the additional character of single origin coffee.

Can pour from a trade with AirForceHops--thanks, Chris! It's an opaque, virtually black dark brown with nice sparkle, thin cap light brown head with poor retention and no lacing. Aroma is strong bittersweet coffee/roasted malt, dark chocolate and vanilla. Taste is more coffee bitterness than aroma but sweet creamy lactose offset is still there. Mouthfeel is full bodied, thick, soft carbonation and moderately bitter finish. Excellent strength for 5.5% and oats produce full body. Coffee bitterness remains with just right amount of lactose for sweet balance.

Can from AFHops, drunk 7/28/23, thanks, Chris. Dark, undetermined clarity. Small, dark beige head to ring/cover quickly. Pretty god damned nice, fruity, moderately roasty coffee. No lactose, no syrupy/sugary malts. Could be quite a nice one here! Reminds me of some of Trillium's stuff, like Pot and Kettle or Night and Day. Flavor is moderately sweet with a bit of lactose and plentiful, fruity coffee with excellent coffee extraction. Lots of flavor for 5.5%. Not too much sugar either, drying out nicely on the finish and yet, not too roasty. Nice!
