These bottles represent the culmination of a coffee beer project nearly two years in the making. Double Shot, our beloved coffee stout, has been refined time and time again to achieve a beer that is both as robust in its base as it is a worthy purveyor of its respective coffee. We experience flavors and aromas of dark chocolate, caramel, milk chocolate covered espresso beans, and a hint of citrus-like acidity. The mouthfeel is luxurious with a soft and velvety carbonation. It is, in our opinion, the result of what is possible with the careful selection of ingredients paired with attentive brewing execution. We invite you to enjoy this bottle fresh and in your most beloved company!

At ratebeer best pours out black topped with a tan head. Nose is nice big coffee hit with the base sweet chocolate milk vanilla notes. Tatse is more of the nice sweet malts and big coffee to balance the sweetness.

[1/28/17] Bottle/Draught at RateBeer Best festival in Santa Rosa. Black with a tan head. Big coffee aroma, somewhat vegetal, roast, some dark chocolate. Sweet flavor, bitterish finish. Full-bodied. Great.

Bottle shared by Nelson on 6/5/16.
Large, tan head shows strong retention atop a deep, dark chocolate brown body with some clarity on the edges, at least.
Lovely toffee, lactic and vanilla notes in the nose certainly signify it’s going to be a sweet one (as all the shot series are), but there’s ample prune and other dark fruits, with light ashy-char and an assertive but not heavy coffee character. Graham cracker, caramel and earthy roasted barley sit in the background, lightly. No alcohol, flaws.
Very sweet and with the strong graham cracker, earth and ash thing that a lot of the double shots seem to have, which really turns me off. Otherwise, the coffee character is done very well, with soft, mild roast adding light char and vinousness and a hint of bitter chocolate. Lots of vanilla/fudge/toffee and a low but fairly engaging carbonation and soft, syrupy texture.
