Scottish-Style Stout with Coffee Added
While we love massive hulking dark beers, sometimes you want to drink a whole can of stout by yourself! Despite its restrained strength, we don't sacrifice malt-intensity or body. The base stout was inspired by Scottish ales with Golden Promise pale malt, dark caramel malt, and roasted barley. We add a twist with Peruvian Tabaconas coffee beans locally roasted and then added mere days before canning. The coffee intensifies the chocolate-notes from the malt, while bringing its own grape and dried fruit aromatics.
Cheers,
Mike & Scott
Batch #1 - 5.7% ABV
Batch #2 - 6.1% ABV
Batch #3 - 6.5% ABV

Nice roasted coffee stout. Sapwood have really impressed me, and have again. Thanks JD! Attempt at a palate cleanser after that Troon. See how it compares to Monkish.

(Thanks, Andy! Nimbleprop) Can. A- Roasty, malt, coffee. A- Black color, dark liquid, light brown head. T- Malted milk balls, coffee, roasty, mild caramel. P- Medium body, creamy texture, slightly flat carbonation, balanced finish. O- As close as I had to an Irish beer for St. Patty's day. I really appreciate the amount of flavor in this light of a stout. Kinda a nice break from big pastry stouts. Lots of roasted coffee and malted chocolate milk throughout.
