Our oatmeal brown ale gets aged on cacao nibs and vanilla (beans, not extract) and finished with cold press coffee, yielding a lush, cappuccino-like creaminess. Also, it’s pronounced ka-COW.

Draft at Surley. Very interesting. Vanilla and chocolate with a definite bitter coffee finish. Very good.

Tap @ Stub and Herbs Darkness Eve. Pours a bit cloudy, dark brown appearance with a brown head. Chocolate milky, rich cocoa, light coffee, vanilla aroma. A little thin, huge chocolate powder, vanilla, light wood, Hershey’s flavor.
