We decided to kick off a little series of stouts to feature local coffee roasters, and selfishly, to observe the results of different beans in beer. We kept the ABV relatively low, the body chewy and voluptuous, and let the coffee do most of the talking.

This variant is Pilot Coffee Roasters : Las Palmas (its tasting notes are juicy, cherry, and brown sugar)! Velvety and rich, with a sweetness that’s rounded out by mild bitterness and tons of coffee flavour up front, and behind, and everywhere.
