The hardest thing to explain on the side of a can is when we put things together because they complement rather than supplement. Balinator exists because each winter, Fair Mountain Coffee Roasters brings in Bali Blue Moon beans that evoke the same vanilla, dark chocolate and spicy licorice notes we find in a well-constructed doppelbock. To augment this notion, we brewed a proper doppel, subbing out hops with Bali beans. At the beginning of the boil, where hops would temper the malt’s sweetness with a bitter touch, we used raw green beans. At whirlpool, where hops would pull in spicy direction, we used ground, dark roast. Finally, for dry additions, where hops would layer fruit, we used medium roasted whole beans. Drink Balinator because beauty hides in suggestion.
