A burly export stout loaded with our bourbon barrel-aged coffee beans. We’ve had great success with Black House & Monsters’ Park dosed with barrel-aged coffee, but we wanted to design a beer from scratch specifically to feature these beans. Full-bodied and a touch sweet, City of the Dead will be explosively aromatic and saturated with barrel-aged coffee character.

Draught at BierCraft Wesbrook, Vancouver
Black color. Creamy beige head. Strange aroma, a bit ashy and a bit vinous, maybe sour. Dry mouthfeel, the sourness from the dark malts seems high, or maybe it’s a contribution from the barrel; red wine and coffee, not a harmonious combination.
Not a bad beer, but…
