Commercial Description:
This foreign style stout has actually been infused with espresso beans, roasted by our favorite locally owned and operated coffee house. It has an intense roast character with a sharp but pleasant full-bodied finish. Special thanks go out to Kevin and Lisa Meyers, the owners of Flying M Coffee House. With out them we probably wouldn't be awake to brew beer at all. "This is a REAL breakfast of champions."

APPEARANCE: Very dark with a thick tight foam that lasted well, leaving good lacing as it dissipated. AROMA: Dark chocolate, and coffee were most prevalent, finishing with spicey hops. FLAVOR: A big mouthfull of dark chocolate-covered coffee beans with a nice dry hop finish. Very nice flavors blended well. PALATE: Creamy, medium-full body lets the flavors linger long on the tongue. OVERALL IMPRESSION: I could get in trouble with this one. I found this to be a smooth drinker.

Loved the nose on this one. Liked the dried fruit tones in both the nose and flavor. Roast malt was a little forward, but still relatively easy drinking. Espresso bean notes were evident, but not overpowering.

Growler. Poured a very dark brown color. Some light brown legs. No head. Roasty malt aroma with some ash and dark fruit. Flavor of roasted malt and coffee. Dull carbonation and mouthfeel. Thin.

Very dark brown, almost black pour. Thick to drink with deep coffee flavor, as well as chocolate, roastiness, malts, and hopiness to finish. Similar to thier porter, but more intense coffee flavor.
