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."

@Mountain Beerfest-on tap-pours a light brown head and black color. Aroma is dark malt-hot chocolate/some coffee. Taste is dark malt-strong coffee/oatmeal, some bitter/astringent.

Growler sample: Opaque black with an oily viscosity and a thin ring of tan head. Aroma of candied fruits, grapes and plums with a mild roastiness. Body starts with a lightly sweet, earthy, dark fruity complex flavor with lots of bittering coffee amid a thin watery palate. A decent brew, but could use some more body.

Pitck black color, thick tan head, very creamy, just like nitros usually are. Tons of lacing. The aroma has some light maltiness with a touch of fruit with astringency from the dark malts and bitter cofffee grounds. The flavor is very well balanced between alcohol, stout flavors and roasted coffee, similar to Speedway but lighter & easier drinking. The finish is mainly one dimensional with the roast & nitro coming through. Good stout, better on cask or CO2 though. Tried again on CO2. Came with no head but tasted similar

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.

Mmmmm, this was quite an interesting little stout, first things is the almost perfectly roasted flavors and acidity, great chocolate flavors, some dark candied fruits, and some dry roasted coffee in the finish. Nice

Very little head on this one on an opaque black body. Coffee is underneath the candied hops. Dry body. Interesting. Hops and coffee blend well in this one.

Pours a dark brown, almost black. The head is big and creamy and there is sheet lacing. The nose is of chocolate, roast, coffee/mocha, and light floral hops. Flavors of roast chocolate and some coffee. The malts were not as strong in the flavor as the aroma. Hops were nice and bitter. Nitro creamy palate, chewy body and a bitter finish of coffee.
