For the full distribution batch, Tim and Phil selected a blend of two beans: The first is a washed coffee from the Santa Petrona farm in El Salvador. The second is from the San Jeronimo Miramar farm in Guatemala and was fermented with Bavarian Wheat Yeast.
Brewed with a malt bill comprised of a bevy of European specialty malt and loads of flaked oats. With this rich stout base, the coffee melds with the caramel and chocolate malts to bring forward layers of chocolate cake and freshly brewed coffee, all wrapped up with a smooth yet boozy finish. This beer reminds us of putting chocolate sauce in your morning coffee, late night diner hangs, and early morning stout brewshifts.

Black with thin soapy head. Aroma has liquorice and bay leaf. Flavour is a little grassy, nutty too. Loads of bay leaf. I don't get much coffee. A bit watery too.

Strong stout brewed with two types of coffee beans, thanks Steve for sharing. Thin, deep ruddy beige, open 'head' with some small patches in the middle; black robe with mahogany edge - but marred by something utterly bizarre: a gelatinous, beige 'ring' of what I imagine can only be proteins, had loosened from the can's bottom during pouring and plunged into the glass, only to resurface again as the glass got emptied... Never have I seen such an amount of solid material in a beer, though 'solid' probably is not the right word, as the matter immediately crumbled apart upon lightly touching it; I managed to bring myself to having a small taste of this crumbling gelatine and found that apart from a vague (and not unpleasant) breadiness, it had no outspoken flavour at all, so fortunately it cannot have had any influence on the taste of the beer. Aroma indeed very coffeeish, as in cappuccino and latte macchiato but also actual coffee powder and mocha ice cream, further impressions of black chocolate, caramel, walnut liqueur, black pipe tobacco, dry cookies, vague bourbon, nougat, old liquorice and leather. Sweet onset, pear syrup and candied cherry with very light sourish undertone, medium carbonation with very full, viscous, 'motor-oily' body; intense fondant-chocolatey and toffeeish core with pronounced roasted coffee bitterness towards the end, combining with the sweetness into a general effect of a liquid 'coffee praline', amplified by sweet and hot, rum-like alcohol, which remains in place and does not become too obnoxious, absorbed as it is by the thickness of the beer. Bittersweet, long finish, quite intense but certainly delivering its coffee promise; apart from the bizarre experience with that gelatinous matter, this was a pleasant and solid one to drink - but I would not recommend it to those with a dislike for coffee...
Lci. Ja, koffie dus.

Oh boy this one’s a looker! Pours deep black with a thick brown head. Aroma is massive coffee, cold brew, espresso, not green in the slightest, beautiful! Backing that up there’s lovely chocolate, cocoa, caramel and fudge. Flavour is light heavy sweet and bitter. Under full bodied but with a thick creamy milkshake texture and soft carbonation. Lovely!

Can at home. Opaque jet black color with a full sizer dark brown colored head. Awesome appearance. Aroma is full of -lightly sweetish- coffee and chocolate notes. Flavor is insanely coffee and (milk) chocolate, lightly bitter, malt bitter, but sweetish a bit as well. Smooth mouthfeel, nice oily creamy texture. Might take a little getting used to, but it's definitely pretty nice.

Pitch black pour with a thin dark tan head. Notes of dark roasted coffee, cold brewed coffee, roasted malts, smoke, ash, a bit of licorice. Pretty good stuff, really well-balanced. Extra points on the coffee and the smooth texture.
