The beer begins as a malty brown ale, comprised of Belgian aroma, caramel malts, and oats. A bit of lactose adds body and some sweetness, and a heaping helping of cocoa nibs in the whirlpool provides further richness, and a deep chocolaty aroma. Hop aroma is nonexistent, and bitterness is there just to keep the sweetness in check. We worked with our great friends at Stagecoach Coffee in Cooperstown to come up with a custom coffee blend that complimented our base beer. Sumatra, Papua New Guinea, and French roast form a combination with chocolate, earth, spice, fruit, and light roast characteristics. Following primary fermentation the beer is cold crashed and yeast is removed. Coffee is added to a secondary tank and the beer is circulated through the freshly roasted beans to extract even more flavor and aroma. The result is really something special: aromas of cold brewed coffee, milk chocolate and rich malt – the taste follows, round, smooth and creamy, with a touch of sweetness.

    Pours clear mahogany with a thick, frothy, and rather persistent buff head. Malty, fruity aroma has an overtone of quality roast coffee and a smoky note. Flavor really is like a good Belgian infused with quality coffee plus a little charcoal - fruity, sweet malty and coffee tones cavort with wood smoke. Texture is fairly firm and fairly fizzy, leaving a roasted coffee finish. What a brew!
