Macchiato is made with pale, caramel, chocolate, and roasted malts. Oats and lactose are added to give the beer a more robust and sweeter taste. The sweetness of the lactose helps balance the bitterness of the brew just like in the coffee drink, which is our inspiration. The roasted malts give the beer its dark color as well as its intense flavor and aroma. Willamette hops are added to balance out the sweetness of the malts. Finally, PJ’s Coffee espresso dolce beans are added to the aging tank. This gives the beer a strong coffee flavor and aroma that compliments the existing flavors of the malt.

    Growler. Open with care if you get it in a bottle or growler - it foams from here to the Pole of Inaccessibility! When you finally get some - pours a rich coffee brown with a VERY thick tan head that leaves some good lacing. Quality coffee dominates the strong aroma, which has caramel, semi-sweet chocolate, roast malt and licorice notes as well. Flavor is like iced coffee - good iced coffee from a good cafe - that has touches of chocolate, caramel and licorice, as well as a malty underpinning so you know this is beer. Firm, fizzy texture leaves a strong and slightly bitter coffee finish. More espresso than milk, but udderly delicious.
