Coffee Cream

◎ Appearance

Deep brown to nearly black in the glass, with an opaque body characteristic of the style. A dense, tan head forms and persists well, leaving attractive lacing on the glass as you drink. The carbonation is moderate and steady, creating a soft visual presence.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with roasted coffee and dark chocolate notes, built on a foundation of roasted barley and chocolate malt. Locally sourced coffee beans and cacao nibs add depth and specificity to the aromatic profile, avoiding any sharp or acidic edges. Subtle sweetness from the lactose suggests cream and softness underneath.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with smooth coffee and chocolate flavors, rounded by the lactose that defines the milk stout character. Roasted malt provides structure without astringency, while the cacao nibs introduce a gentle cocoa bitterness that balances the sweetness. The finish remains clean, with restrained bitterness (18 IBU) keeping the beer approachable rather than aggressive.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste is medium in length, with coffee and chocolate notes lingering pleasantly without becoming cloying. The low IBU ensures no harsh edges, leaving the palate with a soft, slightly sweet impression.
