Griffith
Griffith is the brewery's yearly imperial stout with coffee, a recipe it has brewed since its early days; the name was shortened from Griffith J. Griffith. Deep roast gives dark chocolate and a charred edge, and the finish returns to rich chocolate. The unaged version receives around three pounds of coffee per barrel. For the current batch at 13.5 percent, a natural-process Ethiopian coffee from the Guji region adds blueberry, pomegranate and honey over a full, warming body.
