Good Morning Coffee Stout

Tap to rate

A big, robust coffee stout that leans decisively toward its signature ingredient. The coffee character sits front and centre, anchored by silky vanilla ice cream notes that soften the roast without dissolving it. There's a smooth creaminess throughout — not unlike the mouthfeel of a flat white — that keeps the 7% alcohol warm and inviting rather than hot. The lactose reinforces that velvety texture, making this a beer for slow sipping after dark, when the coffee's bitterness and the vanilla's sweetness trade places with each sip.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Good Morning Coffee Stout

◎ Appearance

Deep black-brown, opaque and impenetrable to light. A dense, persistent tan head builds with pour and clings to the glass with fine lacing. Carbonation is restrained, befitting a contemplative sipper.

◌ Aroma

Coffee dominates the nose—freshly ground, roasted with a slight char. Beneath lies a soft vanilla sweetness, almost creamy, that prevents the roast from becoming harsh. Gentle notes of cocoa and dark grain provide depth without competing.

◐ Taste

Coffee takes center stage on entry, bold and assertive yet never astringent. The mid-palate reveals silky vanilla ice cream notes that mellow the roast's edge, while lactose contributes a velvety creaminess reminiscent of a flat white. Bitterness and sweetness alternate with each sip, anchored by full body and rich malt character. Dark chocolate and faint dark fruit add nuance without distraction.

◑ Finish

Medium-long finish with coffee bitterness lingering pleasantly, softened by vanilla's residual sweetness. Warmth from the 7% alcohol fades gently, leaving a roasted, slightly sweet aftertaste inviting another sip.
