Boxing Bear Wired Bear Coffee Stout

Wired Bear hits immediate with dark roast and a sharp coffee bite that doesn't soften much. There's an almost electric quality to it—the name makes sense. The stout base is there, solid and dark, but it knows it's a supporting player. Finish is dry and slightly grainy, like the coffee's doing most of the talking. It's less "dessert stout" and more "your morning coffee got boozy."

Santa Fe Java Stout

Java Stout is sleeker. The coffee integrates deeper into the malt structure instead of sitting on top like a garnish. You get chocolate notes underneath, maybe a whisper of cocoa, and the coffee reads more like a flavor layer than a shock. The body feels slightly fuller despite matching ABV—probably how they're balancing the ingredients. It's the kind of stout that works as an after-dinner thing, not just a caffeine delivery system.
