COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Beeruccino is a porter by malt recipe but designed to be a more than suitable replacement to a plain old after dinner cup of coffee. We use highly roasted malts in the mash then during the boil we add clean American hops and black pepper to match the complexities of locally roasted coffee we infuse it with. During fermentation we add almond wood chips which lend subtle vanilla notes to round it all out. While high in alcohol to aid in its aperitif intentions there is little to no noticeable alcohol “heat.” This beer pairs wonderfully with just about any dessert it’s put alongside but to be honest we like it as the dessert itself!

skmikeg (443) - Poway, California, USA - MAY 4, 2013

On tap at padres beerfest. Pours mainly black with some brown hues. Aroma is of good coffee, roasted malts, coco, and caramel. Taste is similar but also has even better coffee flavor and some nice vanilla flavor. Has a medium body with a slightly watery yet still slightly creamy mouthfeel, and roasty moderate finish. Overall, a tasty porter that makes nice use of coffee from my favorite coffee roaster.

womencantsail (7100) - Garbage Grove, California, USA - DEC 12, 2012

Almost black in color with a small khaki head. Plenty of coffee on the aroma. Lots of chocolate, somewhat nutty, and a hint of dark fruit. A decent amount of roasted malt, too. Unfortunately a somewhat watery flavor. Good coffee notes, roasted malt, dark chocolate, a bit of coffee grounds, subtle fruit, and some toasted nuts. Just okay, but not awful.
