Commercial Description:
To honor a true scholar, the Requiem Espresso Stout’s October release celebrates Edgar Allan Poe’s 200th birthday. Fusing fresh roast espresso beans with malted barley and fresh hops, the Requiem Espresso Stout is a curiously delightful libation that weighs in at 7.5% alcohol by volume. Not your mass-marketed, fizzy-yellow-swill, the Requiem Espresso Stout is instead a rich, medium bodied, viscous treat with hints of dark chocolate, smokiness, and espresso beans.

Bottle. Pours with a tan head and a black body. Aroma of coffee, cold and strong pressed with a spicy roast and a touch of chocolate. Taste is espresso...really really strong coffee, and lightly smokey and chocolaty. Exceptionally pleasant. Medium bubbles, decently well attenuated finish. I like what I am seeing from these guys. Give me more!

Served at Brewfest in Los Angeles. Pours black with a thin tan head. Aroma is all coffee, some dark chocolate notes. Huge espresso flavor mixed with roasted malts. Medium bodied. Not a bad take on a coffee-infused stout, but I’ve had many better.

Dark and chocolatey. Nice richness without going overboard into bourbon flavors. A little bit of coffe taste too.
