Zumbar is brewed with “El Mundo”, a rich blend of Indonesian and Latin American coffee beans, from local coffee roaster "Zumbar Coffee and Tea". El Mundo is added in the mash and also in the fermenter. As well as ridiculous amounts of whole bean coffee, we added 2Lbs per Barrel of 72% cacao Belgian Chocolate in the secondary.
A true Russian Imperial Stout at 9.3% ABV, this beer is nevertheless well balanced with Nugget hops providing 45 IBU’s ensuring a pleasant bitterness offsetting the powerful combinations of malt, coffee and chocolate. Enjoy with care!
