This robust dark brew has been created in conjunction with Crescent Moon to coffee to come up with a special five bean blend to bring out the depth of the beer. Originally produced to celebrate our 10th anniversary, this has now become our late-winter seasonal. Note the aromas of toffee, licorice and coffee roastiness. Then take a sip–there’s a malty richness on the palate followed by chocolate, coffee, spices and perhaps even some licorice character from the Mount Rainier hops. The beer finishes with a subtle black cherry/berry character from rare Ethiopian Sidamo beans. Oh yeah, it also packs a royal kick at 8% alcohol. Coffee: Blend of five Estate coffees locally roasted Malts: Two Row Pale, Munich, Chocolate, Medium Crystal and Cara Malts. Hops: Magnum and Mount Rainier Yeast: English Ale Original Gravity: 18 Plato
