Mikerphone Brewing Amburana
“Cold brew roasted coffee overwhelms any other subtle aromatics. The initial sip is a nice blend of intensely bitter roasted coffee and chocolate sweetness with the bitterness of the coffee slowly fading and allowing some caramel, vanilla, and custard-like notes to emerge as things fade into the finish. The alcoholic heat is not hiding but lends a smooth runway for the beer to land upon and remain drinkable even with the ABV.”
