pFriem Family Brewers Cold Brew Coffee Barrel Aged Stout

“Coffee with a pepper-flesh character that fades into the oak. The flavor is bitter espresso fortified with a half shot of bourbon. Finishes off dry with lingering bitterness.”

__Aroma:__ “Really nice prune and raisin vinous character up front very evident of Belgian yeast—a healthy blend of fruity esters and spicy phenols: pear, overripe apple, and light banana with a pleasant floral, spice note. Great dark burnt caramel and toffee, with a roast character akin to earthy moss.” __Flavor:__ “Bright yeasty prune esters and a white pepper phenolic dominate but still showcase the roast. Banana and clove, with star anise, black licorice, and a touch of floral spice. Lime and lemon citrus notes. The coffee and dark caramel character comes through as it warms.” __Overall:__ “A great job balancing and harmonizing the different flavor profiles. The dark caramel is fantastic with this ever-so-slight dark roast/special B character. Banana bread with raisins becomes more apparent as it warms. The monks would be proud!”

“Pleasant, rich fruity nose with candy undertones. Grainy malt adds a foundation for a clean lactic sour character with hints of peach, white pepper, guava, mango, fresh leather. High carbonation adds bite and definition to the finish. Bright and crisp, but with enough complexity to stay interesting.”
