LA CUMBRE MIND PHOC

“Strong pale ale with coffee” softly caresses the palate as delicately creamed coffee bean influence delicately rises above dewy tea-like pale malting and earthen hops. Casual coffee tones eventually fade into citric-spiced spritz. Instead of getting blown away by New Mexican ‘mind fuck,’ easygoing java-fueled moderation suits lighter thirsts as well as hard-core mocha mavens.

OMMEGANG JOEMMEGANG

Admirably hybridized Belgian dark ale (brewed with cocoa nibs) showcases Stagecoach French-roast coffee above sugar-spiced yeast expectancy. Milky brown chocolate creaming and burnt caramel malting deepen capacious coffee theme. Sharp dark-roasted hop bittering lingers beside mocha java intensity. In deep recess, mild pineapple, grapefruit and orange peel nuances waver.

(LOCAL OPTION) MORNING WOOD OAK AGED COFFEE AMBER

Delightfully silken coffee-roasted amber ale with mild oaken vanilla influence and brown-sugared maple glaze entrenching crisp soft-watered flow. Though spice-hopped coffee frontage gets neutralized by roasted chestnut-hazelnut-pecan pleasantries and recessive  bourbon-port-sherry wining, its mocha-derived caramel latte, whipped cream espresso, creme brulee, toffee and coconut undertones prove amiable. 

BOULEVARD COFFEE ALE

Smoothly creamed coffee profile sweetens above heavy vanilla bean twist and dark chocolate roast of limited edition tawny amber malt beverage. Coffee ice cream theme lingers thru hickory-smoked rye, oats and barley malting and hop-charred hemp oiling.  Ethiopian Sidamo coffee influence is profound, providing rich mocha access without getting gunky. Hazelnut coffee, caramel latte, amaretto, espresso and cocoa afterthoughts fly by.
