BAMMMM...I was have a couple different beers in the beer garden this weekend at Mnt. Bike OR. when two different people told me I needed to try the expresso....It outstanding.

appearance- black dark pour....One could say express black. It had a tan layor in the head that was like a nice toast.
Smell- I got a lot off coffee bean. Nothing else but one tasty shot.
Taste- COFFEE...with carmel swirled in on the back end.
Mouthfeel- It was filling but not chew through it beer if you follow me.

I strongly recommend this beer. It was the perfect answer to a great day on the single track trails.

Thanks for the great beer

Serving type: on-tap

had this on tap at the oakshire hellshire release

Pours a rich dark black with almost no head, the little head quickly vanished into brown lacing.

lots and lots of coffee with some rich chocolate notes and matliness

lots of coffee flavor with a bit of chocolate and some bitterness from the coffee. Lots of rich malts.

a little bit bittter from the sheer amount of coffee but other than that nicely carbonated and a good thick richness.

overall a good beer. i'd love to see it barrel aged to tone down the bitterness a bit and bring out some more of the oak, vanilla and chocolate.
