    Re: Coffee infused beer?

    A beer made by one of the top brewers in the US uses CP made from Finca Vista Hermosa, a bean I reviewed on here some years back. The flavor of the beans comes through very nicely in the beer.

    Here are some specs on it:

    STYLE: Coffee flavored American Brown Ale
    MALT: Pale Ale, Aromatic, Medium Crystal, Dark Crystal, Oats and Chocolate
    HOPS: Columbus,Willamette
    COFFEE: Guatemalan Finca Vista Hermosa
    YEAST: English Ale
    OG: 14º Plato
    ABV: 5.5% v/v
    COLOR: 45 ºSRM
    IBU: 45

    Toys! I must have new toys!!!

      I havent tried "longshot" yet but have enjoyed a few coffee stouts and porter styles. Most memorable being Mikkeller Beer Geek Brunch Weasel.

      Ive also been working with a mate on a variety of brewing and related projects and have made several batches of Yirgacheffe Pale Ale and are working on some other ideas too. Its good fun!

        I tend to always have one of my kegs here with a coffee porter in it. Last time I added a double shot into the fermentation stage and next time I am trying ground beans in the mash.

        There are some very nice coffee beers out there...including mine!

          Adding coffee to your beer (at fermentation) is a fairly standard thing to do. There is even a style called "coffee stout". ...
          Did it have a distinct coffee aroma?
          This is true
          Ive been enjoying dark ales for a while now and I just found this one to have a particular Robust coffee flavour.

            Well might have to have a shindig with beers and coffee then!

            Funny this thread popped up actually, as a bottle of longshot (as well as a nice selection of other craft beers) got presented to me yesterday from the other half and kids. Im easily catered for on birthdays! Its either beer or coffee stuff usually!

            Looking forward to tasting this one.

              Yea, It wasnt the BEST dark ale Ive ever had, but I was pretty impressed.
              Its very sweet and has a quite robust coffee flavour (which is what makes it that little bit difference to other dark brews) with a snappy cocoa aftertaste .
              Id be happy to buy it again.
