Count up another success for Kettlehouse and their ever rotating selection of fun, small batch beers. I didn’t have a chance to ask about this one, though I did overhear that there wasn’t much left. From the title, I assume it has an old bongwater porter base, but there’s no mistaking a hefty quantity of coffee added in. This one is available in pints at the Myrtle Street location on nitro. It has a strong coffee aroma and taste and the thick creamy head typical of a nitro beer. I get a lot of chocolatey undertones with a slight coffee (hop?) bite towards the end.
