Notes

Dark grain (over 3 L) added 15 min before mash end.
Co-pitching S-33 and S-04 combines clean fermentation and high flocculation with complex esters and higher alcohol tolerance for a balanced, robust flavor profile.
-Infuse whole coffee beans in rum for 2-3 weeks and add at bottling for a rich coffee flavor.

One of the best stouts I’ve ever tasted, and the best I’ve brewed (homebrew cheat code: really good aged rum for the coffee extract). Even better after one year of bottle conditioning.
