Dark copper color. Aromas and flavors of fruity espresso beans, hints of cherries, dark chocolate, brown bread with raisins, and honey-oat loaf with a bright, spritzy, dryish light-to-medium body and an even, relaxed finish conveying notes of grilled green peppers. A hoppy, coffee-flavored ale with a distinctive fruity profile.

Flavored stouts are brown to dark brown and average between 6.5-8.5% in alcohol with variations depending on the interpretation of the style. They can be sweet or dry and commonly derive their flavor from dark fruits, coffee, and chocolate added during the brewing process in addition to the standard malt, hops, yeast and water. Noteworthy examples of this style include: Rogue Double Chocolate Stout, Young’s Double Chocolate Stout and New Glarus Coffee Stout.
