The Boston Breweries craft brewing company has teamed up with local coffee-roasters Deluxe Coffeeworks for the Black River Coffee Stout. The jet-black stout with a toffee coloured head has an unmistakable aroma of freshly roasted coffee with a hint of malt.
“This is a stout: a drink that is to be savoured rather than chugged. It is the perfect evening drink, and is ideal at meal time too. It’s a fantastic accompaniment to sweeter foods, and the subtle carbonation makes it perfect to cleanse palates after creamy dishes,” says Chris Barnard, Chief Brewer and MD of Boston Breweries.
Stouts, which have been around since 1677, are traditionally dark brown beers made with roasted malt – Boston Breweries have stayed with that traditional method of brewery, but added coffee for a modern twist.
Judd Nicolay, co-founder and operations manager of Deluxe Coffeeworks is in full agreement. “Black River Coffee Stout fits the Deluxe Coffee profile to perfection. We are passionate about coffee and we think that this is good enough reasons for us to do what we do: roast, supply and serve coffee in the best way we know how. In Black River Coffee Stout our coffee taste is brilliantly captured, and we are proud to be collaborating with Boston Breweries on this great stout.”
Deluxe Coffeeworks’ full-bodied, full-flavoured and smooth coffee beans enhancing Boston Breweries perfected brewing methods promises to be a great addition to the local beer market. Black River Coffee Stout is available in both bottles and traditional kegs.
