Project Geisha (09/2020)

Project Geisha is another extremely special beer to us made with our friends from Mostra Coffee . We took the last remaining barrel of the base stout that eventually became Swiss Bliss and allowed it to further mature for a total time of more than 18 months to meld and develop with oak, char, and its former Buffalo Trace occupant. We added just one thing: Mostra Bambito Estate Geisha Coffee, an extremely rare coffee from Bambito Estate in Panama. Coveted for its flavor, it can only be grown at high altitudes with certain soil profiles so only a small amount is produced at each harvest. It’s known for its intense floral aroma as well as along with flavors of milk chocolate, marzipan, lychee, Meyer lemon and blackberries.

Project Geisha pours pitch black with a rich tan head. It features bright and clean notes of creamy chopped bakers chocolate, caramel, Cadbury Crème egg filled with bourbon, oak, young blackberry, and plum skin. Deep layered flavors of rich brownie, full bodied cold brew coffee, American oak integrate into a silky and luxurious mouthfeel that are balanced by bright notes of lemon, blackberry jam, and rollercoaster of flavor ends with lovely barrel heat balanced by some port-like sweetness.
