Brewers' Cut No. 18 Café de Olla Porter

The base porter recipe for our popular seasonal Coffee Porter is a favorite at the brewery. During the run of this seasonal we take the opportunity to experiment in casks with other ingredients to create interesting new beers, and Café de Olla Porter was born from these experiments. Café de olla is a traditional way to prepare coffee in Mexico that has found its way to coffee shops and restaurant menus all over Texas. The distinct flavor of Café de olla is derived from cinnamon, spices, and piloncillo sugar. The maltiness of our porter provides the subtle sweetness usually imparted by the café's piloncillo, while the cinnamon and other spices serve as an appropriate foil to the chocolate notes of the beer. The result? a more flavorful interpretation of a coffee porter, inspired by the south-of-the-border culinary influence that permeates our great state. Show Less
