I bottled my espresso stout this past weekend and it is shaping up to be a really nice beer. I am calling it Maui Madness, as the coffee beans are from my wife and my anniversary trip to Hawaii. The stout has a nice coffee flavor and well rounded bitterness from the unmalted barley. The coffee should be prevalent, as there are 10 shots of espresso that were added to the secondary fermenter. It almost has a dark chocolate flavor that I hope will carry over to the finished beer. I will try to take a picture of a glass of it, once it is ready, and post it. The color was really nice and I hope the head carries some of the rich brown of the beer.
It should be ready in about two to three weeks . . . I can't wait!
