Description

Coffee Burnside by Foundation Brewing is a dark beer that artfully melds the rich depths of stout with the invigorating essence of coffee. Hailing from Maine, this stout boasts a balanced 5.4% ABV, presenting a welcoming yet bold profile that is inviting to both casual drinkers and connoisseurs of robust flavors. With an IBU of 30, it offers a gentle bitterness that complements the inherent roasted malt character, creating a harmonious backdrop for the infusion of coffee notes. The flavor journey of Coffee Burnside is marked by its distinctive coffee-forward aroma, reminiscent of freshly roasted beans. Upon tasting, expect a smooth and velvety mouthfeel that delivers layers of cocoa, complemented by the subtle sweetness of the malt. The coffee infusion brings forth a roasted depth, balancing the sweetness with a slight bitterness that lingers pleasantly on the palate. Serve Coffee Burnside at a slightly cooler temperature of around 45 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit to allow its flavors to fully develop. The nuances of coffee and roasted barley are best appreciated when poured into a tulip or snifter glass, which concentrates the aromas and encourages a slow savoring of each sip. This stout pairs wonderfully with rich, hearty dishes. Consider serving it alongside grilled meats, perhaps a well-seasoned steak or a barbecue pork dish, allowing the beer's robust character to cut through the richness. For a sweeter pairing, try it with a dark chocolate dessert, where the beer's coffee and cocoa notes will resonate beautifully. Coffee Burnside offers a compelling experience for those who appreciate the intersection of coffee and craft beer, making it a distinctive choice for a refined palate.

  • Neil G. ★★★★☆

    goes down easier than I expected, honestly. Sipped while catching up on emails and lost track of how fast the glass emptied. Good but I'd like it colder next time.

    Nice one for a work-from-home evening. Try popping the can in the freezer for 10 minutes before pouring if you want it extra cold.

  • Jess ★★★★☆

    One can lasted about two innings, so the four pack barely made it through the game. Would buy again, though, solid coffee stout for chill nights.

    Response from CBC Liquors, Westford

    Glad you enjoyed the Coffee Burnside. If you want it to last a bit longer, give Rising Tide's ISM Stout a shot next time.

  • Michelle H. ★★★★★

    Not my first coffee stout but this one from Foundation is way smoother than Left Hand. Big coffee flavor, no harsh aftertaste. Would go back for more next time.
