Coffee Cream Ale Extract Beer Kit

A modest addition of coffee beans create gentle yet intriguing flavors of dark chocolate, slight roast and a hint of caramel, all without adding the characteristic dark coffee color.
Here at Northern Brewer we are coffee fanatics (we always have cold press on nitro in our break area) and we also love beer. Yes, we know its been done before, but we firmly believe that coffee has a place in an otherwise humble Cream Ale. A modest addition of coffee beans create gentle yet intriguing flavors of dark chocolate, slight roast and a hint of caramel, all without adding the characteristic dark coffee color. Traditional base malts help to create a smooth mouthfeel, and is superbly balanced with just enough hop bitterness and flavor to achieve beer harmony. Normally reserved for stouts and porters, coffee adds a delicious and unexpected twist to this unorthodox Cream Ale recipe. Truly, this is a paradox waiting to be brewed.
