This year’s System of a Stout used a dark portola coffee roast which dominates in a massive roasty way that leans closer to the brandy tovarish end of the spectrum in an awesome JBM speedway style execution. The mouthfeel is a touch more substantial as well with less of the oak and brandy as a result but if you really want those Nana notes, let it warm to 60 and bust out the MAC makeup because this keeps it glamour.

In sum, fantastic beer that I am thankful has been relatively slept on despite its ultra legit reviews. More fancy sauce: for me.

Armenian coffee and Armenian brandy oak all up in a clean attenuated stout. You dealing a man’s hand and play them cards.
