Flying Dog Imperial Coffee Stout made with Black Dog Coffee

[Eric]

If you have been a part of the mailing list at Black Dog Coffee then you know that Flying Dog has used their coffee is draft batches earlier this year.

Now it's about to be finally bottled in a limited run, see the news here: http://beernews.org/2010/12/flying-dog-coffee-stout-coming-soon

Congrats Brian! Would love to try some!

Sucks that it's only available in that area though.

Jason, I'm sure I'll be able to get you some....for a price.

So long as you don't ask me to register Democrat, I can probably make it happen. :eyebrow:

Thanks Eric, I will have to look it up at my local beer depot.

 

[Eddy]

Don't leave me out on the beer run gentlemen

 

[Greg]

Let me call a few buddies tomorrow to find out where it's going.

It should be available locally, hell, I work only a few miles from the brewery.

 

[Jwrussell]

You da man, as usual. :grin:

 

[Eddy]

Agreed :agreeclen

Hopefully I was included in the 'hookup' or else I end up looking like an ass

 

[AR..]

Can't believe I just found out about this, pretty cool stuff. Maybe Eric should commission a BOTL beer next?

 

[Black Dog]

Thanks, Eric! I will make sure you get some!
The folks at Flying Dog are great but sometimes it's hard to get accurate info out of them. This is actually the third run, the first two being draft (even though they told me the second would be bottled). I've also been told by them that this was going to be a regular seasonal offering in the Wild Dog line, that it would be bottled in 750ml bottles and be available in 49 states. The label pretty clearly says 12oz, though so who knows. Cool by me, just so they keep brewing it!

WOW Brian, good for you. Hope this gets you further along.....

Copied for those that do not want to click.

(Frederick, MD) – Flying Dog Brewery is set to release the latest in its Wild Dog Series.


It sounds as though Flying Dog Coffee Stout may hit stores by year’s end. Per Brewmaster, Matt Brophy, on Twitter this past Tuesday: “Black Dog Coffee custom roast & grind added to our Imperial Coffee Stout today. Going into 12oz bottles this year! Packaging next week.”

This will be the second batch, the first having been available only on draft. As for bottles, the brewery is calling this a one-off release on one of its event pages so this is a “get it while you can” release. A brewery rep confirmed that this would be limited to the mid-Atlantic area (not sure exactly what states). Don’t expect to find it in New England or other regions where Flying Dog is sold.

Label copy: “Ditch the yuppies with their overpriced lattes and pour yourself a pint of our robust coffee stout. Brewed with a secret roast from The Black Dog Coffee Company, it’s the perfect balance of nutty coffee flavors and chocolate malt notes. Perfect morning, noon and night, this stout’s velvety taste will make it hard to ever return to your favorite acne-prone barista. (He’ll live).”

Stats: 8.9% ABV, 40 IBU, 12 oz. bottles (4pk I believe)

I'll see if i can find it around me. I don't know how far away from Flying Dog you need to be to not expect to find it.
