St John Coffee Stout

Anyone have this? Wife brought back a few bottles from St John USVI today and I laughed when I read it's made in Maine

9% looks pretty good. They say it's distributed in New England but I've never seen it.

It is decent. Had it down there last summer. Not really a summer beer though. Real question is why didn't you go too? Place is ridiculous.

No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.

Decent beer but not outstanding. Nice balance of flavors. Drinkable for a big beer. Would like more viscosity though and longer lasting depth of flavor.

Worth a try but I don't know how far I'd go to get it.

Yes, one of the hallmarks of a great beer.

Not sure who brews it, their website mentioned they used Shipyard in the past.

Definitely isn't cistern or desalination water from the island. That would be nasty.
