This beer is a Brown Ale on the darker side, using Willamette hops, sweet orange peel, cinnamon and ground up paradise seeds. You end up with a nice malty and low hop winter ale. This is not big and sweet stick to the roof of you mouth, its nice and dry where you get all the parts come together.

The Demon King of Friday is our genie that we managed to get back into the bottle. Initially, we had quite a bit of Minotaur (blackberry sour stout aged in bourbon and wine casks) that didn’t take to bottle conditioning, so we brewed a complimentary beer and blended the beer from the bottles with the new brew in LaPhroaig barrel.

Blended with cold brewed coffee from Maniac Coffee Roasting, this version of Kitten Mittens is sassy, fun, and unabashedly delicious. The Mexican coffee roast that was used boasts notes of raisin, cinnamon, and toasted nuts, which blends beautifully with the complex malt profile of Kitten Mittens. A warming dark ale, Coffee Kitten Mittens will keep you company on the darkest and chilliest of winter nights.
