Santa Fe Imperial Java Stout




















The Dirt
If you don't like coffee, well...wait, how did you survive college?! Anyway, this beer isn't for you. But if you do like the "other" brew (or require it), then this beer was made for you.

I think Santa Fe's Imperial Java Stout is a married couple between an iced mocha coffee and a bad ass imperial stout. In fact, it might have a bit too much of the bean to consume on a regular basis, but awesome if coffee + stout is what you're looking for. But be careful, this is definitely an imperial stout. This fact is well hidden by the coffee profile. It also has a hint of creamy on the back end, which is the stout's way of saying it's still there. Let it get too warm though and it will start to get a bit heavy going down.

Worth it?
This is under $10 for a 6-pack! That's a yes if you're scoring at home. It's actually almost too much of a deal really. They should probably do a 4-pack. Though I'm actually aging a couple right now to see how they turn out.

Also, it's worth a purchase at least once for the can's design. Look at that thing...awesome.

The Final Word
