Espiritu - Catuai aged in Revolution Brewing V.S.O.D. Barrels

We are excited to be working with our friends at Revolution Brewing once again on the annual release of Cafe Deth! To celebrate this launch, we will be releasing a limited run of coffee beans that were aged in French Oak barrels that aged their VSO Deth, along with a chocolate bar made from cacao that was aged in French oak barrels that house their D.B.X.O.D. Le Tronçais.

We filled freshly dumped French Oak barrels from Revolution Brewing that still had pooling beer for the green coffee to soak up. When coffee is in its raw and unroasted state, it is porous and easily takes on the characteristics of the barrel, soaking up the moisture from the wood and imparting the profile of the beer or spirits on the coffee. We filled these barrels with a Catuai from Finca San Jeronimo Miramar in Guatemala, spending months aging until we're satisfied with the barrel character of the samples extracted. This Catuai from San Jeronimo is the same variety that we are utilizing in this year's Cafe Deth as well!

These barrel-aged beans have taken on some of the boozy, fruity notes from the wood and beer it previously held, making this a juicy, yet sweet cup to enjoy!
