Ozark Beer Company teamed up with the acclaimed Onyx Coffee Lab for this collaboration, and the result may be the best coffee stout brewed in the American South.

Appearance
Pours a deep, opaque black with a creamy tan head. Dark, dense, and inviting.
Aroma
Like walking into a specialty coffee shop — fresh-ground dark roast, dark chocolate, and a ribbon of vanilla waft from the glass. Rich and intoxicating.
Taste
Bold roasted coffee arrives first, followed closely by bittersweet dark chocolate and a hint of molasses. The Onyx Coffee Lab connection is unmistakable — this isn’t generic coffee flavor, it’s the real thing. Finishes long and roasty with a pleasant bitterness.
Mouthfeel
Full-bodied and creamy, with moderate carbonation that lets every flavor unfold slowly.
Bottom Line
A collaboration beer that lives up to its hype. If you love coffee and you love stout, this is as good as it gets. Find it, hoard it, share it sparingly.
