BREW REVUE: Wolaver's Alta Gracia Coffee Porter

The one-two of coffee and beer couldn�t be more perfect, and Wolaver�s Alta Gracia Coffee Porter takes this unity to an organic, fair-trade (and granola-tastic) level. The beer earns its name from Alta Gracia farm in the Dominican Republic, a fair-trade outlet that produces the beans used during brewing. In addition to the coffee, vanilla bean (also organic) shifts this porter over to the sweeter side, with a massive malty finish derived from a combination of roasted barely and chocolate malts. Serve Alta Gracia Porter with chocolate chip pancakes for a delicious breakfast treat, or pair it with something rich and savory like a curry or stew.

Percy Street BBQ had a keg of this beautiful brew a few weeks back.  It didn't last long.  Delish.
