Session coffee stout

Bottled with coffee split three ways - Counter Culture (don't know which... berry and acid forward) vs Chromatic Keynote Honey (a bit less acidity, more cocoa and honey) vs Whole Foods "Islander" blend (most "coffee" flavor)
-

Smallish stout as a canvas for cold brew coffee split batch.
