Notes

A recipe created with inspiration from other golden/blonde stouts. At the heart of this lightly colored stout lies an inviting coffee flavor, much like the black hole at the center of a bright quasar.

The cofffee beans are added after primary fermentation is complete. They should be added immediately after home roasting is finished, if possible, and left to float on top of the secondary vessel as whole beans. Leaving as whole beans imparts very little, if any, color. If you try different hops or roasts of coffee and have a good result, please leave a comment to share!
