Ingredients

Style Context

As category context only, the Brewers Association guideline Coffee Beer entry directs coffee stouts and porters to the Coffee Stout or Porter category and describes coffee beers as beers that "incorporate coffee in any form." The dedicated Coffee Stout or Porter entry was not in the portion of the guideline page that could be read, so no ranges are compared here.

Research Notes

• The brewery has no individual beer pages; its beer menu page is the beer url and gives style and description but no ABV or IBU.
• ABV comes only from BeerMenus; the calorie figure is a BeerMenus listing value.
• The brewery menu spells "chocolately" and BeerMenus spells "chocolatey"; the brewery spelling is quoted.
• No 2026 medal announcement from the brewery was found.
• Researched 2026-10-13.
• Field pass 2026-10-13: The matching Turbo listing publishes 15 IBU and names no hop varieties.
• Deep dive pass 2026-10-14: the brewery beer page names the coffee roaster (Modest Coffee) but no hops, malts or yeast.
• Brewery site scrape 2026-10-14: found nothing new; 5 pages tried (robots.txt obeyed, one request every few seconds per host).
• Second deep dive pass 2026-10-14 (brewery beer menu page, brewer podcast episode listing, BeerMenus brewery page): found nothing new; 4 pages tried. Brewery page names only craft brewed Modest Coffee, no malts, hops or yeast. The April 2026 Crafty Brewers podcast with head brewer Alex Makowski has a chapter titled 'Crafting the Perfect Coffee Porter' and mentions cold extraction coffee and flaked oats as topics, but the listing does not tie either to Turbo, so nothing is recorded; the full audio was not available to read.
