A Note on This Beer
One taste of Café Illuminé Sweet Golden Stout will crush your candy fix, coffee fix, and booze fix all at once.
From the beer candy masters that brought us Spoonful of Sugar, Illuminated Brew Works hits us with this entirely new crave-worthy sweet treat you didn’t know could exist. It sips just like coffee toffee dusted with a cinnamon sugar flourish and a 10% ABV buzz.
The addition of coffee, Indonesian vanilla, and Vietnamese cinnamon builds a whirling dervish of smooth java spiced flavors. The Illuminated flavor gurus bend the “Stout rules” to make a creamy, sweet coffee beer that’s 100% free of roasted malts. This means it gleams pure 24k gold from the glass and serves up a mouthfeel rich with candied honey-caramels. Kind of like a churro walked into a coffeeshop...
Just launched for the first time at Chicago’s Uppers and Downers Festival of Coffee Beers, Café Illuminé offers a sipping experience far beyond that syrup-doused Frappuccino from Starbucks. With its naughty dose of booze and layers of cinnamon depth, it’s pure coffee beer candy in a bottle.
