Nectar Ales Black Xantus

(pronounced Zantis) is truly a unique bird.  An Imperial Stout aged in American oak barrels, infused with fresh organic/ fair-trade coffee from our local coffee roaster, Jobella Coffee Roasters.  This special, limited release beer bursts with bourbon and espresso aromas leading into chocolate and black cherry flavor.  It’s 11% ABV is softened by time in barrels which also contributes to the beer’s appeal.  We are very proud of this new addition to the Nectar Ales family.
