New Release: Left Hand Bittersweet Imperial Coffee Stout
Left Hand Bittersweet Imperial Coffee Milk Stout has joined the Longmont, Colorado brewery’s lineup.

Left Hand Fade to Black, the original, and the medal winner

Brewed for the darkness, Left Hand’s seasonal stands out from the holiday fare, pouring deep black with notes of licorice, espresso bean, and molasses. The brewing team hand-smokes malt, smoking 2550kg over several weeks with pimento wood from Jamaica.

Left Hand De’Nile Coffee Ale, For Old Chicago
Left Hand Brewing (Longmont, CO) currently has a coffee ale in select Old Chicago Restaurants across the United States. The beer debuted in early February.

The result is a burnished, copper-colored brew with a white head that is the perfect equilibrium of maple, chocolate and coffee with a medium mouthfeel and a citrus aroma from Caliente and Amarillo hops.
