At Alma Coffee, we are all about finding new ways to take our coffee to the next level. Recently our general manager, Max Folger, had the genius idea of partnering with our local small business friends at Reformation Brewery to create a barrel-aged coffee from their newest Reformation Rye Bourbon. When we reached out to partner with them in creating this roast, they were just as excited about the prospect as we were!
Barrel-Aged coffee is a unique fusion of coffee crafting using both traditional and modern roasting practices to create a distinctive taste. The smoky and woody flavors from the barrel mixed with the balanced and smooth flavor of our coffee create something that couldn’t be produced through our normal processes. The culmination of the barrel-aged coffee process is a symphony of flavor where notes of sweetness, acidity, and bitterness harmonize to create a truly unforgettable sensory experience. Each sip reveals new depths of complexity making the coffee drinking experience exciting.
The Process
We headed over to visit our friends at Reformation Brewery to pick up one of their bourbon barrels to use for the barrel-aged coffee. From there, we brought it to the roastery and prepped everything to begin the process (RIP to my white cardigan that now has rust stains from trying to carry the barrel). We then poured in a bag of our green beans from our farms into the barrel and… we waited. We waited for what seemed like forever (it was only a 8 days in reality). Each day, we rolled the barrel to ensure every bean was fully exposed to those delicious whiskey aromas.
The best part of the process? Tasting! One of the most important aspects of creating a new roast is trying the coffee to make sure it’s reaching a flavor profile that finds the balance between the coffee and whiskey flavor. You don’t want the coffee to be too boozy, but you also don’t want the flavor to be so subtle that you miss it completely. Our team of expert roasters worked tirelessly to achieve the final product that we are sure you'll enjoy!
The Result
Once roasted, the flavors of vanilla, burnt sugar, and oak from the Reformation Brewery Bourbon mixed with the flavor of our coffee created the perfect blend of smoky and sweet. This roast is the perfect way to spice up your morning cup of coffee. We carefully roasted this coffee to a medium-dark level to make sure the flavor of the whiskey stayed intact and prominent within the flavor of the coffee when brewed. Whether you like your coffee black, creamy, or somewhere in between, there's no denying the deliciousness of this barrel-aged coffee.
Later in the evening, pour yourself a glass of Reformation’s Bourbon. Get a little taste of bourbon in the morning and the full flavor in the evening. We’ve got a couple of bourbon fans here in the roastery, and let me tell you, the reviews could not be more glowing. “As someone who loves a great whiskey, this coffee is the real deal. I am so excited to partner with Reformation and use the barrels from their recently released Rye Bourbon for this project. I really feel like we nailed it with this roast and cant wait for everyone to try it out,” said Max Folger.

My husband had the habit of always texting and fixing dates with his old friends including his exes. I never thought there was a problem with such until he became emotionally withdrawn from me and started acting abnormal towards me and my daughter. At this point I knew I needed help urgently because I never wanted to loose him. Dr Isikolo came to my rescue and the problem was fixed. One my husband’s ex vowed to ensure she takes him from him and started manipulating him to abandon me and my daughter which would have eventually happened if Dr Isikolo didn’t stepped in to help me. Just after 48 hours after fixing the problem, everything became amazing between me and my husband and now he has apologized for everything and we are good again. Contact Dr Isikolo and believe he will surely fix that problem for you. His website (https://isikolo-temple.com) or Whatsapp via: +2348133261196
The alarming growth of cryptocurrency investment scams these days is truly distressing. I never believed I would become of the victims, but I was proven wrong. It’s true that you can’t judge a book by its cover, as the fraudulent company I invested in appeared legitimate. They even had a group chat where people shared testimonies of quick profits after investing. This gave me a false sense of security and made me believe I could easily earn without much effort and stress. After my first cryptocurrency investment; An account manager was assigned to handle my trades and notify me when it was time to withdraw. Initially, I invested smaller amounts $5,000 USD and successfully withdrew my profits. Feeling comfortable, I even voluntarily testified in the Telegram group. However, things took a turn when the manager advised me to increase my investment for a promotional offer. From that point, I faced difficulties with withdrawals after increasing my investment. The manager acted concerned, making it seem like he was not involved, and Advised me to go along with the fees I was asked to pay for me to regain access to withdrawals. I later discovered the truth after working with Century Web Recovery. They successfully recovered my entire crypto investment and my profits from these scammers after they’ve caused me a lot of damages mentally. If you need assistance, contacting Century Web Recovery on email or Website is the best decision to recovering back your funds.
