Bourbon Barrel-Aged Coffee
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.

I lost my investment capital and profits trading online, they kept on requesting for extra funds before a withdrawal request can be accepted and processed, in the end, I lost all my money. All efforts to reach out to their customer support desk had declined, I found it very hard to move on. God so kind I followed a broadcast that teaches on how scammed victims can recover their fund through the help of Gavin ray a recovery specialist, I contacted his email provided for consultation, I got feedback after some hours and I was asked to provide all legal details concerning my investment, I did exactly what they instructed me to do without delay, to my greatest surprise I was able to recover my money back including my profit which my capital generated. I said I will not hold this to myself but share it to the public so that all scammed victims can get their funds back. Contact his email:gavinray78@gmail.com or whatsapp +1 352 322 2096
My name is Anderson Gate and I’m a professional photographer who invested in crypto trading and was conned of my hard-earned money by a crypto group. I lost $273,000 worth of Bitcoin to this scam. I was nearly losing my mind when I came across FIRMWALL Cyber Security, an ethical recovery company with professional white hat hackers who were able to assist me in the recovery of my crypto. I’m truly grateful for their service and I recommend their service to everyone who needs to recover their stolen crypto funds.

I feel so blessed again in my marriage after Doctor Oku brought back my husband that separated with me for a good 3 months. Even though I have mouths all over my body, it won’t be enough to thank Doctor Oku for his help in my life. My husband separated with me for 3 months and has been in pain and agony without him. So, I searched for help everywhere but nothing worked out, not until I meant Doctor Oku who I contacted online. I explained my situation to him and he promised that my husband will get back to me within 48 to 72 hours as long as my heart still beats for him. I believed in him and he prepared a spell for me and my husband called me exactly when Doctor Oku said. He pleaded and said he needs me back and now we are living happily again for the past 9 months. Everyone out there reading my article that needs help should contact him… Email: okutemple@gmail.com or whatsApp him +2347053113465
