Notes

Inspired by RedHook and Starbuck's DoubleBlack Stout. Next time, I plan to use this interesting coffee concentrate I ran into at my local gourmet grocery -- it's in liquid form, the idea being you just add a spoonful to hot water to make coffee. I think it'll work better than the ground coffee.
