Captain's Compass Recipe

1 pint stout (dark beer is an alternative)
2 shot espresso (strong coffee is an alternative)

History

This beer cocktail originated on a whim to pour leftover coffee from a drip or percolated brew (often burned or very heavy) into a stout as "waste prevention" or "upcycling" option. The name is an homage to British/Irish stout culture and maritime/nautical lore. It was submitted and accepted to the internet cocktail database, Kindred Cocktails, in 2024.^[1]
