I made this a year ago and SWMBO (the Starbucks Addict) has been after me to make it ever since. I'm not a big coffee drinker, but I thought it was awesome too - one of those beers you don't drink much of because you want to hoard it. So, I decided to brew it today.
You'd think with all those dark grains it would be too astringent, but 24 oz of espresso dumped right into the keg seems to blend nicely with it. The trick here is to use a lightly roasted coffee with little oil. Too much oil will kill the head.
