Cocktail Base

2 oz bourbon3 oz Eureka Heights MINI BOSS stout or porter (or small dark beer)1/2 oz coffee liqueur (e.g., Kahlúa)1/2 oz demerara or brown sugar simple syrup1/2 oz freshly brewed espresso (cooled) or strong cold brew

Citrus & Bitters

1 piece fresh orange peel (for garnish and oil)2 dashes Angostura bitters

Optional Finishes

1 piece large ice cube(s)1/4 tsp chocolate shavings or cocoa powder (for dusting)

Method

Prepare Glass & Garnish

Chill glass

Place an old-fashioned (rocks) glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill it with ice water to chill while you prepare the cocktail.

Prepare orange peel

Using a vegetable peeler or paring knife, cut a 1½–2 inch wide strip of orange peel, avoiding too much pith. Set aside for express oil and garnish.

Build the Cocktail

In a mixing glass or shaker without ice, add the bourbon, coffee liqueur, demerara simple syrup, cooled espresso (or cold brew), and two dashes of Angostura bitters. Stir gently to combine.

Add ice to the mixing glass until it is about 2/3 full and stir for 15–20 seconds until well chilled and slightly diluted. If you prefer a slightly fizzy finish, skip the stirring step and lightly roll with ice just to chill.

Discard ice or water from your chilled old-fashioned glass. Place a single large ice cube in the glass (optional). Strain the chilled bourbon mixture over the ice cube.

Top with Beer and Finish

Slowly pour the Eureka Heights MINI BOSS stout or porter (or chosen dark beer) down the back of a bar spoon held just above the cocktail surface so the beer layers gently on top and creates a foamy head. Pour gently to avoid excessive mixing; the goal is integration with a distinct dark foam cap.

Express the orange peel over the cocktail by holding it about 2–3 inches above the glass and giving it a firm twist so oils spray onto the foam. Rub the peel around the glass rim and drop it into the drink as a garnish.

If desired, very lightly dust the foam with chocolate shavings or a pinch (about 1/4 tsp) of cocoa powder for aroma and an extra dessert-like note.

Serve

Serve immediately while the beer head is fresh. Sip slowly to enjoy the layered flavors: bourbon warmth, coffee complexity, demerara sweetness, and the roastiness of the stout.
