Read from the label art by Hop Grail. Fields checked against the approved label. How we get this data

The artwork

A photographic image of a glass of dark stout with foam head sits at center, flanked by a tilted stack of bound books in warm tones, all set against a rich brown swirled background with ornamental corner flourishes. The composition is framed by a blue-outlined rectangular border with decorative corner elements. The beer name appears in large white block letters for "COFFEE" and bright blue script for "BREAK", positioned over the lower portion of the photograph.

From the label

“This big-bodied stout was brewed with a softer, more approachable profile. Rich chocolate notes marry harmoniously with Friedrich's locally roasted cold brew blend. The addition of Ugandan vanilla beans adds a creamy sweetness that really makes this a decadent delight. The emails, the yard, the laundry, and the dishes? They all can wait. Here's your reminder to occasionally press pause, take a moment for yourself, and enjoy the delicious side of life. So go ahead, pour a glass, fall into your favorite chair, and savor your well-earned Coffee Break. This series employs a variety of cooperage to elevate the spirit of our beer, proving that good things come together, for those who wait.”
