Baker's Chocolate, Black Cherry, Sweet Pipe Tobacco
This medium-dark roast coffee features a deep chocolate aroma and velvety body complemented by juicy acidity. Dark chocolate is prominent in the cup, with a syrupy black cherry sweetness and a pleasant finish of pipe tobacco.
Our Surly Activist blend has a bold heart and rich character. A medium roast and a dark roast combine to create this blend, making it a unique member of our lineup.
John Brown is available on tap every day at our cafes!
In the mid-1800s, famed abolitionist John Brown took direct, and often dramatic, action to free enslaved people in the States. Arrested for treason and sentenced to death, Brown's dignified bearing in prison and at his trial moved many spectators. Ralph Waldo Emerson said that Brown's death would "make the gallows as glorious as the cross." Today he is depicted in a massive mural in Topeka's State Capitol.
