Chester's Coffee Stout

Chester's Fresh Dark Brew is a non-alcoholic dark ale brewed by Go Brewing in Naperville, Illinois. Dark ruby in color, it’s a cozy, malt-forward beer crafted for cold nights, layering in smooth coffee character, a silky body, and a sweet chocolate finish—all while staying under 0.5% ABV. It’s also our Beer of the Month.

It’s a seasonal dark ale brewed with specialty coffee, known for its rich malt depth, approachable roastiness, and winter-ready comfort.

We brew it with water, barley, oats, hops, lactose, yeast, and Inductus’ smooth medium coffee blend. These ingredients create a round, silky body with mild citrus acidity, chocolate sweetness, and a clean, roasty finish.

Expect a smooth, balanced dark ale with flavors of roasted coffee, cocoa, caramelized sugars, and toasted grain. The Inductus medium roast adds mild citrus acidity and a silky mouthfeel, while lactose brings gentle sweetness. Roasty, rich, clean, and cozy, it has just enough depth to keep you coming back for more.

We use Go Brewing’s proprietary brewing process to keep it naturally under 0.5% ABV—no dealcoholization or dilution—preserving the beer’s body, roast character, and layered malt profile.
