What does covfefe taste like? The world may never know. But the “No Collusion” Russian Imperial Coffee “Covfefe” Stout created by the Drop-In Brewing Co. is pretty darned good.

Just by reading the long-winded name for the beer, you probably figured out that it’s inspired by current events as well as a famously baffling 2017 tweet by President Trump that read, “Despite the negative press covfefe” and ended right there.

The artwork on the can gets even more political than the name. The can shows a reproduction of a much-seen graffiti artwork with Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin smoochin’ as well as the scrawled words “No more wars no more walls.”

My wife and I are fans of Drop-In’s wide variety of brews. When I heard the Middlebury brewery had a Russian Imperial Stout – especially one with the mysterious ingredient covfefe – I knew we had to try it, so we did last weekend.

“No Collusion” starts out with bold flavors of coffee, malt and alcohol that stand out on their own (the latter taste tips off the brew’s lofty 10.6-percent alcohol by volume content). On the second sip all those flavors smooth out into one super-well-balanced brew, perfect for hosting those clandestine Mar-a-Lago meetings or taking shirtless horseback rides through the Urals.

The scent of “No Collusion” is just as striking. The beer bears a rich, husky aroma, with just a whiff of political intrigue.
