Espressway, Two Roads Brewing Co.
Description 

In a process unique to Two Roads, we mixed a locally-roasted Ethiopian/Sumatra blend of beans with a rich oatmeal stout under pressure (like espresso but without the steam) using our German-built “Brewnik” device. The mixture is steeped for several days resulting in a true, cold-brewed coffee stout.

It's also only 4% ABV, has 2.9G of carbs and is gluten-reduced. Now, you can have both the features and the benefits.
