Allen's Coffee Brandy

Allen's Coffee Brandy is a coffee flavoured liqueur popular in the American state of Maine. It is often called "the champagne of Maine."

Allen's Coffee Brandy is prepared and bottled by Allen's Ltd. in Somerville, Massachusetts. The beverage is 60 proof and available in a half a dozen sizes in state agency liquor stores.

Allen's Coffee Brandy is normally consumed in a mixture of one part brandy to two parts milk. This concoction is generally called a "Sombrero," and sometimes pejoratively "Fat Ass in a Glass."

So much so that it has been labeled as "an epidemic" to some, and "the champagne of Maine" to others.
