Reports trace back further than the 1980s. Farmers in Walworth County described a similar upright wolf during the 1930s, seen crossing roads in moonlight. Native accounts in the region mention “bear men” that hunted between rivers and fields, often linked to burial mounds. This continuity suggests the Beast is not new, only newly noticed by modern eyes and headlights.

🐺 The Best from Bray Road

A smooth medium roast with roasted peanut, honey, and milk chocolate tones. The body is comfortably full, the acidity remains gentle, and the cup performs beautifully across pour over, drip, and press. Origin Brazil, Cerrado. Farms on the high plateau develop sweet, clean structure in rich, well drained soils. Altitude between 900 and 1,400 MASL creates balance and density. Processing is pulped natural to preserve fruit sweetness and maintain clarity. Varietals include Catuaí, Catucaí, Catigua, and Topázio for that classic Brazilian depth and cocoa warmth.

🌅 Dawn in the Cup

First sip and the flavor opens like morning light. Peanut and honey rise softly, milk chocolate rests in the middle, and the finish smooths out with quiet confidence. It lifts the spirit yet calms the pulse. Think warm bread with honey, a breeze through new leaves, and a pour that feels familiar and steady.

🛣️ The Road and the Watcher

In Elkhorn, Wisconsin, locals still talk about the figure that follows cars late at night. Broad shoulders, fur dark against the fields, eyes that reflect red in the beams. Some say wolf, some say man, all agree it watches from the edge of the light. The stories sound less like legend and more like memory. The road has its quiet rules, and those who drive it know when to keep their eyes forward.

🌕 Grounded and Alert

This roast is steady, strong, and built for awareness. A calm hand on the wheel, a sharp mind in the dark, and warmth that steadies more than it startles. Drink it when the forest feels close, or when the hour runs later than planned. Smooth, full, and sure. The kind of coffee that keeps you ready without the rush.

💫 Cryptid Spotlight 💫 Beast of Bray Road

Along the backroads of Elkhorn, headlights still catch something too tall to be a wolf and too quick to be a man. It moves with purpose, shoulders rolling under coarse fur, eyes catching the light like metal in flame. Farmers whisper before sunrise, and patrol cars linger longer on Bray Road than they admit. Everyone has heard a story, but few stay after dark to prove it wrong.

Smooth and easy to drink with a warm chocolate and peanut profile that works any time of day. The finish is clean and steady, and it brews consistently no matter how I make it. A reliable medium roast with great balance.

I live not far from Wisconsin, so the Bray Road theme caught my attention. The coffee itself is excellent. Clean, mellow, and really easy to drink. Perfect for slow mornings.

This roast has a gentle sweetness that I really enjoy. It tastes like warm chocolate with a little nutty tone in the background. Great with cream, great without it. I could drink this all day.

I was surprised by how rich this medium roast tastes. It has a soft chocolate feel with a touch of honey that makes it really enjoyable. A friend tried it at my house and immediately asked for the name so she could order it too.
