Nothing beyond coffee, implied by the brewery's style name, is published. No roaster, hops, malts or yeast are named on the tap list, the beer lineup page or the awards page.
As category context only, the Brewers Association guideline for Coffee Beer says these beers "incorporate coffee in any form," with coffee character as the defining attribute in harmony with the underlying beer; color, ABV and IBU vary with the underlying style. A coffee brown ale at 4.2% sits within that open definition.

Brewery Context
Kulshan Brewing Co. is in Bellingham, WA. Brewery type in Open Brewery DB: Microbrewery.
Kulshan has no individual beer pages, and Cuppa Joe is absent from its beer lineup page; the on tap page is the beer url.
The tap list line ends "4.2%-" with a trailing separator; 4.2% is read as the ABV.
The brewery's awards page lists a 2023 GABF Gold for Cuppa Joe Coffee Brown Ale and does not yet list 2026 results.
The Toast online ordering page for the Roosevelt taproom returned HTTP 403, and searches found no Untappd listing.
Researched 2026-10-13.
Field pass 2026-10-13: IBU and hop focused searches found brewery award coverage and activity without specifications. A BeerMenus focused search supplied no matching new specification source; Short's Cup A Joe is unrelated.
Deep dive pass 2026-10-14: the tap list lists it as a nitro pour at 4.2%; the beer lineup page has no further detail.
Brewery site scrape 2026-10-14: found nothing new; 6 pages tried (robots.txt obeyed, one request every few seconds per host).
Second deep dive pass 2026-10-14 (brewery tap list, Washington press search): found nothing new; 6 pages tried. Tap list re-read shows only 'Nitro: Cuppa Joe Coffee Brown Ale 4.2%-' with no roaster, ingredients or tasting notes. Kiro7 confirms an earlier GABF gold but gives no year or specs. Nothing new for any empty field.
