Year of New Beer: Coffee Stout, Sierra Nevada Brewing (CA)

Written By: Dion on 12/01/2014

The nose opens in a manner reminiscent of a Starbucks iced coffee, with hints caramel and burnt toast. On the tongue is a rich, roasted coffee bean that gets a nice lift from an earthy hop bite mid-palate. Finishes with a nutty, slightly charred aftertaste. A much better beer than I was expecting.
