Year of New Beer: Americano Stout, Stone Brewing (CA)

Written By: Dion on 05/10/2016

Bold espresso notes blend with bitter cocoa powder and wisps of smoke on the nose. The tongue gets a huge dose of roasted bean and charred malt. Burnt sugars and a light hop bitterness join the chocolate, adding to the robust flavor profile. Not crazy about this at first, but with warmth, a little more complexity develops and this turns the corner to become a much more enjoyable beer.
