Arbeiter Vanilla Mocha Stout

Arbeiter Vanilla Mocha Stout.

5.4 % ABV, 20 IBU, Arbeiter Brewing, Minneapolis, MN. 

Full ebony appearance. Large and long-lasting cocoa-tinged head. Complete opacity. 

In the nose: Coffee hits first, then vanilla, cocoa astride. Earthy, rich and sweet. 

In the mouth: Starts off bittersweet, lightly hoppy, then it all turns over to the malt and the flavors. Vanilla takes a backseat to the coffee. Perfectly balanced, never too sweet, just enough of everything. Good ol' easy-drinking, medium bodied, full flavored coffee stout. 

Stout w/Vanilla, Chocolate, & Coffee

Experiencing this beer is like walking into your favorite indie coffee shop. It’s chocolately with the perfect balance of Peace Coffee’s Birchwood Blend and makes for a perfect coffee stout.

The aroma is complex for a relatively simple beer. Initially, you’ll smell chocolate-covered espresso beans but the more it warms up you even start getting woody and tobacco aromas. 

If you’re a stout or coffee drinker, you’re going to love this beer. And on a cooler, rainy spring day like today…it’s going to be perfect.

Note: this beer was originally released in the spring.
