Venn Breakfast Stout. Batch #112. 6.6% ABV. 25 IBU. Venn Brewing, Minneapolis, MN.Thick. Impenetrable Darkness. Solid blackitude. Sizable cocoa-tinged head. Looking good.
In the nose: Coffee hits first, rich and vastly fulfilling. Earthy, dirty, malty, espresso-licious.
In the mouth: Mmm. Mm, M. Deep, dark, malty. Chocolate and coffee. Yum-alicious. Just enough bitterness up front to stave off the sweet. And plenty of sweet, in just the right amount. A touch hot, a little alcohol burn. Mostly, the coffee and cocoa malt flavors keep it going. Smooth and delicious. Tasty and satisfying. I'll be back for more.
Actual coffee, actual chocolate, actual awesome. An American-style stout infused with coffee & chocolate. The return of Batch #18!
Malts: Maris Otter, Munich, Roasted Barley, Caramel 80, Chocolate
Hops: Warrior (United States)
Yeast: American Ale
And: Coffee, Chocolate, Lactose, Vanilla
