6.6 % ABV. 25 IBU.
Venn Brewing, Minneapolis, MN.
I had this one at my last visit to Venn a few weeks back, but did not choose to take a crowler home. Luckily, they're distributing to one of the liquor stores in my neighborhood, so I didn't have to make another visit to the brewery to get this one. But I will be back, soon.
Crystal clear, amber hued, slim white head.
In the nose: Chocolate and vanilla hit first---mmm!, nice!--with coffee flickering behind. Sweet, slightly bitter. Again: mmm!
In the mouth: Sweet cocoa meets earthy coffee notes taking over the palate. Moderate hopping, clean, lean malt background. Vanilla rises up. Nothing but delicious.
The coffee golden ale is not new, but coffee, chocolate and vanilla golden ale? Mmm, mm, mm. This one has the goods
Actual coffee, actual chocolate, actual awesome. A golden ale infused with coffee, chocolate, & vanilla. Not vegan! Previously named "White Stout".
Malts: Domestic Pale, Flaked Oats, Caramel 20
Hops: Warrior, Willamette (United States)
Yeast: American Ale
And: Coffee, Chocolate, Vanilla, Lactose
It's like déjá brew all over again. Our golden ale looks like a light bodied patio pounder, but it drinks like a breakfast stout. Because it is one. Heavily infused with coffee, chocolate and vanilla, this seasonal sipper is a caffeine fix, sugar rush and beer buzz all rolled into one.
