Firestone Walker Cinnamon Dolce Nitro Stout

Firestone Walker Cinnamon Dolce Nitro Stout. Cinnamon and Vanilla Spiced Nitro Stout.

6 % ABV, 33 IBU.

Firestone Walker Brewing, Paso Robles, CA. 


Thoroughly black, completely opaque, cocoa-tinged ring of foam resting above, 

In the nose: Big cinnamon, more sweet than heat. Vanilla comes up right behind it. Soft cocoa notes off in the distance. 

In the mouth: Comes on sweet and spicy. Cinnamon is more delicate on the palate this time, vanilla swims in and keeps it sweet. Chocolate malt flavors hold down the fort just before. Medium bodied, well-balanced, and tasty. I can see this going well with rich desserts. Cakes. Over ice cream. Mmm, I'm getting hungry now...

We reimagined our nitro milk stout into something entirely new and seasonal. Conditioned on whole Madagascar vanilla beans and cinnamon sticks, for a rich profile reminiscent of a cinnamon dolce latte.
