My Strength Rating: 5.5
If you live in the Detroit Metro area make your way to Old Village Plymouth, Michigan. This little brew pub has nine different beers on tap. I made my way home with a growler full of their stout.
Appearance: Black body with brown highlights. Barely any head due to the low carbonation.
Aroma: Chocolate and coffee.
Flavors: Right off I notice the roasted grains. This roasted profile is very nice in my book. I get a bit of a dark chocolate note and the medium roast coffee taste is front and center to me. There is slight hoppy bitterness that builds some character.
Mouthfeel: Very smooth and easy to drink stout. The carbonation is very low. The body is only medium weight to me and the aftertaste is not strong.
To me: I like the overall taste profile of this stout. I wish the body weight was a little heavier and the texture a little creamier. But, I am going back for more!
To the Point: If you like a roasted style stout this is very nice. Throw in some nice roasted coffee notes and a touch of chocolate this is it.
I love the beer. But the past 3 six pack I have purchased have been over carbonated or contaminated. One or the other. Its like I shook the bottle before I opened it.
ReplyDeleteI’ll bet that the bottle beer they make is not pasteurized which means it needs to be in the cooler and not on the store shelves.
