Short’s Brew Cup A Joe: Review

Short’s Brew Cup A Joe – Coffee Crème Stout
Stout brewed with coffee and milk sugar

8 % abv
30 IBU
12 oz bottle
shortsbrewing.com
My Strength Rating: 8.5

Short’s Brewing Company
Elk Rapids, Michigan, USA

Appearance: Black as night body with a fine bubbly, dark tan, ½ finger head.  Very little carbonation here it looks like.  That little foamy head sure leaves plenty of lacing on the glass. 

Aroma: What else coffee and a big roasted malty sweetness

Flavors: Creamy semi-sweet chocolate coffee taste.  If you drink weak coffee in the morning don’t even think about drinking this.  This is no girly-man coffee.  Rich and deep roasted grains and malts mix with some dark chocolate and coffee bitterness.  To me this is very pleasing to drink. 

Mouthfeel: yes, very low carbonation.  The texture is smooth and somewhat creamy.

This stout is going to be used in my March Matching Cigar Review in the month of March.  See CigarPostings for the competition.
