Sullivan’s Black Forest Brew Haus & Grill
Frankenmuth, Michigan, USA
5.2% abv
31 IBU’s
$4 a pint
$10 growler refill
They refilled my 32 oz growler for 5 bucks on the Angry
Orphan
I am on my way to Traverse City Michigan and I stopped by
the town of Frankenmuth to review a few beers at the two local breweries, then
go to the Bavarian Inn to see Marty Viers and enjoy his music and spend the
night.
I am sitting here at the Black Forest Brew Haus while the
wife is running the dogs back to the motel room to feed them. I enjoyed the X-Day IPA, Pirate’s Porter and
now I am ready to try this Oatmeal Stout.
I filled my 32 oz growler up with the Angry Orphan; bought a pizza to go
and headed back to the motel.
At the motel I am using their fine hotel room
glassware.
Appearance: poured a black body with a thin dark tan head
that disappeared before I could blink.
Aroma: I could smell the mild coffee and roasted grains as I
poured the stout into the glass. Mild
bouquet overall.
Flavors: this reminds me of Pirate’s Porter with half the
flavor (don’t worry Pirate’s Porter had tons of coffee and burnt grains to
spare) and a touch of carbonation is added.
Mild coffee, roasted grains, rich malt, 90% dark chocolate like dry
bitter bite
Mouthfeel: soft carbonation, light fizzy feel on the tongue,
no syrupy feel, moderate bitter note (31 IBU), dry feel on the mid and finish, long
lasting dark roasted grains linger on the palate
To the Point: I did not ask them but, this seems like a Dry
Irish Stout with a low abv, medium body, thin rather than syrupy feel. A tasty
stout – I like some of their other stouts (from the past) better. I like the Porter of course and they always
have that on tap.
I am looking forward to stopping by Sullivan’s in the future
for another round of tasty brews.
