Coffee Stout - Great Lakes Brewery

 

Mood: round 2, beer 2. Let's see if it does better than the Great Lakes other beers.

Where to buy: LCBO 

Price: $3.45

Beer type: Coffee Stout

Ingredients: Water, Malted Barley, Wheat, Oats, Hops, Coffee, Yeast

Region: Baysville, Ontario

%: 5.5%

ml: 473ml

Appearance: Dark, rich... like black coffee

Smell: an almost pinapple coffee stout smell.

Taste: honestly like someone dumped cold brewed black coffee into a can.  I dont get much beer flavour but there is a weird "sour" flavour ontop of the coffee, including pineapple (citrusy?).

Mouthfeel: sharp and bubbly with a hint of creamy (expected with the stout!)

Finish: finally I get a bit of a hint of beer flavour. still tastes coffee like

Overall: The best coffee stout I have had, maybe that's because Ive only tried coffee porters before and Im not a huge fan.  From my understanding of stout it's not very strong so makes sense the coffee shone through.  I liked it. No comedown/hangover either.  I was awake!  (and bad to drink at 5pm... didnt sleep well at night)

7/10 will have again if I need a coffee beer!
