Batch 2, bottled 5-20-13, 3.4% ABV. Lowest ABV stout on the list?
A: Pours a completely cloudy pale golden orange. Almost exactly like a witbier. Big fluffy white head. Head fades away slowly, with just the lightest specks of lacing left behind. Good head retention.
S: Coffee beans and oatmeal. Wheaty, like a witbier. Unique is an understatement.
T: Coffee beans, wheat and oatmeal. It's like a coffee oatmeal witbier. A breakfast witbier? A little caramel in the middle, briefly. Sharp bitterness in the aftertaste from the coffee and maybe some hops? Hard to tell, just kind of an indistinct bitterness. Kinda metallic in fact.
M: Surprisingly medium bodied for 3.4% but still fairly light.
O: Another unique beer from night shift. I wonder where they dream this stuff up? Nice strength of flavors in this one for such a low ABV (again, only 3.4%, it's like bud light light). Only thing I didn't like was the strong acrid bitterness in the finish. Obviously there isn't much malt balancing it out so it's not surprising I guess. It would be really good without that odd bitterness though, I think.
