New Brighton Coffee Stout
Tuckahoe Brewing Company

Beautiful essense, intense coffee, great taste!

Poured from a tallboy can into a Dogfish Head tulip

L: Dark brown pour.. nearly black with thick creamy white head. Great lacing.

S: Sweet and roasty... coffee and cocoa.

T.F: Semi-sweet roasted grains and brown sugars/toffee to start. Espresso and milk chocolate. Hopping for balance/bitterness but this does tend towards the sweeter side. Creamy carbonation... somewhat light bodied for the 9%.

O: For a sweet-ish Imperial coffee stout I thought this one was well done. Nice mix of milk chocolate and espresso. One I'd pick up again.

Two to three finger head, deep brown coloration, good density as well as retention, creamy looking, the lacing forms a full coating on the glass. Black liquid with no hint of coloration at the edges, a few scattered tiny bubbles can be seen periodically. The coffee scents show as much lactose as roast, deep but not particularly penetrating, more dark than milk chocolate, has a metallic aspect sort of like oyster shells, a hint of tire rubber and then white grape, cherry fruit scents, while not attractive at least it dissolves quickly enough. Medium-bodied, smooth and able to establish a brisk pace across the palate. Not much carbonation, as a partial result the sweeter chocolate, toffee notes outlast any roastiness. The coffee more knit in and less pronounced here than in the nose. Credible amount of nuttiness, the fruit darker here, maybe cherry or plum, hard to parse out. Expected a drier finish than received, again, while the pacing is good texturally the flavors don’t evolve. All-in-all, and allowing for its simplicity, it’s an enjoyable drink and not out to over-impress.

 

 

 

 

Black in color with no penetration to light. There's a half inch of creamy, frothy brown head on top. It quickly dissipated to a quarter inch. The aroma is of greasy and faint coffee. The taste is much more forgiving. I'm getting some cinnamon and faintly sweet coffee. The mouth is a bit chalky and watery.

 

 

I had this on draught at the brewery. It pours a deep walnut color with a tan head and lacing. It smells of freshly-brewed coffee, roasted malt, cocoa, and a whiff of caramel. The taste features dark roasted coffee, roasted malt, nuts, and a hint of hops and the finish. For a stout, the feel is quite thin, with minimal carbonation. The 9% ABV is noticeable but not overwhelming. Overall, this stout is rather thin in body and one-dimensional in its taste. It would benefit from some additional caramel and dark fruit.

Jet black pour. Some lacing after the head dissolves. Smells of roasted malts, coffee and a little char. Taste is loaded with coffee but not overly bitter. Smooth finish with even more coffee leftovers. Local here in Southern NJ. If you're here, look for this between $14-$15 bucks for a sixer

 

 

 

 

 

 

Deep dark brown to black with creamy lacey head. Layers of nose- like baked goods in a coffee shop. Roasted malt, chocolate, coffee, and toffee notes. Creamy and delicious. So good!
