Back To The Grind
Prohibition Pig

 

This was poured into a half pint glass at the brewpub. The appearance was a dark brown color close to black with a bar pour’s kind of slim head and no lacing. The aroma started off with some sweet cocoa running into some roasty coffee bean. The taste was basically the same with the oatmeal adding a nice depth of a heavier graininess but not too heavy. There’s a light semi-sweet to roasty aftertaste running into the finish. On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium with a decent sessionability about it. Carbonation runs light allowing the oatmeal to take the place and being somewhat grainy but not overbearing - hitting just right on my mouth. Overall, this was a really nice sweet stout with the oatmeal playing a good part.

 

 

Really nice session stout. Coffee is in the background. Balanced roast and bitterness. Dry finish. Easy drinking and light especially for a stout. As it warms the coffee gives more of an iced coffee note with a hint of sweetness to balance the bitter.
