So Hot Right Now
Saucony Creek Brewing Company + Gastropub

Sampled in May 2021 from 16oz can in pint glass. "Canned on" date of 1/27/2021 was on the can.

Appearance: Pitch black, dark color, and had a small 1-finger dark tan head when poured. The head lasted only a minute leaving a thin head, and left almost no lacing on the glass.

Smell: There is a strong coffee aroma detected as well as some chocolate and earthy aromas. Also, some sweet vanilla aromas, with no bitter hop aromas. Nice combination between the various aromas, but the coffee aroma dominates.

Taste: Strong coffee flavor. Also, nice roasted malts flavors. There is only a little hop bitterness which provides some balance to the other flavors. A little sweetness like licorice as well.

Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied, and very smooth stout. Moderate alcohol which matches with the 7.2% on the label.

Overall: This is a very good drinking beer, and an interesting stout. It is not dominated by just the coffee flavor, and is more complex and enjoyable than many other stouts. I would definitely buy this again, and could drink a can of this every day.

Great coffee and chocolate taste with body and full flavor of stout. For higher ABV % does not have the nose or taste of it, ie smooth.

Canned on 1.16.20.

A - Pitch black pour with a thick toffee colored layer of creamy foam on top.

S - Nice robust aroma permeates the nose with coffee, char, a slight hit of cream, but mostly dominated by roasty char.

T - Follows the nose with alot of roast from start to finish. Coffee bean, dark roasted malt, char, and some dark roasted malt. Finishes with a nice lingering dark roast and chocolate that lingers on the palate.

M - Thick and silky with just a touch of thinness around the edges (but not much).

O - This is a rock solid coffee stout that doesn't punch you in the face with a high ABV. Lots of flavor and recommended.
