Midnight Beats: Blue
Finback Brewery - Glendale

 

Pours pitch black, quite thick, nominal mocha head. Fantastic aroma of liquid fudge, bourbon barrel, milk chocolate. Flavor is fudge, milk chocolate, loads of bourbon barrel flavor, pineapple presents as a tangy flavor on the finish, not necessarily pineapple flavor. Coconut is faint but the creamy texture creates more of a coconut flavor. Super thick and creamy, viscous and full bodied, excellent texture. Overall a really, really delicious BA Stout. I would have preferred more coconut flavor, but it is still a delicious beer.

Mid sized bottle from the Park Slope, Brooklyn location. J. Wakefield Brewery collaboration.

Pours out like motor oil, near black and quite thick.

Fudge brownie sniff, with maybe a hint of pineapple.

Full flavor, rich, chewy, delicious.

Waves of dark chocolate, with fudge brownies coming to mind. Im not getting much if any of the advertised "pineapple and coconut"

Very great pastry beer, with chocolate, pineapple, and coconut. Not too sweet, fruit is significant. All worked, on tap at Brooklyn location. Wakefield collaboration.
