S'mores - CO2
Southern Tier Brewing Company

I am trying this beer off the tapper at The Daily Growler in Powell, Ohio as part of a six sample flight. It poured an opaque dark with tan head that is not leaving much lace. The scent had S'mores notes. The taste was sweeter leaning with an undeniable S'mores presence. The mouthfeel was medium in body and had smooth nitro carbonation. Overall it is a great beer.

On tap at Habitap in Greenville SC.

Appearance. Poured with an essentially black and opaque body with a good tan head.

This has a really appealing aroma although it (correctly) suggests that the flavor may be too sweet. ... and the flavor MAY be too sweet but is certainly in keeping with the flavor profile. There are hints of vanilla, marshmallows, milk chocolate and hazelnuts.

Overall. An excellent dessert beer but I won't be talking the $47 pitcher.

Pours a very dark color with a nice tan head and lacing
Aroma has chocolate, marshmallows and generous graham cracker hints
The taste follows the nose with a silky chocolate, marshmallows and graham crackers flavor
A medium bodied decently carbonated beer
A great creamy Stout

 

 

L: Had this beer on-tap at Growlers to Go - Short Pump, poured into a snifter glass. Had a coal black color and a thick, opaque consistency. There was a quarter inch of foamy, tan-colored, somewhat long-lasting head. Pretty good lacing.

S: An enticing aroma of chocolate, graham crackers, malt, marshmallow, and vanilla.

T: Tasted of a decent amount of malt (present throughout, but unobtrusive), a decent bit of vanilla, lots of chocolate (always welcome), a lot of marshmallows, and some graham crackers. Indeed, it does taste like S'mores. It's rich, thick, sweet, and balanced. Extremely focused and quite delicious.

F: A fair amount of carbonation with a silky smooth finish. Full-bodied.

O: A wholly enjoyable stout. Drinkable.
