Baking Bad's story began in a Clairemont back yard in the late 90s, drinking a Chocolate Stout from the once legendary Sports City Brewing. At the time a beer tasting like Chocolate was eye opening and a bit surreal. Fast forward to the present day adjunct wars and the concept of a Stout with just chocolate is as tame as a three toed sloth listening to John Tesh. But what Baking Bad lacks in caloric abundance and social media pictures of pastries being thrown into mash tuns, it more than delivers on balance, mouthfeel, and delectable chocolatiness. Created to be the adjunct Stout that you can sit down and drink three of, Baking Bad not only takes place in the real world with a normal ABV, but also is packed with notes of lightly roasted hazelnuts, toasted malt, milk chocolate, dark cocoa, coffee bean chaff, and tiramisu.
Contains: Chocolate, Cocoa Nibs, Dutch Cocoa Powder

On tap at Out of the Barrel

A: Pours basically black with a frothy tan head that settles to a light layer and laces very nicely.

S: Legit smells like a fresh pan of brownies, plenty of milk chocolate, fudge, and cocoa powder, a hint of coffee, slightly nutty, faint dried fruit, a touch earthy, and some toffee sweetness.

T: Big fudgey milk chocolate, soft roasty malt, a hint of coffee, tiramisu, light underlying dark dried fruit, fig and date, a bit earthy, and some toffee and brown sugar sweetness.

M: Medium body, moderate carbonation, soft and chewy.

O: They definitely hit their target of a brownie stout. I wouldn't mind a touch more bitterness to balance the sweetness, but ya gotta love seeing a lower ABV beer being given some extra flair.
