Sand City Brewing Co. - North

 

 

 

Served in a Sand City snifter glass from the can which I picked up at the brewery today (2021 can marked 14.5% abv).

Appearance: Thick black body with a dark tan head rising half a finger's length off the body.

Smell: decadent aroma which is stuck to you like nails on a finger. Molasses with caramel and chocolate.

Taste: Chocolate peanut butter cup with a hint of milk chocolate versus dark with a light American coffee undertone. It's sweet but not overly done. Very hard to keep the glass down.

Mouth: Sticky body. Soft carbonation. Think of Reese's cups meshed with

Overall: I'm seriously impressed. I like the complex peanut and milk chocolate. Candy for adults. Salud!

A 1 pint can, canned on 23rd February 2018. Poured into a snifter glass.

Appearance: It poured dark dark brown to black in colour with a thin half finger brown head that dissipated almost immediately, but left some nice spotty lacing.

Aroma: Sweet, moderate roast, chocolate, brown sugar, licorice, caramel, and toffee, with hints of vanilla, marshmallow, and some nutty notes.

Taste: Roasty, sweet, dark chocolate, caramel, fudgy, brown sugar, molasses, licorice, dark fruit, and coffee, with a light but lasting bitter and boozy finish.

Mouthfeel: Syrupy, full bodied with soft carbonation.

Overall: Aromas were good, but taste was a touch too sweet and syrupy for me. It was still quite drinkable as a slow sipper though.

Pours jet black, thick and oily with a little bit of dark brown head.

Smell is roasty with notes of coffee, rum, chocolate, oaky vanilla, macadamia nuts and hints of dried fruits and licorice.

Taste is powerful and a bit boozy, with notes of licorice, chocolate, coffee, some nuts and some rum. A bit of bitterness, like very dark chocolate, comes through as well.

Mouthfeel is full and rich, well carbonated.

Overall, a very good stout, a little bit too boozy.

 

 

Pitch black and thick with a mocha head
Sweet chocolate and milky coffee
The taste follows with a metallic taste, due certainly to a cold oxydation
The mouthfeel is thick motor oil
This could be an incredible beer if not for the metallic taste

 

 

 

 

Black color with dark brown head. Aroma has lots of chocolate liquor, some berries and dark, sugary malts. Taste is malty, sweet at first but gets more bitter and roasty with coffee notes towards the finish. Full bodied with light to medium carbonation. Quite heavy, roasty imperial stout with a good amount of bitterness.
