Stout De Olla
Cervecería Santa Sabina

 

From the 12 oz bottle in a snifter via the little lady's daughters beau---Thanks Jamie!
This interesting little stout pours a park blackish brown with a thin tea highlight
and a modest head that fizzles to a thin ring with subtle lacing. Nose of coffee,
char, smoke, and subtle cinnamon with cocoa. Flavors follow the nose with
dark cocoa (bakers), light cinnamon, char, smoke, and strong coffee. Decent
mouth feel; full body, smooth, light carbonation, and a bitter malt finish that is
just a hair thin.

Overall, a fine little brew from Mexico.

Cheers

L- Jet black body, creamy cappuccino colored head with low retention leaving a thin halo around the edges.
S- Dark coffee, chocolate, cinnamon.
T- Coffee and chocolate. Starts strong but fades out fast.
F- Slightly watery.
O- Starts out great but weakens from there. Good.

This is a mexican stout with cinnamon and vainilla like "café de olla" or coffee from the pot, a traditional way of drinking coffee in Mexico. A little bit too sweet for me.
