Twitchy Bitch on Ethiopian Coffee Beans
R. Shea Brewing - Merriman Valley

I have really liked most of this brewer's output but they are competing for my attention with the top brewers.

This Twitchy pours like a stout with nice head and fine fizz. The aroma is dank roasted malts and coffee. The excellent taste is similarly dry and roasty. Excellent. It feels thick on the tongue. Don't get any on ya, and it will stain your teeth.

Highly recommended. It is worth the high price. The name of the brew no longer contains the word "bitch" but otherwise it is the same.

I got a can of this beer off the single shelf from my local beer store just around the corner. It poured an opaque dark with an ecru ring head that is not leaving any lace. The scent had a molasses and maple syrup flare with subtle coffee highlights. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with caramel macchiacho and mocha base with bold anise accent. The mouthfeel was medium in body and had good carbonation. Overall this is a solid beer.

 

I found this beer quite good the carbonation was kind of low even though it was canned March 20th 2020. The snow was also kind of faded mild coffee roast some chocolate but it really wasn't bursting with the coffee aroma that others described. Taste is exceptional smooth mocha roast, mild cocoa and chocolate with no real bittering hops just a nice sweet finish. 9% is well covered giving a slick medium to heavy body easy to down. Overall I would love to pick up this beer again these guys really impressed me with their Russian imperial stouts.

16 ounce can, canned on 03/04/20. Served in a snifter, the beer pours dark brown/black with not quite an inch tan head that didn't stick around for too long. Not much lacing, either. I like the aroma, the brew smells like coffee, chocolate, caramel, and a bit of herbal/floralness. I think the taste is similar to the aroma, but with the addition of some citrus, earthy and roasted malt flavors. Mouthfeel/body is medium/full, it's coating and smooth with a moderate amount of carbonation. I thought this was a good overall coffee stout, definitely worth pick up if you come across some! $4 for a single can.

 

 

From the tall boy can in a snifter. This Bi@chin' little brew pours a deep blackish brown
with a nice head of off white foam that settles to a thick rig, thin clumping layer, and
supports some faint lacing. Nose of coffee, faint herbal notes, char, brulee, and
wafting citrus notes. Flavors follow the nose with aplomb. Rich coffee, cocoa,
brulee, faint lemon zest and citrus verging on grapefruit, and nice char notes
abound on all sides. Excellent mouth feel; full body, moderately slick, smooth,
coating, light carbonation that gives a little spritz, and a char and brulee laden
finish that is rich and full.

Overall, my first brew from this brewery and a nice WOW to the evening.

Worth trying!

Cheers
