S'mores Stout
Octopi Brewing

Poured a black body with minimal head and lace down the glass. The aroma is slightly "graham-crackery" with some chocolate syrup in the back. Smooth beer, medium, almost heavy body, has a touch of stickiness to it. Chocolate is dominant flavor with some vanilla, graham cracker and marshmallow fluff underneath but this comes across as mostly chocolate.

 

Canned on 1/31/20. 12oz can poured into a tulip. Pours almost black; small khaki head that fades leaving decent retention and lacing. The aromas have a nice amount of graham cracker leading the way along with some vanilla and marshmallow. There's a nice amount of banana. Mild hints of chocolate and cocoa. Malts are there. The flavors follow the nose. More graham cracker leading the way. Vanilla comes through. The chocolate is on the subtle side but still does its thing. More banana in the mix along with some coconut. This one is ultimately bittersweet and balanced. Malts do their thing. Alcohol goes unnoticed. Mouthfeel is on the lighter side of full-bodied with moderate to active carbonation. It's almost thin, but not quite. It's sharp, fluffy and smooth.

This is a nice "S'mores Stout". The graham cracker leads the way letting you know what it is. I'm picking up on banana which makes this one somewhat unique. They did a nice job with this one.

Best dark s’mores beer I’ve had.

 

 

Tasted in a Spiegelau stout glass from a 12 fl oz can on December 24, 2018. Look is dark roast coffee with a thick tan head and spotty lacing. Taste is sweet with some dark roasted malt notes. Smooth finish.

 

 

 

 

 

12oz can, served in a snifter glass. Pours a dark cola brown body, one finger offwhite head, good retention, not much lacing. Smell is milk chocolate, cocoa, touch of graham cracker, a bit of vanilla, a bit of dark fruit. Flavour follows. A bit muddled, a bit of graham cracker but some astringency and dark fruit holds it back some. Mouthfeel is medium thinner bodied, fair carbonation, a bit of dark fruit and astringent herbal bitterness. Nothing too crazy, a bit tough to finish completely because of the astringency and somewhat muddled nature of the finish.
