No Sleep With Hazelnut
Structures Brewing

 

Poured into a Fremont small snifter. Pours a very dark mahogany brown, appearing opaque in the glass with a quarter finger khaki head that dissipates to patches with light lacing. Aroma of dark toasted malt, coffee, hazelnuts and bakers chocolate. Flavor follows with dark toasted malt, strong drip coffee, bakers chocolate and mild hazelnut; bakers chocolate covered coffee bean finish. Medium bodied with light to moderate creaminess. Like the 2024 version, this is a quite coffee forward stout that tastes as if stout has been poured into a fresh brewed cup of coffee. Clear hazelnut in the aroma, but it is faint in the taste until the end when a light nutty flavor emerges. For coffee fans, this is a stellar brew in two ways. The stout base seems to be in the background, but supports the coffee well. Very nicely done, but the hazelnut is faint due to the fine, rich coffee character. enjoyable.
