Pick Me Up
Combustion Brewery & Taproom

I tried this beer at the brewery with both my wife's brothers as part of a four sample flight. It poured an opaque dark with thin off white head that left some lace. The scent had roast, coffee and chocolate notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with roast, coffee and dark chocolate presence. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall it is a great beer.

32 ounce crowler, filled yesterday at the brewery with a best by date of 9/5 written on the label. Served in a Combustion Mug Club glass, the beer pours dark brown/black with about an inch or so tan head that stuck around for a long time. Lots of lacing. I like the aroma, lots of coffee, burnt/charred malt and some dark chocolate. Taste is pretty much like the aroma, coffee is dominant but with burnt/charred malt, dark chocolate and a bit of vanilla flavor noticeable too. Nice roastiness in the finish. Mouthfeel/body is medium, it's smooth and easy enough to drink with a good amount of carbonation. I thought this was a pretty good coffee stout, nice seeing Combustion bring back this one as I like having lower ABV stout options available. Worth trying this one if you're at the taproom!
