Americano Stout
Parsons North Brewing

 

 

22 oz bottle born on 7/22/20 and poured into a snifter at 53 degrees F:
L - Black with a hazelnut head that dissipated quickly
S - smells like a really great cup of coffee
T - Malt and coffee are the primary flavors. very dry finish
F - more carbonation than I prefer, otherwise a medium flavorful mouthfeel
O - solid, full bodied, very enjoyable beer, especially for the price. This brewery knows how to make stouts.

22 ounce bottle, tag on bottle says 5/20 so I'm assuming that's the bottling date. Served in a Spiegelau stout glass, the beer pours a very dark brown color with a couple inch tan head that stayed around a while. There's a decent amount of lacing. I like the aroma, the brew smells like chocolate, coffee, roasted malt and caramel. For the most part I think the taste is similar to the aroma, but there's also some molasses and dark bready flavors noticeable too. Starts off sweet tasting, and then has a roasty/coffee finish. Mouthfeel/body is medium, it's a bit creamy and coating with a moderate amount of carbonation. I thought this was a good coffee stout, certainly worth picking up if you come across some! $7.99 a bomber.
