On draft, Loosa Brews, Tuscaloosa, AL.
The pour revealed a smooth viscosity right away, filling the glass and boasting a rich, beige head of foam that sat comfortably above the body of the beer. Even patterns of lace coat the glass as the carbonation fizzles out.
On the nose is where the malt bill showcases. Lightly bitter and roasty really compliment the coffee and help to emphasize the mildly nutty, earthy aromatics indicative of Seeds Coffee.
The flavors do well to both compliment and contrast the profile on the nose. Introduced by flavors of baker's chocolate and coffee, a re-emergence of that pleasant bitterness intertwine with the semi-sweet quality of the chocolate and prevent any one component from creating an imbalance on the palate. The malt backbone rounds out the overall experience with a bold richness on the tail. The one adjunct that takes a bit longer to pick out is the coconut. It works here as more of a subtle compliment, adding subtle yet crucial complexity as the beer warms and continues to open up.
A smooth drinking stout. While this is a quality you expect from the milk stout style, the low, effervescent carbonation aids in softening the mouthfeel. As it finishes, there is a subtle warmth from the alcohol that doesn't punch too hard, but serves as a reminder of the 8% ABV.
