Lua Brewing

 

Easily one of the best stouts I've ever had. Every aspect of this beer was absolutely on point. As someone who lived near TG, Morning Delight is the closest thing I can think of to compare this beer to, and IMHO this beer is better.

Look: It pours a thick, black, with a very small amount of dark brown head. Very viscous and almost stains the glass. Perfectly carbonated for a stout.

Smell: This is spot on, you get BIG coffee and Cacao on the nose, some vanilla and hazelnut. Coconut is the only smell that is hard to discern on the nose.

Taste: Just like the nose, HUGE coffee and Cacao up front, then hazelnut is next, vanilla and a little coconut round out the finish. The description they give for this beer is EXACTLY what I find when I taste it...they nailed it.

Feel: It has that thick, viscous mouth feel the we associate with big stouts. I compare it to TG stouts like MD and SR-71...full bodied, thick, viscous, but NOT too syrupy. Again, in terms of a big stout, they nailed it.

Overall: This beer blew my socks off. For a place that's been open for 6 months, I'd heard good things but I always take them with a grain of salt. This far exceeded my expectations.

One of the best stouts I’ve ever had. Deep dark malt flavors with a light spiciness, I got mostly cinnamon. The mouthfeel was nice and thick. This brewery has been absolutely killling it. I’ll be back for sure, I’d love to see a BA version of this beer.
