Coffee Oatmeal Imperial Stout

N. Cold Coffee...and that’s all


Cerveza Chica; Let me begin by stating that I wanted to save what I thought would be the worst beer for last. Man was I right. The smell of beer was repulsive to me. All I could smell was coffee and nothing else. Last I checked coffee is something that you drink in the morning, and it doesn’t pair well with beer. I literally could only take two sips of this beer. I did not taste the oatmeal in it at all because the coffee was so overpowering to me. I could taste the alcohol in this and it was definitely like a stout. I am not upset in any way that this is a seasonal beer and that it is gone. Good riddance.
Score:1.77


Ferm; This coffee, wait I mean beer is strong, smooth and yummy. Now I’m not a fan of Porters or Stouts, as I have said a million times already, but this is solid. I think the more I try of this type of beer, the more it is starting to grow on me. This one starts with straight coffee and then blends smoothly into its malt and then finishes sorta sweet. Not a bad after taste. Worth a try for the coffee fan, even if your not a fan of crafts. This is a beer that I think I may try to break Mother Ferm in on, since she is a big fan of coffee and not so much on beer.

  1. Yeah this one scares me to want to try. I'm not big on beers with a lot of coffee taste so I don't know
