Day 15 – Winter Grind Coffee Stout

On Tuesday, December 15th, 2020 our beer of the night is a coffee stout by Mother’s Brewing Company out of Springfield, Missouri. This coffee stout isn’t too bad… just don’t let it sit too long.  At 6% it is smooth – no bitter flavor at all.  This isn’t one that really made us want to…

On Thursday, December 10th, 2020 our beer of the day is a coffee maple stout. This beer is brewed by the Sherring Brewing Company out of Maryland Heights, MO.   At 6% ABV served in a 1 pint can, this isn’t too overpowering on the maple flavor.  It’s drinkable but to me, a bit weak. We…

This is a bourbon barrel-aged stout with vanilla and chai spices.  It…
