Hello beer lovers and welcome to another edition of the
NorCal Beer Blog's brew review.
Tonight’s featured beer is Belching Beaver Brewery Horchata
Imperial Stout. I picked this bottle up at The Wine Club in San Jose (here). They have a small craft beer
section, but they have an incredible selection. If you're anywhere near
The Wine Club go visit them and tell 'em Mark from NorCal Beer Blog sent you!
From the Belching Beaver Brewery website: “A salute to our south
of the border brothers brewing great beer! An imperial stout brewed with
vanilla, cinnamon and rice malt with a creamy medium body. It’s a real treat
and dessert in a glass!”
Let’s get started!
Appearance: Pours
black with a dense tan head and great lacing.
Aroma: Cinnamon,
vanilla, nutmeg, chocolate, coconut and some coffee notes.
Taste: Lactose,
cinnamon, chocolate, toasted coconut, vanilla and some coffee.
Overall: They hit
the nail on the head…an Imperial Stout that’s got the scents and flavors of
Horchata. Belching Beaver Brewery
Horchata Imperial Stout is sweet, medium-bodied and delicious. This 9% ABV offering is worth a try for fans
of Imperial Stouts with a twist.
Cheers!
Mark Harvey
