Hello beer lovers and welcome to another edition of the
NorCal Beer Blog's brew review.
Tonight’s featured beer is Prairie Artisan Ales Bomb!
Imperial Stout Aged on Coffee, Cacao Nibs, Vanilla Beans and Chili Peppers. I
picked up this bottle at Cork N Bottle in Fremont, CA (here). Great selection – I highly
recommend the place!
From the Prairie Artisan Ales website: “Bomb! is an imperial
stout aged on espresso beans, chocolate, vanilla beans, and ancho chile
peppers. All the flavors meld to create a truly unique beer. The peppers add
just the right amount of heat to compliment the intense coffee and chocolate
flavors.”
Let’s get started!
Appearance: Pours
black with a thin mocha colored head and spotty lacing.
Aroma: Cacao,
coffee and vanilla loom LARGE in the nose…very sweet smelling with an
underlying chili pepper scent.
Taste: Cacao
nibs, coffee, vanilla and just a touch of chili pepper heat.
Overall: Nice,
sweet and incredibly drinkable, Prairie Artisan Ales Bomb! Imperial Stout is
super smooth and amazing. The 13% ABV is extremely well hidden. Each ingredient is masterfully highlighted in
perfect proportion. Highly recommended
wouldn’t come close to how I feel about this one…get some!
Cheers!
Mark Harvey
