Troegs Java Head Stout

Troegs Java Head Stout - 7.5% Abv. Beer has been brewed since Pre-Neolithic times most likely to celebrate the ending of the Younger Dryas, or end of the last Ice Age.  Sounds like happy times.  Coffee, a relative newcomer, has been around since perhaps the 9th century thanks to Ethiopian goat herders and their desire not to get eaten late in the night.  Today, thanks to modern craft brewers, we now have much happier times to celebrate: a marriage of semi-addictive legal stimulant-laden liquid love in a cup with an oatmeal stout. Cheers!

Southern Tier Mokah Stout


Southern Tier Mokah - 11.2% abv. Strong seasonal artisan stout brewed with chocolate and coffee. This is a real sweet treat. It's no daily drinker and you certainly won't want to slam down a few of them over horse shoes, or bring a cooler full to a NASCAR race. As with the other Southern Tier brews I've tried, it's remarkably well crafted and enjoyable, even when the style of beer isn't your type. Impressive. Try it.

Southern Tier - Crème Brûlée Imperial Milk Stout

Southern Tier Brewing Co - Crème Brûlée Imperial Milk Stout. 9.6% abv. Summer seasonal from the artisan brewers in Lakewood, NY. Admittedly, this beer doesn't sound appealing at all. However, from the first whiff of it's indulgent aroma it will be etched into memory forever. One glass is enough in a sitting, but it's incredibly well done. Pairs great with conversation.
