They weren’t kidding when they named this beer, it really is the BEST morning beer I’ve ever had. I could drink this everyday instead of coffee…but maybe that’d be a bad idea hehe. Even Katie (my girlfriend) liked it and she hates stouts beer. When I saw it I immediately thought of a pre-ski moment, because nothings wrong with a little liquid courage before hitting the slopes right? Something I practice on the reg. 😉
This brew, “worthy of the crack of dawn,” contains rolled oats for a smooth body, cold coffee extract for that 6.am. pickup and hefty dose of lactose for a creamy, milky finish. The 6am Stout is perfect choice if ya wanna rock some liquid breakfast.
TASTE TEST: Pours thin, minimal carbonation and black in color. Hints of coffee and toffee, Caramel but not burnt caramel. Milky but not in look or feel. Seriously going down like water it’s so light and smooth. Very well balanced. Not too sweet or too bitter or too heavy. Literally just a perfect mouthfeel for morning time. 🍼
Don’t be scared of stouts people! You may have already categorized them as “those heavy beers,” but this one is actually QUITE light, light enough in texture as a Corona even. The light quality makes it really easy to drink in the morning plus the added coffee make it extra flavorful and caffeinated for 9am fun. 😋☕️☕️☕️
Now I must pound this beer and shred the gnar! (Translation: I have to quickly finish this beer because I’m loosing time to snowboard epic snow 😜). For real though, Tahoe actually has some snow and it’s making me BEYOND excited. So, Happy Sippin’ Sunday from Squaw Valley USA! 🏂🍻 🎿
