Like me, Elevensies Espresso Stout comes from Fredericton, New
Brunswick. It's a 5.5% alcohol number that comes from Maybee Brew Co.
This stout is, I assume, brewed with espresso, though unfortunately
there is no information about the source of the beans on the 473mL can.
The
beer is dark brown with amber highlights, under a creamy head. There is
a rich and malty nose that was really quite powerful. The stout proved
to be flavourful and hearty, with huge coffee bitterness. Beneath that,
there were some molasses notes lurking and a decent malt profile.
This
was a pretty decent stout, though the coffee elements really dwarfed
the beery ones. It was pretty feisty and tasty, though. I'd definitely
like to revisit it.
Rating: 7.5 out of 10.
