Wallenpaupack Brewing Company Cosmic Trench
What the brewers say
“Tropical stout brewed with molasses, crystal and roasted malts.”
What our panel thought
“Aroma of brown sugar, light coffee, toast with tropical-fruit notes. Flavor is smooth malt sweetness with dark coffee, light raisin, dates, black currant, fresh fig, plum. A distinct mince-pie vibe. Dark roast aids the hop bitterness, but still the balance is rather sweet.”
What our editors thought
“Strong guava and kiwi hop notes in the aroma give it an almost hazy black IPA feel. Full in the sip with intense fruit and roast flavors that compete for attention.”
