Crooked Stave Artisan Beer Project Drip Line
What the brewers say
“Stout brewed with Corvus Coffee.”
What our panel thought
“Light-roasted coffee notes mingle with vanilla, caramel, dried fruit, and milk chocolate to create the impression of sweetness in the nose. Those sweeter elements show up in the initial sip but are rather abruptly countered by a coffee-like bitterness that carries long into the finish. A hint of boozy warmth emerges late.”
What our editors thought
“Lighter dried tropical floral notes in the foreground with a zippy chocolate line in the aroma, like a tea-infused chocolate truffle. Plays the sweet-herbal balance well in the sip with a sunny warmth.”
