Lift Bridge Brewery Irish Coffee Stout
What the brewers say
“Milk stout is blended with whiskey barrel-aged imperial stout before it’s finished off with locally roasted coffee.”
What our panel thought
“Fresh roasted cold brew coffee with a hint of nuttiness and vanilla. Initial blast of coffee bitterness is quickly followed by a round sweet note, equal parts brown sugar, almond, vanilla. Sweetness slowly fades into a rounded coffee-bean bitterness.”
What our editors thought
“Coffee and cream with almost hazelnut and marshmallow highlights in the aroma. Deeper sweet chocolate drives the sip with a softening vanilla note that heightens the sweetness. Dark-chocolate bitterness lingers long.”
